The invention relates to a deposition and
water level monitor and an application method thereof and belongs to the technical field of
underwater deposition automatic monitoring in the water conservancy industry. According to the technical scheme, the deposition and
water level monitor comprises a monitoring host (6) and a deposition and
water level sensor (8), the deposition and water
level sensor is in a strip shape, and a plurality of electrodes (7) are distributed in the length direction. The strip-shaped deposition and water
level sensor is vertically and downwards arranged in the length direction, and the
capacitance value of each
electrode is measured; the deposition thickness is obtained in real time according to different
capacitance values of all the electrodes and intervals between every two electrodes. By means of the deposition and water level monitor and the application method thereof, the water level and
decomposition can be monitored at the same time, water surface and water bottom can be monitored at the same time, the
decomposition thickness and the water level height can be monitored for a long time without manual intervention, then deposition rules of
sludge and water level change situations are analyzed, and storage capacity or
water flow is measured. The deposition and water level monitor and the application method thereof are high in accuracy, high in real-time performance, easy to arrange and small in later-period maintenance amount.
