) measures open channel flow in sanitary sewers, storm

sewers, combined 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)
