How durable is the probe computer?
The flow probe computer is self-contained and sealed in a water and shock resistant housing. Additionally, the computer is designed to float in water.
|
What kind of battery does this flow probe take?
The Global Water Flow Probe's internal lithium battery is not replacable. With normal use, it should last approximately 5 years.
|
Does the probe have any energy-saving features?
After 5 minutes without user input or propeller motion, the probe will enter a low power mode to conserve battery life.
|
Will the computer calculate the flow in ft3/s or m3/s?
No, the flow probe only calculates average, minimum and maximum velocity. The user can manually determine flow rate by multiplying the area of the cross-section of water by the average velocity.

The Water Withdrawal Assessment Tool (WWAT), developed by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, is an important tool for predicting the impacts of withdrawing water to streams. It is used throughout the state by environmental organizations concerned with stream health for a variety of reasons. The Michigan chapter of Trout Unlimited is one example of an organization that uses the WWAT in its work to help the state’s coldwater fisheries and watersheds. But since the assessment tool provides only an estimate of what base flows are, it’s important for volunteers with the organization to test and verify actual measurements from the field before making management decisions.
Read MoreStanding in the middle of a waist-high stream, leaning against a steady current is the last place where one wants to be sorting out cumbersome equipment to take water velocity measurements. The Global Water Flow Probe eliminates any in-stream complications with an integrated design to keep researchers measuring with ease. Global Water was founded on a water velocity meter. Creator John Dickerman wanted to provide an all-in-one measuring system. Â The latest result is a device users can simply dip it in the water and record velocity readings. The instrument has no wires, headphones or controller boxes to connect. Â There is just a probe at the bottom and a computer mounted on top.
Read MoreNASA's Curiosity rover has found pebbles that appear to have been rounded by streamflow, according to a release from University of California Davis. Experts say the finding represents the first on-site evidence of sustained flowing water on Mars. The rounded pebbles discovered are only known to form when transported through water over long distances. Their discovery supports theories that the red planet could once have supported life. The smooth rocks were found between the north rim of the planet’s Gale Crater and the base of Mount Sharp, a mountain inside the crater. Researchers say they chose Gale Crater for study because there was a sediment deposit there that typically requires water to form.
