The Bear River Canal Company (BRCC) is implementing the Measurement and Telemetry Project to install flume gates, slip meters, and telemetry equipment at 14 canal sites in Box Elder County, Utah. This project aims to improve irrigation efficiency by automating water flow monitoring and reducing manual adjustments, which currently result in significant water loss due to over-allocation and spills. The project will benefit local environmental interests, including the Bear River Bird Refuge and recreational duck clubs, by optimizing water distribution, reducing contamination, and improving water quality. This will also enhance water management, providing more efficient use of water resources across BRCC’s 126 miles of canals.
