EXHIBIT 31.1
                                                                    ------------
                                  CERTIFICATION

I, Raul S. McQuivey, certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Sutron Corporation;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of
     a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
     statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
     were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this
     report;

3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
     information included in this report, fairly present in all material
     respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
     the small business issuer as of, and for, the periods presented in this
     report;

4.   The small business issuer's other certifying officer and I are responsible
     for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
     defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the small
     business issuer and have:

     a.   designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
          material information relating to the registrant, including its
          consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
          entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly
          report is being prepared;

     b.   evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls
          and procedures as of the end of the period (the "Evaluation Date");
          and

     c.   presented in this quarterly report our conclusions about the
          effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on our
          evaluation as of the Evaluation Date;

5.   The small business issuer's other certifying officer and I have disclosed,
     based on our most recent evaluation, of internal control over financial
     reporting, to the small business issuer's auditors and the audit committee
     of the small business issuer's board of directors (or persons performing
     the equivalent functions):

     a.   all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
          operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
          reasonably likely to adversely affect the small business issuer's
          ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
          information; and

     b.   any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
          employees who have a significant role in the small business issuer's
          internal control over financial reporting.

6.   The registrant's other certifying officer and I have indicated in this
     quarterly report whether there were significant changes in internal
     controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal
     controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation, including
     any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
     weaknesses.
