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.

Pretty much, it really is a big deal to the environment. For others, they might do some measurement for the purpose of research. Future researches will use it as their baseline or reference for their study. Furthermore, the community can also gain some benefits out of this. For example, when they know the levels of flooding, they will make a preparation for safety when that flood happens on their property. It can also be used as a way to identify the potential problems and make solutions for that.

Furthermore, measuring those streams are not being done by using your own bare hands. You really need some equipment or tools for it. Below are the tools that you may need and they can be bought at Hoskin Scientific also.

FlowTracker2. This device is much modernized version of FlowTracker. It will give you more convenience in collecting some data. You can handle this easily in navigating. Furthermore, its features consists on viewing on-screen sensor, beam checks, getting the plots of parameters and many more. This can really be reliable especially when you look for 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.

It might be few in this list but there are still some you could find outside. It might be in different sizes, contains different features and more. Regardless of that, it certainly helps the environment.
