Enable USBIA to better control and measure flows with less uncertainty
Improve service with increased water delivery reliabilty, flexiblity and equity
Streamline processes for decisions to aid employee retention and training
Decrease unnecessary diversions
Decrease operational spill, thereby improving river quality
