Best New Product Award for
Argonaut-SW Acoustic Doppler Flowmeter
 San Diego, California,
January 14, 2004 – SonTek/YSI is the winner of the New Product
Contest in the Agriculture category for its Argonaut-SW Acoustic Doppler
Flowmeter. The award was presented by The Irrigation Association at the December
2003
International Irrigation Show in San Diego.
The Argonaut-SW is a self-contained, highly-compact unit
used for measuring water flow, velocity, and level. Typically used in
canals, pipes, and natural streams, the SW is designed to account for velocity
variations within the channel to produce the most accurate flow calculation
possible.
Support for the development of the Argonaut-SW was provided in part by the
California Polytechnic University's Irrigation Training
and Research Center (ITRC), working under a technical services agreement with
the California Energy Commission (CEC) through CEC's Public
Interest Energy Research (PIER) End Use Agricultural Sector Program.
