Development a wireless sensor windlass for flow measurement in natural bodies of water: preliminary study

Abstract

In México, sampling and flow measurement of natural water bodies, is a complex task due to the physical and health risk that exist for the people responsible to perform this activity. A first stage of investigation was the development of the flow measurement system called SA- 1, which is a teleoperated aquatic robot. Now was developed and implemented a wireless flowmeter sensor and, of this form, obtain readings requested for the user. In this paper, is described a preliminary study about the different factors to consider for the development of the flowmeter sensor above mentioned.
