Dischargeapp Phone Software

The DischargeApp is a low-cost, user-friendly smartphone

application which provides fast and accurate discharge

measurements in rivers and open channels. It is only needed

to have four ground control points on the field, no expensive

equipment is left at the place. Additionally, the cross-section

of the water body needs to be measured. Depending on the

size and complexity of the channel, the initial site setup may

take between 15 minutes and 1 hour, but his has to be done

only once.

Measuring the discharge on a dedicated DischargeApp site

takes less than a minute. The computation occurs locally on

the smartphone, hence the DischargeApp can be used to

measure in regions without network coverage. Once the

measurement is done, data transmission to the cloud is possible

immediately or later, as soon as internet is available. This

allows error-free data transmission and storage. The measurements

can be accessed via the integrated DischargeDataHub

platform. On this platform measurement data, sites, users and

user permissions can be managed. Access to the data is secure

and login protected
