Water Flow Measurement Course
Gain mastery in measuring water flows for practical engineering applications. Learn to use ADCPs and current meters, perform data quality checks, calculate discharges, and plan secure, effective harbour and channel surveys that inform dredging, navigation safety, and infrastructure planning. This training ensures reliable tidal assessments and decision-making support.

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 hydrodynamic principles, choose and set up ADCPs and current meters, plan survey lines, and handle safe operations. Then analyse data, compute discharge rates, assess uncertainties, and produce straightforward reports for navigation, dredging, and tidal flow evaluations.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design flow surveys: Plan brief, top-notch ADCP and mooring setups.
- Process ADCP data: Cleanse, quality-check, and combine velocity profiles into discharge.
- Select instruments: Pair meters and sensors to harbour depths, tides, and seabed roughness.
- Analyse harbour hydraulics: Understand tidal flows, velocity shear, and sediment effects.
- Report results: Provide clear tables, graphs, uncertainty estimates, and advice.
