Energy efficiency is key to disruptive technology

The world faces an unprecedented combination of water security and resilience challenges. These challenges include population growth, increasing urbanisation, a decline in traditional sources of water and water scarcity driven by climate change. Globally, the United Nations1 estimates that some 3.6 billion people (almost half the world’s population) currently live in areas that are vulnerable to water scarcity and that almost 2 billion people could suffer water shortages by 2025.

To overcome these challenges, the water sector needs to adopt new technologies and ways of working, many of which may be disruptive when compared to traditional methods of water supply and wastewater treatment. Around the world several disruptive technologies which could have widespread positive impacts in the water industry have been identified, including digital technologies, water re-use, resource recovery and energy self-sufficiency.

Digital technologies and ‘digital water’

According to the UK Water Partnership2, “Digital thinking will impact every aspect of water, from management of sources, treatment technology and efficiency, consumption and customer engagement, through to re-use, collection and recovery of economically and environmentally important resources.”

With the ‘smart’ water market estimated at US$30 billion globally, it is no surprise that exploiting data to improve insight and decision-making and using that insight to improve process and efficiency is a key priority for managers. The monitoring and optimisation of wastewater treatment and sewer and sewage monitoring have both been identified as opportunities where water and sludge treatment technologies can be updated and improved. HRS already offers remote telemetry and digital monitoring of its systems, a feature which is becoming more and more important to clients around the world.

By 2025, about 80% of utilities in large cities of advanced countries and half of the utilities in large cities of developing countries are expected to have water supply systems which incorporate digital water features like advanced metering3. Another area of development is using satellite data to monitor catchments and water distribution systems, and it is reported that such systems can identify leaks as small as 100 mL/min.

However, digital water requires a whole-system approach and will not reach its full potential if only a few isolated smart systems are introduced. To truly delivery savings in water use and energy, water companies must completely digitise their supply chains and wastewater infrastructure, deploying sensors in the field and using electronic flow meters throughout the system, including at a customer level. One of the key potential benefits of increased digitisation in the water sector, as well as reduced water use and improved demand balancing, is reduced energy use through improved efficiency.

Water re-use

Various factors including increasing population, greater environmental demands to preserve and protect water sources, and climate change mean that alternative sources of clean and potable water need to be used. We have already seen increased use of rain capture and brown water re-use for cleaning and toilet flushing in many buildings, but there is increasing interest in treating wastewater streams to make them potable and immediately returning them to the water supply system (direct re-use), rather than returning treated wastewater to the environment through river systems and aquifers (indirect re-use).

Several issues need to be overcome before the direct re-use of treated potable water becomes widespread.

Several technologies already exist to enable wastewater to be processed into potable water, and as the economics of water abstraction and availability change, these will become more widespread. To become widely adopted, society will need to accept the idea that suitably treated wastewater is a desirable source of usable potable water — something that will be easier in some societies than others. This is not to say that it cannot be successfully achieved, as has been seen with projects in several US states, as well as Israel and Australia.

Resource recovery

Resource recovery is a key aspect of a true circular economy. Not only are there the economic and environmental benefits from the products themselves, but every cubic metre of recycled or re-used water results in a corresponding reduction in mains water demand and wastewater discharge. There are also benefits in terms of the energy and carbon footprints associated with material recovery when compared with primary extraction and processing, together with further environmental benefits arising from reduced waste disposal impacts.

As far as the wastewater industry is concerned, nutrients such as phosphorus from struvite are one of the prime contenders for nutrient recovery, although as the sector moves towards direct potable water re-use and advance technologies are adopted to remove a wider range of chemical compounds, the number of these which can be recovered and utilised elsewhere will also increase. Other valuable compounds that are beginning to be recovered include ammonia nitrogen and sodium-based products.

Various established and emerging technologies are used when recovering resources from wastewater, including membrane bioreaction, reverse osmosis, electrolysis, filtration and others. One of the most important processes is evaporation, which is used both to concentrate residues sufficiently to allow their economic extraction, and as part of the water purification process.

However, many of the processes involved in resource recovery, and evaporation in particular, can have a high energy requirement, but there are ways to mitigate this and improve the overall energy efficiency of the process. HRS has produced several different evaporation units for use in wastewater treatment and resource recovery, and energy efficiency is a key priority in their design. A typical HRS process might consist of three steps:

Evaporation/concentration (using one or more evaporators depending on the materials involved and the level of concentration required) to levels above the saturation point at high temperature.

