Hey all, I am a student at MIT who is engaged in a research project this summer. I will be travelling to South Africa (Lesotho in particular) to install a flow monitoring system so that we can analyze the Senqu River and determine whether or not it has enough flow to make a small-scale hydro power station viable. I would like to get at least one year's worth of flow data so that we can account for seasonal variances, but there does not seem to be equpiment that can do monitoring for the long term without human intervention. I am not going to be able to go and measure section velocity to calculate flow every six weeks (As does the USGS), so I was wondering if there was a more feasible solution to this measuring problem. Thanks for any help,
