Streamflow Measurements Using Salt Dilution Techniques

Salt dilution is a proven method of measuring stream discharge that is widely used around the world but seldom within the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). This technique is useful at sites where mid-section, ADCP, flume, and volumetric measurement techniques cannot be effectively conducted due to high turbulence, high velocities, and inadequate cross sections.

Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) to measure streamflow

The use of acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) from a moving boat is now a commonly used method for measuring streamflow. The technology and methods for making ADCP-based discharge measurements are different from the technology and methods used to make traditional discharge measurements with mechanical meters.
