Real-time flow meter on an Arkansas irrigation well
Real-time flow meter on an Arkansas irrigation wellReal-time flow meter installed on a center-pivot irrigation well in Mississippi County, Arkansas as part of a cooperative project conducted between USGS and the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission. The meter will measure water use for irrigation, providing data which will help improve water-use information in other locations as well.
