| Abstract: | Discharge measurement by means of injection of a NaCl-solution and integration of the electrical conductivity as a function of time is a traditional and well-documented method for use in turbulent streams. The ease of the chemical measurements permits results to be calculated in the field. This work has shown that dry fine-grained salt may substitute the salt solution. Correction factors for water temperature and background conductivity are derived from experiments. A simple procedure for calculation of the discharge is described. |
