Effective Risk Management through Real‐Time Asset Monitoring
During the winter of 2022 to 2023 , the Eastern Sierra Mountain ranges in California experienced record snowfall . While this snowfall was a welcome relief after years of drought , it also posed a threat to Owens Valley ’ s water infrastructure . The projected snowmelt was expected to exceed the capacity of the region ’ s water collection system . In response , the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power ( LADWP ) increased real‐time monitoring for three of their key dams and reservoirs : South Haiwee , Tinemaha , and Long Valley . The goal was to closely track the dams ’ conditions and responses to the anticipated snowmelt .
During this 1.0‐PDH lecture , attendees will gain critical insight into the importance of monitoring and the various types of technology used ( as well as recent advancements ), ultimately leading into a deep‐dive of the aforementioned project in California , followed by a brief overview of additional monitoring projects local to New England / New Hampshire .
