Stormwater retention basin
Level measurement in a stormwater retention basin
Process data
    Measuring task:
    
    Level measurement
        Measuring point:
    
    Basin
        Measuring range up to:
    
    0 … 10 m
        Medium:
    
    Rainwater
        Process temperature:
    
    0 ... +30 °C
        Process pressure:
    
    0 … 0 bar
        Special challenges:
    
    Fog, wind, solar radiation
Application
In case of heavy precipitation, excess rainwater is temporarily stored in open, artificial reservoirs. The water reservoir buffers the drainage and the water is pre-cleaned through natural settlement. Continuous level data are the basis for calculating the flow through the sewer system and thus protecting against flooding.
