The SQ-R sensor is a continuous measurement device for the contact-free determination of the water discharge of open or closed canals. It combines two sensors in one system. The first determines the water level by measuring the transit time of a radar signal, the second simultaneously measures the flow velo- city of the water surface by means of the Doppler frequency shift. Following each measurement, the sensor applies an advanced hydraulic model to compute the mean velocity, which in turn is used to calculate the water discharge.
Due to the contact-free measurement method the SQ-R can be installed on extension arms without costly structural measures in the water or sewage treatment canal. This also has the advantage that the sensor is located outside the danger area of floods and that it requires virtually no maintenance over many years.