Cooling down of the product to provoke the formation of salt crystals.

Further crystallisation in specially designed tanks and separation of the crystals that are formed to allow them to be processed for use. In the third step, a supernatant layer of concentrated solution remains after separation of the crystals. This solution is returned to the second evaporator for concentrating again to above its saturation point.

Fouling is a real concern during these processes and will not only reduce the efficiency of the material recovery, but also reduce the energy efficiency of the overall process. HRS Unicus Series scraped-surface heat exchangers are used to maintain thermal efficiency and remove fouling as it occurs. Coupled with HRS R Series coolers and custom-designed crystallisation tanks, the result is an efficient process which can work continuously without requiring scheduled downtime.

Energy self-sufficiency

Another form of resource recovery is the recovery of energy from wastewater streams. While anaerobic digestion is widely recognised as a water treatment technology around the world, its capacity for energy generation (either using combined heat and power production or to produce sustainable biomethane gas) is less well developed.

Ambitious goals for sustainable development will mean that wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) will need to achieve net zero carbon balances by 2030. Achieving this will require recovery of the energy contained in the incoming wastewater streams and using this to provide the heat and power necessary for wastewater treatment and solids handling. It has been estimated that at present, most WWTPs can produce 20 to 25% or their own energy requirements in this way2.

Therefore, increasing energy production at WWTPs will be critical to making the sector self-sufficient in terms of energy. But on its own it is unlikely to be sufficient to meet the net-zero goals. Reduced energy consumption using new and more efficient processes will also be required. Sludge processing and energy efficiency are intrinsically linked. For example, digestate and sludge concentration using equipment such as the HRS DCS is a more efficient and sustainable alternative to traditional drying methods.

The HRS DCS uses evaporation to reduce the overall quantity of digestate or sludge by 60–80%, reducing associated storage requirements and transport costs. The system includes measures to retain the valuable nutrients while the evaporated water can be condensed and re-used. In many cases the captured water is added back to the feedstock making the entire process almost self-sufficient in terms of water use and eliminating liquid discharges from the plant. After concentration, the treated digestate can contain up to 20% dry solids, making it much easier to transport and handle, and as much heat as possible is recaptured and re-used in the process, making it more energy efficient than alternative treatments.

Where sludge or digestate requires pasteurisation — for example, so that it can be used as an agricultural biofertiliser and soil conditioner — the 3 Tank Batch Sludge Pasteuriser System from HRS uses up to 70% less energy than traditional technologies. The system works on a three-tank principle: while one tank is being filled, the second tank holds the digestate above 70°C, at the same time as the third tank is being emptied. Again, heat and energy recovery are maximised to increase the overall process efficiency.

The challenges which the water and wastewater sectors face over the next couple of decades should not be underestimated. Water supplies will need to move from relying on traditional freshwater resources towards a sustainable diversified portfolio, and new novel and disruptive technologies will need to be implemented. However, existing technologies and simple principles (such as maximising efficiency at every opportunity) will also have important roles to play. With a mixture of established and new technologies the water industry is well placed to become more sustainable and a cornerstone of the wider circular economy.

Current ham radio news

Tad Cook, K7RA, Seattle, reports: Average daily sunspot numbers declined this week from 17.9 to 11.9. Why? Because on the final 2 days of the March 25 – 31 reporting week sunspots disappeared. That’s right. We’re back to the blank sun again, unfortunately.

Spaceweather.com reported on Wednesday that we may soon see a potential sunspot that’s currently on the far side of our sun.

Average daily solar flux dropped from 78.6 to 77.4. Geomagnetic indicators softened as well, with average daily planetary A index declining from 13.3 to 8.9, and middle latitude A index from 10.4 to 7.7.

Predicted solar flux over the next month does not look promising, with values way down in the 70s, although this forecast improved some over the past couple of days. Expect 10.7-centimeter flux at 73 on April 2 – 3; 71 on April 4 – 9; 73 on April 10 – 13; 74 on April 14 – 16; 76 on April 17 – 24; 75 on April 25 – 27; 74 and 73 on April 28 – 29, and 72 on April 30 – May 5.

