Precision Hydrometry: Level & Flow

Drone-based water-level measurement and non-contact surface-flow analysis for dynamic rivers and streams.

Precision Hydrometry: Level & Flow

The technical edge

How it works

High-resolution elevation control provides water-level measurement to ±2 mm, while drone video supports surface-flow velocity analysis.

Strategic advantage

Why it changes the decision

Measures hydrological behavior without installing fixed equipment or placing personnel in moving water.
