AHPS Receives High Marks in Vermont

Senior Service Hydrologist Greg Hanson from the National Weather Service Forecast Office (WFO) Burlington passed along these positive comments from an engineer with Central Vermont Public Service power company. "I discovered your [AHPS] stage forecast web page a while ago and it has helped immensely during a large project which includes an impoundment draw down at our Weybridge station on Otter Creek. Our operator keeps saying ‘we've been lucky with the water' and I try to explain to him that it has been more than that. Thanks for the service and we will provide feedback as we continue to use your products."

Hanson, a 15 year veteran in the NWS hydrologic program has been working at the Burlington WFO for 5 years. He stated, "There were several days of isolated heavy rain during the dam work where AHPS proved to be especially beneficial."

Greg oversees the Lake Champlain watershed and the Vermont portion of the Connecticut River and a portion of the St Lawrence River. His hard work at building a good dialogue with his AHPS users has proven to be beneficial. Good job Greg!
