The utility model belongs to the technical field of
hydraulic engineering, and particularly relates to a
water level detection device for
hydraulic engineering, which comprises a grip, a bubble level arranged at the upper end of the grip, a connecting cylinder arranged on the side surface of the grip, a
lantern ring arranged at one end, far away from the grip, of the connecting cylinder, a depth measuring rod slidably inserted into the inner side of the
lantern ring, and a spring arranged on the inner side of the connecting cylinder. A pressing block is arranged on the side, away from the grip, of the spring and slidably connected with the connecting cylinder, and the connecting cylinder is provided with a sliding groove on the lower side of the spring. The
handle is held by a hand, the depth measuring rod is inserted from the inner side of the
lantern ring, the lower end of the depth measuring rod extends into the water bottom, the bubble level is made to be vertically upward, the bubble level is observed, and when bubbles in the bubble level are located at the center of the upper side, the bubble level is in a horizontal state, namely, the depth measuring rod is in a horizontal state. Therefore, the problems that the sounding rod is not perpendicular to the horizontal plane and
water level measurement data have errors due to visual errors, misoperation and the like are effectively avoided.
