Lower Colorado River Authority

As a team of hydrologists in central Texas, we deal with a variety of extreme conditions. From the 100F temperatures and high humidity of the Gulf of Mexico, to the torrential rains and flash flooding of the Texas Hill Country, this laptop has experienced it all. We use the Rough Rider II to operate our Acoustic Doppler equipment and obtain flow data that is crucial in managing the rivers. In the blazing Texas sun, the outdoor viewable screen is clear and easy to read. In heavy rain, we can operate our equipment without the fear of water seeping in and ruining the system, and at night, the backlit keyboard is a real luxury. The Rough Rider II has proven to be a real asset to our work, and we look forward to testing it more in the future.
