  SonTek Water Velocity Measurement

Argonaut-SW Shallow Water System

Ideal for monitoring flows in small channels from 0.5 to 16 ft (0.3-5 m) deep, the Argonaut-SW offers advanced Doppler performance for sites previously thought impossible to measure. Typically mounted on the bottom of a channel, stream, or pipe, the SW measures water level and vertically-integrated velocity, making it ideal for sites with reversing or stratified flow conditions. An optional external LCD data display is also available.