Predicted planetary A index is 5 on April 2 – 5; 8 on April 6 – 7; 5, 10, and 20 on April 8 – 10; 5 on April 11 – 15; 20 and 18 on April 16 – 17; 8 on April 18 – 19; 5 on April 20 – 21; 8 on April 22 – 24; 12 on April 25; 8 on April 26 – 27; 5 on April 28 – 30; 8 on May 1 – 2; 5 on May 3 – 4, and 12 on May 5 – 7.

Here’s the geomagnetic activity forecast for April 2 – 27 from OK1HH. The geomagnetic field will be:

quiet on April 12 – 13, 24 – 26

quiet to unsettled on April 5, 14, 23

quiet to active on April (2 – 7, 15, 20 – 22, 27)

unsettled to active April (8, 11, 18 – 19)

active to disturbed April (9 – 10,) 16 – 17

Solar wind will intensify on April 3, (4-5, 8-9,) 10-11, (12, 16-17,) 18, (19-22, 27)

Parentheses mean lower probability of activity enhancement. Predictability of changes remains very low, as there are ambiguous and quickly changing indications.

This article in The Irish Times asks, “Was space weather the cause of the Titanic disaster?”

NN4X reported a 15-meter long path opening to Asia: “Nice opening to Asia here in Central Florida on the morning of April 1.

“On FT8, I worked BA7LP, YD7ACD, BG7PHA, and VR2VLY, and heard 9V1PL and BD7LMA.

“It was very concentrated. Note, no JA/HL/DU. Typically, I’ve been seeing more YBs than anything on 15-meter LP, but certainly not today.”

Many years ago we reported in this bulletin the results JQ2UOZ was getting running one-half watt using simple wire antennas on his apartment balcony. Check out his blog.

Another blast from the past on flares and CMEs:

This article in The Conversation discusses, “Why we need to get better at predicting space weather.”

The Carrington Event, mentioned in this article, “Extreme solar storms may be more frequent than previously thought,” continues to fascinate.

AL7LO has a collection of his favorite ARRL Propagation Bulletins, and he shared this one from 8 years ago.

Sunspot numbers for March 25 – 31 were 24, 24, 11, 11, 13, 0, and 0, with a mean of 11.9. The 10.7-centimeter flux was 78.8, 79.6, 80.4, 75.1, 74.4, 79.5, and 73.8, with a mean of 77.4. Estimated planetary A indices were 18, 12, 9, 6, 4, 3, and 10, with a mean of 8.9. Middle latitude A index was 18, 11, 7, 4, 3, 4, and 7, with a mean of 7.7.

The Challenge of Securing IoT

By now, everyone has heard the numbers. Internet of Things is part of a networking revolution that is transforming the world. Cybersecurity experts predict that by 2020 there will be over 33 billion IoT devices deployed, or 4.3 Internet-connected devices for every man, woman, and child on the planet.

Of course, IoT is more than just one thing. There are a variety of IoT devices and categories, each with their own implications.

Consumer IoT includes the connected devices we are most familiar with, such as smart cars, phones, watches, laptops, connected appliances, and entertainment systems.

Commercial IoT includes things like inventory controls, device trackers, and connected medical devices.

Industrial IoT covers such things as connected electric meters, waste water systems, flow gauges, pipeline monitors, manufacturing robots, and other types of connected industrial devices and systems.

The implications for networks, and especially cybersecurity Florence SC, are huge.

Call Now

Increasingly, IoT devices are being woven into local, national, and global networks, including critical infrastructures, creating hyperconnected environments of transportation, water, energy, communications, and emergency systems. Healthcare agencies, refineries, agriculture, manufacturing, government agencies, and even smart buildings and cities all use IoT devices to automatically track, monitor, coordinate, and respond to events.

While automating decisions and processes at machine speeds can generate revenue, improve our quality of life, make us more productive, and even save lives, it also introduces new risks and widens the threat landscape.

1. Some of the data passing from, to, or between connected devices contains personal information that can be exploited, including locations, names and addresses, ordering and billing information, credit card and bank information, medical records, government-issued ID numbers, etc.

2. When compromised IoT devices are connected to ITnetworks, they can become a conduit for breaches or the injection of malware.

3. Compromised Industrial and Commercial IoT devices can be used to make changes on the manufacturing floor. Operations technology, SCADA, and industrial control systems actually control physical systems, not just the bits and bytes of traditional IT networks, and even the slightest tampering can sometimes have far-reaching - and potentially devastating - effects.

