Project Summary |
|
Application Type: Measuring stage and discharge with an instrumented Parshall flume Location: Carbon Canal between Helper and Price, UT Products Used: COM310 CR510 Contracting Agencies: US Bureau of Reclamation Measured Parameters: Water level (with a shaft encoder, float, and pulley) Consultants / Integrators: Electronic Data Solutions |
The USBR has a water level system on a ten ft. Parshall flume. The flume resides on the Carbon Canal between Helper and Price, UT. The system consists of a potentiometer based float/pulley assembly that measures stage, our CR510 datalogger, and a cellular phone link using a Campbell Scientific COM310 voice synthesis phone modem. Water users can call the site and hear a voice telling them the water level and discharge. A marine deep cycle battery that is charged by a 20 Watt solar panel powers the system.
