About the
FLOW GAUGE

Obscape’s Flow Gauge provides real-time water flow measurements using Doppler shift radar technology. Mounted above the water surface, it offers easy deployment and minimal maintenance. Designed for both natural and engineered water systems, the Flow Gauge is ideal for monitoring river flow, outfall discharge, and channel runoff. Accurate flow velocity measurements are essential for environmental monitoring, discharge calculations, riverbed protection, and sediment transport studies. By utilising pulse wave radar, the Flow Gauge measures surface flow velocity without direct water contact, eliminating biofouling and reducing maintenance. Its non-contact design also prevents damage from sediments, floating debris, or driftwood, ensuring high reliability, especially in flood conditions.

The Obscape Data Portal is free to use with any Obscape device you purchase, giving you lifetime access at no extra cost – YOUR DEVICE, YOUR DATA. Find out more about the Obscape Data Portal HERE.

What type of water bodies can the Flow Gauge monitor?

The Flow Gauge is designed for rivers, canals, drainage systems, outfall discharge points, and open channels, making it suitable for both natural and engineered water systems.

How does the Flow Gauge measure water flow without direct contact?

It uses Doppler shift radar technology to measure surface flow velocity from an overhead position, eliminating the risk of biofouling or damage from debris.

Does the Flow Gauge require frequent maintenance?

No, its non-contact design minimizes maintenance by avoiding direct exposure to water, reducing wear from sediments, driftwood, or floating debris.

How accurate are the flow velocity measurements?

The Flow Gauge provides high-precision velocity and direction data, making it suitable for environmental monitoring, flood management, and hydrological studies.

Can the Flow Gauge operate in extreme weather conditions?

Yes, it is built for all-weather operation, ensuring reliable performance during floods, storms, and varying water levels.
