		<description><![CDATA[One method to measure flow Q for small and medium-size streams is through the use of a slotted Weir.
Methods for Measuring Your Stream Flow.

Stream Flow x Head Pressure = Power

Stream levels will change through the seasons, so it is important to measure FLOW at various times of the year. We will need these varied flow measures to create an FDC or flow Duration curve, more on the FDC in a later post.

By measuring the rate of travel for a floating object traveling down the main flow of a stream and then multiplying by the average cross-sectional area. One can determine the average volume flow rate or Q directly.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you need to measure water flow rate "Q" using a partially filled horizontal pipe use the "California Pipe Method"
 
This method of Hydropower site flow measurement for Q. given in this post is derived from a technique often used to measure water flow rates in pipes for agricultural purposes such as irrigation. Hence the 'California Pipe Method' name. As you see, we're back to our Blueberry ranch again, I digress...
