Run-off measuring system

The system consists of the following structural units:

• Microcomputer-aided sampler: Representative sampling in dependence on meteorological and hydrological factors

• Meteorological measuring unit: Determination of factors that influence the soil (rain, wind speed and wind direction, air humidity and temperature, radiation, surface moisture)

• Soil hydrological measuring unit: Determination of factors that influence the soil water balance (soil moisture, soil tension, infiltration, evaporation, soil temperature)

The following functions are performed: 

• Recording of the process-affecting meteorological and hydrological parameters
• Recording of the beginning and intensity of surface drain Automatic interval sampling of drain and sediment for subsequent analysis with graded sampling frequency according to drain intensity and expected sediment concentration
• With drain quantity divider, sampling is possible both on test plots and on catchment areas up to 3 hectares in size.
