The RB-Boat and ADCP combination has drasti-cally reduced discharge measurement time and labor all over the world. This rugged, stable, corrosion-resistant tethered boat makes safe, easy measurements of discharge with ADCPs. Rela-tively slow and fast-fowing water can be handled with ease, and available radio communications options complete the total discharge monitoring package.

The trimaran can work in rivers with a water flow speed of 4 m/s. The design of three buoyant bodies enables the hull equipped with ADCP to adapt to the water flow and maintain direction, and keep the hull attitude stable in flowing river water to provide a stable working platform for the ADCP to work. Made of unbreakable polyethylene, the Riverboat is strong and robust to cope with the worst deployment conditions. The stan-dard boat fts an 8" Rio Grande ADCP and is confgured for use with single-channel spread spectrum radio modems.
