The Southern Nevada Water System pumps up to 900 million gallons of water per day through the desert, enabling flourishing life where it would otherwise not exist. Operated, since 2001 by the Southern Nevada Water Authority, the system got it's start in 1971, as growth in the region boomed. The system utilizes water from the Colorado River, stored in Lake Mead to deliver supply to residents and businesses. And no destination is more demanding than the bright light city - Las Vegas.

Las Vegas is known for consuming 200 gallons per resident, per day-70 gallons more than nearby Los Angeles. And the city that some say "shouldn't exist" based on natural resources alone, is kept alive by the Southern Nevada Water System.

Such a marvel of infrastructure is made possible through the effective use of technology, and the KEP SUPERtrol 1 (ST1) computers installed have the scale and collective power to manage the many data points.
