Pocket Gauger acts as a counter / timer and logger for collecting current-meter gaugings. Discharge measurements are computed on the river-bank and all the data safely stored for further analysis or archiving.
The system has been specifically designed to operate on the ruggedised Juniper Archer PDA which was supplied with both orders as part of an integrated field data collection system.
After a rigorous tendering competition, the Environment Agency selected the Pocket Gauger-Archer combination as the best value solution to meet their needs. The EA have ordered more than 200 systems for use in seven out of their eight operating regions. The Scottish Environmental Agency (SEPA) ordered the system after a similar evaluation trial, ordering 40 systems for all three of its operating regions.