4. Increasingly, IoT is also being integrated into our critical infrastructure. Transportation systems, chemical refineries, wastewater systems, energy grids, culinary water, and communications systems all use IoT devices. The cascading effect of a serious compromise can be potentially catastrophic.

The challenge is that many IoT devices were never designed with security in mind. IoT security challenges include weak authentication and authorization protocols, insecure software, firmware with hard-coded back doors, poorly designed connectivity and communications, and little to no configurability. And most IoT devices are “headless,” with limited power and processing capabilities. This not only means they can’t have security clients installed on them, but most can’t even be patched or updated.

The risk is real. Just last fall, compromised IoT devices were gathered into a massive botnet, causing the largest denial of service outage in history. Unfortunately, the general response by the security industry has been woefully inadequate. Sure, the expo floor at this year’s RSA conference is filled with vendors promoting devices and tools to sooth the IoT worries of organizations.

The problem is that the network teams that need to test, deploy, manage, and monitor these devices are already overwhelmed. Dozens of isolated devices with separate management interfaces have placed a strain on limited IT resources. Large enterprises already need to manage an average of 30 security consoles, connected to hundreds of security devices that usually operate in isolation. This makes gathering threat intelligence a cumbersome and time-consuming task, often requiring the hand correlation of telemetry data in order to identify malware or compromised systems.

And now, specialized security tools being created and promoted for IoT are going to expand the number of deployed hardware-based and virtual security devices even further.

The reality is, IoT cannot be treated and secured as an isolated, independent network. It interacts across your existing extended network, including endpoint devices, cloud, traditional and virtual IT, and OT. Isolated IoT security strategies simply increase overhead and reduce broad visibility. Instead, security teams need to be able to tie together and cross-correlate what is happening across their IT, OT, IoT, and cloud networks. Such an approach enables visibility across this entire ecosystem of networks, allowing the network to automatically collect and correlate threat intelligence and orchestrate real-time responses to detected threats.

This requires a rethinking your security strategy. A distributed and integrated security architecture needs to cover your entire networked ecosystem, expand and ensure resilience, secure compute resources and workloads, and provide routing and WAN optimization.

The Fortinet Security Fabric solves the challenge of security sprawl by integrating your security infrastructure together into a single, holistic framework. This allows you to effectively monitor legitimate traffic, including IoT devices, check authentication and credentialing, and impose access management across your distributed environment through an integrated, synchronized, and automated security architecture managed through a single pane of glass.

4 Keys for Selecting an Irrigation Flow Meter

By Katie Englin

Water agencies across the United States and abroad continue to require water flow meters for new and existing agricultural irrigation applications to measure and manage surface and groundwater use. There is a growing need to conserve resources, balance the water needs of agriculture with other industries, and with the continuing growing population residential use is driving water conservation as never before.

Irrigation scheduling is the process used by irrigators to determine the correct frequency and duration of watering crops. It involves understanding, applying, and then monitoring and controlling necessary instruments such as soil moisture sensors, rain gauges and flow meters to ensure efficient water use in crop production. This minimizes water waste and supports water conservation while maximizing crop health and yields. Good irrigation scheduling practices include knowing how much water is applied to each field. A properly selected and installed flow meter accurately measures the amount of water volume applied. An accurate flow meter is an essential tool to practicing good irrigation scheduling.

The two most common types of flow meters for irrigation are electromagnetic and propeller. Propeller meters are mechanical flow meters that have been around in irrigation since as early as 1919, and therefore make up a large portion of installed base of irrigation water meters in the US. Over fifteen years ago, many considered propeller meters the best meter choice for irrigation – that’s not the case today. Costly propeller meter repairs caused many meter users to look for other flow measurement options. With technology advancements, electromagnetic flow meters are now available battery powered for remote irrigation locations. Many offer long battery lives, high accuracy in tight spaces, and with no moving parts to wear out they are not affected by debris. Some magnetic flow meters offer a price point similar to a mechanical propeller meter. Magnetic flow meters are quickly gaining popularity in irrigation.

Use the following four tips to help with proper flow meter selection:

1. What is the application?

Understanding the fluid media, flow range, temperature, pressure, line size, needed signal outputs and available space for installation are all necessary to ensure proper flow meter selection.

What is the media? Is it groundwater, surface water, water from a pond or lagoon of manure slurries? While a mechanical meter may work fine for a clean water application where the flow range falls within the meter’s capabilities, magnetic flow meters offer the highest accuracy and performance in both clean and dirty water applications. With no moving parts, weeds, trash, and slurries that may otherwise become entangled in a mechanical meter, easily flow through magnetic meters.

