Flow rate is the rate
of which a body of water moves at a given point. When
flow rate is measured in rivers or streams it is normally measured in cubic
meters per second. Flow rate is very
important. The tool you are supposed to use to take the flow rate of a moving
body of water is called a flow rate sensor.
That is the tool we used to take the flow
rate. When we used it we hooked it up to a thing called a palm pilot .The
palm pilot has a screen and it shows us the data. We take the flow
rate for about 1 minute. The palm pilot shows us the data, when it goes
up and down.As seen in the picture below.
