Description The South Platte Water Rights Management System (SPWRMS) is a set of computer programs created to assist water administrators in their daily duties and to make the results of their decisions known in a more timely manner. The system provides a single repository for information concerning the South Platte River. Data indicating the physical state of the river resides in a central database with legal and administrative information. The database provides a single source for information of interest to administrators and water users. In addition, SPWRMS provides tools for viewing this data and testing hypothetical scenarios. Having information about the entire South Platte in one central location gives administrators and water users access to a common set of information in an understandable format. Information concerning any specific section of the river, once available only by contacting the administrator of that section, now resides in an easily accessible database. The consolidation of information speeds the decision-making process and provides more timely information to those making the decisions. In addition to aiding the real time management of the South Platte River, water information records in the SPWRMS database will help administrators create the Official Diversion Record at the end of the water year. The South Platte Water Rights Management System focuses on improving daily river management by enhancing information exchange. With streamlined information flow, administrators have more data on which to base decisions, and water users have immediate access to the same information.
