When wading a river to make discharge measurements, it is necessary to make a series of point measurements at precise locations across the river. Any of the SonTek Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) line of instruments can do this, with our Argonaut-ADV and FlowTracker Handheld ADV systems providing the simplest and lowest-cost solution.
FlowTracker mounted on top-setting wading rod. The FlowTracker Handheld ADV uses the ADV technology in a compact, hand-held package to make accurate, high-precision water velocity measurements in natural streams, weirs/flumes, and open channels related to irrigation, stormwater, water treatment, and mining. Designed with the field user in mind, the FlowTracker easily attaches to top-setting wading rods and features an automatic discharge computation program that is based on USGS/ISO methods.
