Abstract:
1. A micromonitoring apparatus for measuring the flow of wastewater within a sewer system, comprising: a support that is shaped for removable placement in a wastewater passageway of the sewer system; a weir connected to said support and that includes a central portion defining a central height that lies generally along a vertical centerline of the wastewater passageway, taken in a direction parallel to the flow of wastewater through the wastewater passageway, and lateral portions that lie lateral to said central portion and that are higher than the central height, said weir preventing wastewater that lies below the central height from passing downstream in the wastewater passageway; a ramp of the weir having an upstream edge that conforms to a lower interior portion of the wastewater passageway, said ramp extending downstream from said upstream edge and upward to said central portion of said weir and shaped to direct at least portions of the flow of wastewater and debris therein toward and over said central portion of said weir; and a sensing probe connected to said apparatus and positioned upstream of said weir.
