What is the radar water level meter? What is it for?

Radar water level meter is a non-contact precision water level measuring instrument. The application of this instrument makes the hydrological test transition from the traditional full-time manual observation mode to the modern hydrological digital mode, which improves the efficiency.

The radar water level meter is suitable for rivers where it is inconvenient or impossible to install floats or pressure water level meters, and also for mountainous rivers. It has the advantages of strong water level tracking ability, simple maintenance, relatively low post maintenance cost, accurate measurement, high resolution and fast transmission rate.

The application of radar water level meter provides a basis for establishing a new mode of water level monitoring and management mainly based on patrol and supplemented by grid-based patrol area, and creates favorable conditions for hydrological stations to realize the operation and management mode of "manned and unmanned" as soon as possible. Since the comparison year is a normal year, the water level does not change much, so the adaptability of the radar water level meter to the conditions cannot be fully tested. When the sudden change of river potential at the cross section caused by super standard flood and water level rise, more data should be collected to further verify the performance index of the radar water level meter, and to verify and improve it.
