SNWA GOES DCS Report

The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) is a critical municipal water provider, serving the city of Las Vegas and surrounding areas. With a capacity to process over 400,000 acre-feet annually, SNWA employs GOES transmitters for monitoring surface water, groundwater, and precipitation across various stations. The implementation of telemetry equipment has significantly improved data collection efficiency and accuracy. Future plans include enhanced monitoring of irrigation wells and water levels to address challenges posed by drought and ensure sustainable water resources for the region.

  1. SNWA GOES DCS Report By Chris Ashinhurst Southern Nevada Water Authority

  2. SNWA/LVVWD • LVVWD • Municipal water provider for the city of Las Vegas. • SNWA • Water purveyor for Southern Nevada • Process and treat more than 400,000 ac-ft through treatment and return flow credits. • Alternative water resources due to drought on CR. • Spring Valley • DDC Valleys

  3. Stations • GOES Transmitters • 1x Surface Water • 2x Groundwater • Outstations (Transmitting data to GOES stations) • 1x Surface Water • 1x Groundwater • 2x Precipitation • Not Yet Transmitting (Possible Future) • 40+ Groundwater • 20+ Surface Water • 10+ Precipitation

  4. Telemetry Equipment

  5. Performance • Installed GOES transmitters initially Summer 2013 • 300 baud CS2 • Generally very good. Only minimal data outages. • Issues • User Error Generally • Too much data • Data logger clock settings.

  6. Future Work • Irrigation Wells • Flow • Water Level • Well head pressure. • Remote location wells for background water-level monitoring.
