Water level measurement is crucial in hydrological work. Water level data plays a vital role in calculating and studying river erosion and sedimentation, channel regulation, port construction, river sand mining, and reservoir construction and management. Furthermore, water level is a key factor in water conservancy and hydropower projects, as it is the most important factor in ensuring the safe operation of dams and reservoirs. Water level is a crucial factor in the design, operation, and management of hydraulic structures, providing reliable parameters for their safe and rational use. It is crucial for the planning, design, construction, and operation of hydraulic structures.

At this time, under the action of the reset member 9, the reset blocks 8 and the connecting columns 7 on both sides move toward each other, thereby driving the pulling plates 64 on both sides to move toward each other and fit together. At this time, the protective belt 63 and the pulling plate 64 close the opening of the protective shell 2. At this time, the protective shell 2 and the switch component 6 can be used to protect the water level measuring instrument 3.
