Water Flow Measurement Course
Build expertise in measuring water flows for practical engineering tasks. Learn to use ADCPs and current meters, perform data quality checks, calculate discharges, and plan safe, effective harbour and channel surveys that inform dredging, navigation safety, and infrastructure planning. This course equips you with reliable methods for accurate tidal assessments and decision-making.
