Flow Regulation for Toshka Project

July, 2002 - The Toshka Project in southern Egypt (near its border with Sudan) seeks to relieve population congestion by reclaiming land lost to the desert. The project plans to take water from the Nile to communities in the desert by means of a main canal with a number of sub-canals and branches.

SonTek/YSI has provided the Toshka Project with four Argonaut-SLs to continuously record and display flow and level data for day-to-day operation of the canals. Data will also be logged and used as a historical record for a mathematical model that will give optimal set points for canal water level.

The Argonaut-SLs ease of installation and low maintenance made it the better choice over time-of-flight systems.
