Level & Flow Solutions for Hydroelectric Power
Hydropower is one of the world’s most efficient and sustainable sources of renewable energy. It generates electricity by capturing the kinetic energy of moving water—whether from rivers, reservoirs, or tidal systems—and converting it into mechanical and electrical power. Today, hydroelectric generation accounts for approximately 7% of total U.S. electricity and 16% of global energy production,. providing a stable, clean energy source for millions.
In hydroelectric facilities, accurate level and flow measurement play a critical role in optimizing performance and maintaining safety. Reliable instrumentation ensures consistent water control, efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
Magnetrol® level and flow instruments deliver long-term reliability in demanding conditions. Designed for precision and durability, these solutions help reduce downtime, extend equipment life, and maintain compliance with environmental and safety standards.

3. Dam seepage monitoring (flumes & weirs)
Dam seepage can be a serious problem over time. Many observations are taken into consideration in monitoring possible dam seepage issues including visual inspections, flow measurements, water property changes, sediment accumulation in the open channel flow stations just to name a few.
