SNOW MELT ANALYZER SMA-2

ANALYSING THE SNOWMELT AND ASCERTAINING THE WATER RUN-OFF

The Snow Melt Analyser (SMA-2) constitutes the ideal measuring solution for the analysis of snowmelt. With its help, melting processes in the snow can be detected and the water run-off can be ascertained and used for flood forecasts or for water management.

Description

FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES
