A scattergraph is a plot of measured depth versus velocity from a flow monitor that helps evaluate data quality, sensor performance, and hydraulic behavior such as surcharge or backwater.
Flow monitoring data are time-series records of depth, velocity, flow rate, and sometimes rainfall, collected to analyze system performance, I&I, and capacity.
A weir or flume is a hydraulic structure installed in open-channel flow that creates a known relationship between water level and flow rate, allowing indirect flow measurement.
A magnetic flow meter uses a magnetic field and electrodes to measure the voltage induced as conductive fluid flows through the meter, which is proportional to velocity and used to […]
A submerged pressure transducer is a sensor placed under water that converts the pressure exerted by the water column into a level reading.
