Instruments Being Used In Stream Gauging

By Christopher Carter


Have you wonder about why floods occur? Usually those disasters happens because of the irresponsible acts of human beings. Of course it can still be prevented knowing that there are already ways for those preventions and more humans are making some actions in promoting the importance of a healthy environment. You should really be thankful for those humans who have brilliant ideas in making the environment clean and healthy. Furthermore, most environmental problems usually occur in water parts. Many people had make some solution with the use of stream gauging instruments.

You probably have heard about stream gauging somewhere. Or perhaps you see some people near the river measuring that body of water with some apparatus. It basically is a method of measuring the flow or discharge of a water. Apparently, many reasons can be stated on why those people especially those hydrologist are doing this process.

If you ask for the reasons, most likely they would say that it is for research purposes. Those individuals who will have their research can make this as their standard. Furthermore, this also helps so that a community will be aware as well about the situation of their rivers and other bodies of water. For example, a person can disseminate the information about the flood levels to the residents. And that way, they can make preparations for that casualty and make some preventions in the future. Dangerous situations will surely be prevented with this.

But how will you measure the water-flows? Of course that cannot be done by your mere hands or doing some manually carry a bucket of water. People need instruments for that. Hence, below are some of the apparatus being used for stream gauging and can be found in Hoskin Scientific.

FlowTracker2. This version is really modernized and has more advantage in contrast with its previous version. It would certainly be easy for users to navigate as well as to collect some data that they need. They can also do some viewing on on-screen sensors and also on beam checks. This would be your option if ever you prefer to find some accurate data.

Laboratory Fluorometer. This fluoremeter will certainly help you in analysing your samples. In addition, the procedure is easy to use and works on your advantage. Whenever you want to put the data into a spreadsheet in Excel while doing the process of measuring, you just have to connect it with a USB or other serial connection.

Digital Indicator. This one is inexpensive and you might prefer this for your option in calculations. It also has three modes where users can select. It can either be Manual wherein you use it for independent measurements. Or perhaps go in Automatic Averaging for turbulent flows. And lastly on Automatic for 4 second sampling.

ORR MF Pro Water Flow Meter. This device is low maintenance and user-friendly for it is water-resistant as well as lightweight. Furthermore, its saves users some time in calculations for it will be done automatically. It has many advantages which includes automatic calculations for discharge, versatility in applications, free from maintenance and others.

Those instruments are not the only ones you could find and use. In fact, you still can find others from shops and other places. With these materials, an environment can be balance once again.