What are the minimum and maximum flow ranges? Knowing the minimum and maximum flow range is most critical when selecting a mechanical propeller flow meter. Propeller meters require a minimum amount of flow to turn the bearing assembly and propeller fast enough to ensure an accurate reading. If the flow rate exceeds the rating of the mechanical meter, the bearing assembly can suffer costly damage and the meter will not function properly. With no moving parts to wear out, magnetic flow meter offers higher accuracy over a broader flow range than mechanical meters.

What is the temperature and pressure? Most flow meters offered for this market are rated up to 150 psi and 140 F operating temperature. Most of these applications fall well within that temperature and pressure range. However, it’s always wise to confirm the application temperature and pressure.

What is the line size? This will help determine the style of meter. Both electromagnetic and mechanical meters are available in full bore and insertion style configurations. In terms of cost and ease of installation, an insertion style may be the best option for larger line sizes.

Does the meter need a signal output? Some applications require the meter can send a signal such as pulse, 4-20mA or Modbus. In some cases, the output is used to send a signal to a remote telemetry system, allowing irrigators to collect meter data remotely. Signal outputs are optional on propeller flow meters, and will add the cost of a transmitter or special digital register that can provide outputs. Most electromagnetic flow meters include a pulse signal output as a standard feature, making them “telemetry system ready,” and Modbus or 4-20mA output signals can be provided for a small additional cost.

How much room is available to install a meter? Flow meter straight run pipe requirements are expensive in terms of materials and installation labor. In cases where a new flow meter is added to existing equipment, often there is not enough space to accommodate the straight pipe run necessary for accurate flow measurement. Mechanical propeller meters require more space to install due to the longer straight run requirements to ensure proper and accurate performance. Straightening vanes or flow straightening devices can be installed ahead of a propeller meter to shorten the straight run pipe requirement, but can add substantially to the cost and installation labor involved. Typically, a standard full-bore electromagnetic flow meter will fit nicely into a tight space and measure flow accurately. Even some insertion style magnetic flow meters will require less straight run installation space than a propeller meter and operate accurately.

2. How important is accuracy?

In general, electromagnetic meters are more accurate than mechanical meters. Most electromagnetic meters for irrigation, offer +/-1% of flow rate over a wide flow range with no head loss. The most common mechanical meters used in irrigation are propeller flow meter. Propeller meters generally offer +/-2% accuracy within a specified flow range, and some head loss should be expected. Since there are no moving parts to wear out, electromagnetic meters can maintain accuracy over the lifetime of the meter.

3. What is your meter maintenance schedule?

Just like most farm equipment, all irrigation flow meters will need attention at some point.

Mechanical propeller meters have moving parts such as the propeller, bearings and mechanical register that may wear out, causing interruptions in measurement data and resulting in costly repairs. The parts for mechanical meters have increased substantially over the years and repairing one can be almost as costly as replacing it. The standard warranty on most mechanical propeller meters is one year.

Electromagnetic meters do not have any moving parts to break, and maintenance is usually limited to battery replacement. Many battery powered magnetic flow meters now offer a 5-year battery life, and battery replacement cost is a small fraction of the cost associated with a typical mechanical meter repair. In addition, most electromagnetic flow meters come standard with a two to five-year warranty, depending on brand.

4. Electromagnetic or mechanical?

Electromagnetic flow meters – Also called magnetic meters or magmeters for short, operate by Faraday’s Law – if a conductive fluid, such as irrigation water, goes through a magnetic field, it creates a small voltage. Motion of a conductive fluid through the field generates a small amount of electricity, just like a generator (more flow = more voltage). Electrical coils placed outside the flow are momentarily energized. A magnetic field crosses the flow at right angles, electrodes measure the changing voltage, and the display unit shows rate and total. Magmeters have been around for 60 years, just not in irrigation. They were typically used in municipal and industrial, water and wastewater applications. In the past 15 years or so, magnetic meter technology has advanced so much that some are now available battery powered, making them great for irrigation use. Most magmeters come standard with many features that are optional on mechanical propeller meters. Many times, the overall out-of-pocket cost for a magmeter will be lower than the price of a mechanical propeller meter. To ensure you get the best value for your money, consider what you need in the flow meter – add for pulse output, straightening vanes (for tight space installations), high capacity bearing assembly, digital read out, data logging and any other options you may need on the mechanical propeller meter – then compare the price to a battery powered electromagnetic meter that normally includes all the options you need as standard features. In the end, magmeters offer: higher accuracy over broader flow ranges, no moving parts to replace, durability, no flow obstruction, long battery life, low maintenance, longer warranties, and minimal straight run requirements for tight space installations. In addition to full bore, some magmeters are now available in saddle insertion style for ease of installation in both new installations and retrofit/replacement of existing saddle propeller meters.

