Applications of RiverCAT in the Field Measurement of Reservoirs

Abstract:

SonTek’s Riversurveyor Catamaran (the RiverCAT) is a fully integrated river discharge measurement system. In this paper, the RiverCAT is applied to measure the topography under water in a middle industry water supply reservoir. The whole measurement process is introduced. Area of each cross-section is calculated with complex trapezoidal quadratic formula, and the capacity of the reservoir is computed with complex prismaid quadratic formula. The relationship between capacity and water level is researched by regression analysis method.
