Water Flow Measurement Course
Gain mastery in measuring water flow for practical engineering tasks. Learn to use ADCPs and current meters, perform data checks and quality control, calculate discharges, and plan secure, effective harbour and channel surveys that aid dredging, navigation safety, and infrastructure planning. This training builds reliable skills for real-world applications in Uganda's waterways and ports.

What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to plan and carry out precise harbour and channel flow surveys. Gain knowledge of water flow principles, choose and set up ADCPs and current meters, plan survey paths, and handle operations safely. Then analyse data, compute flow rates, assess uncertainties, and produce straightforward reports for navigation, dredging, and tidal flow evaluations.
Elevify advantages
