Where we can help
Areas of Expertise
With four years of experience in surface water measurement, we’re committed to bringing reliable, efficient solutions to the water users of northwestern Colorado. Our focus: custom structure design, automated flow control, and remote telemetry.

Measurement Structures
At Yampa Valley Surface Water, we specialize in partnering with water users—whether agricultural, industrial, municipal, or environmental—to design and implement efficient, reliable surface water measurement structures. Our approach begins with a thorough survey of your waterway to understand its natural dynamics, constraints, and opportunities.
By carefully analyzing the physical characteristics of the site and the required flow ranges, we create tailored solutions that ensure compliance with regulatory standards while optimizing measurement accuracy and system longevity. Whether you’re looking to upgrade existing infrastructure or build from the ground up, we’re committed to delivering smart, durable designs that support sustainable water management.
From initial consultation to final installation, we work closely with you every step of the way—because we believe the best solutions come from collaboration and a deep understanding of both the science and the site.

Automation
For clients seeking hands-off flow regulation, we offer fully automated gate systems installed above flumes or weirs. These systems allow you to set a target flow rate and let the technology take over—automatically adjusting to upstream conditions to maintain consistent, precise deliveries downstream.
Whether you’re managing irrigation, water rights, or environmental flows, our automation solutions ensure reliable performance with minimal intervention.

Telemetry
By adding a cellular modem, our systems become fully remote—allowing you to access real-time data from anywhere. When paired with automation, flow rates can be monitored and adjusted on the fly, whether you’re in the field or halfway around the world—all you need is an internet connection.
