The Irrigation Training and Research Center (ITRC) is currently testing several non-contact volumetric flow meter models under their technical services contracts with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR). In April 2020, a Sommer RQ-30A non-contact flow meter was installed at Banta Carbona Irrigation Districts (BCID) Main Canal approximately 180 ft downstream of the discharge from Pumping Plant 1. The meter was mounted at midspan along a footbridge that crosses the throat of an ITRC designed subcritical contraction structure (see Figure 1). An existing SonTek Acoustic Doppler Flow Meter (ADFM) was installed …
