What is Dilution Technique of Stream Flow Measurement?

The Dilution Method involves injecting (inserting) a known amount of salt into a stream. This process is technically known as slug injection. The salt acts as a tracer to measure the discharge. The concentration of dissolved salt is measured downstream at a point where it has fully mixed with the stream water.

Define Length of Reach

The length of the reach between the dosing section and sampling section should be adequate to have complete mixing of the tracer with the flow. This length depends upon the geometric dimensions of the channel cross-section, discharge and turbulence levels.
