The discharge measurement is performed by using the well-established tracer-dilution method and is especially suitable for high volumes of water. The system can be deployed in turbulent rivers, creeks or waters for which data regarding the cross-section profile are not available or unknown. It is used a fluorescent material as tracer. After insertion of a known amount of tracer material two optical fluorescence probes automatically determine the discharge. This way high plausibility and accurate results can be guaranteed.
