Instruments and Applications for Hydrology
Instructional Seminar

October 24-26, 2005
Sunset Station Hotel and Casino
Henderson, Nevada, USA

Do you need a good introduction to making flow measurements using hydroacoustics techniques? If so, attend SonTek's "Instruments and Applications for Hydrology" training course. This 2½-day course has been constantly evolving over the past several years, and has become a favorite for our customers. To date, literally hundreds of our valued customers have attended to learn, as well as to share, practical knowledge with other attendees.

The advantage of this seminar is its practical premise of "learn by example”. Lectures are straight-forward open-discussions and are lead by veteran SonTek/YSI hydrologists and engineering staff with years of experience and who have literally made thousands of discharge measurements around the world for the past two-decades. In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to share their own experiences and trade measurement tips and knowledge with others. In the evening, one-on-one time will be provided in order to meet individually with SonTek staff at your request. So bring your data, laptop computer, ideas, and knowledge and be a part of this highly-valued instructional event.

This is a comprehensive instructional course and will cover a wide range of topics related to SonTek/YSI instruments used everyday around the world for flow, velocity, and level monitoring. Lectures will cover:

  • Acoustic Doppler theory
  • Basic river hydraulics related to hydro-acoustic instruments
  • Velocity-indexing procedures
  • Instrument deployment techniques, programming, and maintenance procedures
  • Software instruction (RiverSurveyor Moving-Boat and Stationary; ViewArgonaut; SonUtils; and FlowTracker)
  • Quality data analysis (techniques for determining good and bad field data).

In addition, application topics will include discussions on all aspects of RiverSurveyor Discharge Measurements, FlowTracker Discharge Measurements, and flow monitoring using the Argonaut SL/SW/XR complete flow solution.

The training course will be held on October 24th – 26th, 2005 in Henderson, Nevada at the Sunset Station Hotel and Casino. If you’re feeling really adventurous, also plan on including a few days of hiking and sightseeing at some of the nations best National Parks (Grand Canyon, Zion Canyon, Red Rocks Canyon, Valley of Fire) located only a few short hours from the training site. To register for this course and/or receive additional information including a complete course agenda, please contact our training course coordinator Lora Ellis at (858) 546-8327 (ext. 132) or email: lora@sontek.com.

We hope to see you there!!!!
