Description

The FlowTracker2 is commonly used by AEP to measure wading discharge. This Standard Operation Procedure (SOP) document describes procedures for wading discharge measurements using SonTek’s FlowTracker and FlowTracker2 acoustic Doppler velocimeters and under-ice measurements. The original Water Survey of Canada FlowTracker SOP has been adapted to provide up to date procedures for the newer measurement tool, FlowTracker2, to meet AEP’s operational needs.

Description

Acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) are used for measuring river discharge from moving boats. Specialized software now allow these instruments to be deployed to measure discharge using the mid-section method. Minor revisions were made to the original Water Survey of Canada Standard Operation Procedure to meet AEP’s operational needs.
