Discharge - dipping rod according to Jens

Parameter to be measured:

discharge

Method:

depth-integrated velocity measurement

Equipment:

dipping rod, look-up table, calculator

Advantages:

• no batteries, no electronics - completely resisitent to nuclear elecromagnetic pulses

Disadvantages:

• insensitive to low velocities (this model: < 10 cm/s)
• restricted immersion depth (this model: 60 cm)

What to watch out for:

• weeds
• collectors of ancient hydrometric devices

Price:

Approximate price (in € or US$) with year and country of purchase
