HM 165 Studies in hydrology

GUNT HM 165

Studies in Hydrology unit is designed for investigating precipitation-discharge relationships. soil storage capacity, seepage flows, and groundwater movements. The system features a closed water circuit with an inclinable stainless steel experiment tank, equipped with 19 measurement points for groundwater level detection. The tank includes two wells with open seam tubes, a transparent splash guard, and screens for chamber separation. The adjustable precipitation device has 8 nozzles, allowing for precise water distribution. Various instruments, including tube manometers, a flow meter, and a measuring weir, provide comprehensive hydrological data.
