vals across the stream. For each measurement, submerge
the impeller housing until it rests on the stream bed.
Keep the sensor vertical. Record each depth.
• Connect the sensor plug to the interface and take a flow
rate measurement in meters/second for each interval.
Take a separate data run for each measurement.
Estimating Total Water Output
• Calculate the approximate cross-sectional area of the
stream. Multiply each interval width by each depth you
measured to determine the area for each interval. Add
the areas for each interface together to object the
approximate total cross-sectional area of the stream.
• Examine the data to find the average flow rate for each
interface. Average the flow rates recorded for each of
the intervals to get an overall flow rate.
• Determine the total water output by multiplying the
average flow rate by the total cross-sectional area of the
stream.
