Advanced Hydrology Study System

Advanced Hydrology Study System
Description of Advanced Hydrology Study System for Science Lab Equipment Laboratory Instruments Manufacturers, Engineering Lab Equipments Manufacturers

The unit comprises a sand tank, made of stainless steel, measuring 2 meters by 1 meter. Water may be input to the sand tank from spray nozzles located above the tank (simulating rainfall), from an inlet tank simulating a river flow or from two french drains buried in the sand at either end of the tank. The water is output either from an outlet tank and flow measurement system located at the end of the main sand tank, from one or both of the two wells located in the tank, or one or both of the French drains.
A large plastic sump tank is located under the sand tank.
Capabilities of Advanced Hydrology Study System
Determination of run-off hydrographs from model catchments including multiple storms, moving storms, effect of reservoir storage and land drains
Construction of draw-down curves for one or two well systems in a sand bed
Hydraulic gradients in ground water flow .Investigation of model stream flow in alluvial material
Formation of river features and development over time
Sediment transport, bed load motion, scour and erosion
