Hydrometry
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006343
The science of measuring the properties of moving water, focusing on its flow, volume, and level. It involves the systematic collection of data on rivers, streams, lakes, and groundwater to understand their behavior and characteristics. Measurements are made using instruments like current meters, acoustic Doppler current profilers, and weirs, with flow rates expressed in units such as cubic meters per second or cubic feet per second.