Mechanical propeller meters – Also called propeller meters or prop meters for short, operate under the following principles – The propeller meter consists of a rotating device, typically a helical-shaped impeller, positioned in the flow stream. The impeller’s rotational velocity is directly proportional to the velocity of the flow. As water flows through the pipe, it spins the propeller. The spinning motion is then carried to the head of the meter, through either gears or a drive cable. The instantaneous flow rate and total volume flowed can be read on the mechanical or digital meter register. Though they operate under the same principle, these meters are available in a variety of installation configurations to suit the installers need: saddle style, flanged style, threaded ends, grooved ends, etc., which can make installation simpler. Propeller meters can offer an economical flow metering solution when all that’s needed is mechanical rate and total volume flowed. They typically work fine in clean water applications, but water carrying debris can damage the moving parts. While mechanical propeller meters used to be the most economical choice for irrigation, that’s typically no longer the case. Many times, choosing a mechanical propeller meter is much like ordering your meal from the al la carte menu at a restaurant. If all you want is one taco and a glass of water, you will get a low-cost meal. But, add rice, beans, guacamole, and sour cream, and you will likely pay more ordering from the al la carte menu than purchasing a combination plate that includes all of the “options” you want. If you need anything other than mechanical rate and total, comparing the cost and benefits of mechanical technology to electromagnetic may be wise before making a purchase.

The Purpose Of Stream Gauging Instruments

By Richard Scott

Stream gauging measurements are acquired through permanent monitoring stations or portable equipment. The so called gauging tools used by water experts does not really evaluate the flow of the watercourse, since measuring the flow is somehow demanding. Hence, you need utilization of appropriate stream gauging instruments. Stream gauging measurements could be produced with mobile gear or permanent monitoring channels. The flow gauging tools employed by water specialists do not really assess the flow of the flow, because creating an immediate measurement of leak is tough. Rather they measure water speed or degree for a substitute and utilize a score curve to figure the true flow gauge dimension. Installing a flume or weir is a good illustration of the first sort of permanent watercourse measuring station. In this instance, the flow watercourse was altered to curtail the cross-sectional area into some known value that greatly assists with all the precision of the flow gauge dimensions. Using a flume or weir installed place watercourse measuring dimensions become considerably easier because you do not need to assess the cross-sectional area as a portion of their flow dimension. A more mid level watercourse measuring alternative presents itself if constant monitoring is needed in a region where a permanent channel cannot be installed. This sort of semi-permanent channel behaves as a permanent watercourse gauge channel at that time that it is used, but may be easily removed when the analysis is completed. In such scenarios, a continuous monitoring tool is temporarily installed to collect flow gauge data. When the devices flow gauge dimensions are listed, they may be added into the historical record. In this instance, the watercourse measuring dimensions can supply engineers with the information they have to keep the neighborhood community protected from flood scenarios. The flow measuring data may indicate how powerful engineers will need to design constructions, like bridges or levees, close to the river or watercourse to defy the anticipated flood level watercourse. These tools are connected to pulleys which convert the float amount within the stilling well into digital readings for flow gauge conversion. Submersible pressure detectors, such as the wl400 detector are a much more contemporary tool employed in flow gauge channel stilling wells. These tools utilize a flexible valve to gauge the water pressure and also convert it in a water level reading. For applications requiring constant watercourse measuring information of organic stations neither the present meter, the Doppler meter would be all perfect solutions. These kinds of watercourse measuring programs are generally made with water level for a substitute dimension. To utilize water amount for a flow measuring dimension a score curve is necessary. The smaller flow measuring stations may also be linked to telemetry systems. An extra way of measuring water amount for a substitute for flow gauge measurements would be to use radar or ultrasonic detectors. These detectors are perfect in flow measuring scenarios where electricity is not a problem and installing a submersible sensor might not be the optimal solution.
