Introduction
The ADS ® FlowShark ® long-term flow monitor measures open
channel flow in sanitary sewers, storm sewers, and other
environments to assist municipalities and other industry in
addressing the following issues:
 Planning sewer systems (sizing and rehabilitation)
 Reducing infiltration and inflow (I/I)
 Monitoring combined sewer overflows (CSOs)
 Detecting and monitoring surcharges
 Managing inner-agency billing
 Monitoring sewage handling facilities (wastewater treatment
plants and pump stations)
The battery- or externally-powered, microprocessor-based
FlowShark monitor displays exceptional accuracy and reliability in
measuring flow depth and velocity to determine flow rate (quantity)
in sewer lines. This flow data is the essential element required to
successfully perform investigative, analytical, and reporting
activities. The FlowShark also supports dual monitoring points,
water quality sampling, event notification, rain measurement, and
SCADA applications.
