Abstract

New demands on surface-water resources from an increasing world population and rising global living standards are requiring water managers to improve river flow measurements. Water managers are requiring flow instrumentation to measure those resources more accurately, in more detail and at lesser cost. Fortunately, new and emerging developments in flow instrumentation are significantly improving our capabilities to measure surface-water discharge and flow dynamics of rivers.
