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.

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.
