HydroSurveyor Enables Rapid Reservoir Surveys
The ARC-Boat was developed by HR Wallingford and employs SonTek-proprietary Acoustic Doppler Profiler (ADP®) technology. The HydroSurveyor is a highly sophisticated system which includes 5-beam depth sounding, water velocity profiling and navigation capabilities. When mounted in the ARC boat, the HydroSurveyor scans the reservoir as it is guided across the water’s surface. Recorded data is then analyzed by HydroSurveyor software to produce accurate depth measurement in addition to bathymetry maps of the entire water body. With a small amount of post-processing in GIS or 3-D CAD, an accurate water volume can be determined.

But water needs change, and irrigation systems don’t always require a constant flow rate or constant pressure. Variable frequency drives (VFDs) are electric controllers that vary the speed of the pump, allowing the pump to respond smoothly and efficiently to fluctuations in demand.
