[0040] Example 1:
[0041] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this utility model aims to solve the problem of monitoring low water flow in mountainous areas, and designs a low water flow measurement flume from the perspective of hydrological technology.
[0042] A low-water flume is an artificial flume with specific dimensions and a regular shape, used to control low-water flow conditions in hydrological monitoring and to measure low-water flow within a specific range. It primarily addresses the challenge of monitoring low-water flow under special conditions such as river bifurcation, shallow water depth, and chaotic flow direction. The preset flow rate is generally measured using a current meter wading through the water, or other methods. It is mainly suitable for mountain rivers with moderate catchment areas, non-wandering riverbeds, a certain drop in elevation, minimal impact from water-related projects, and no special requirements for river management. It is generally recommended for use in catchment areas below 500 km², and the maximum should not exceed 1000 km². The minimum flow rate should be determined based on the ability to measure using a current meter; if this is not possible, it is recommended to add a triangular weir or other methods for flow measurement.

[0051] The tooth wall 6 is a part embedded in the riverbed to prevent water flow from scouring the low water measuring flume and causing seepage, and is generally built along the four sides of the measuring flume and connected with the bottom plate 5 at the top.
[0052] The energy dissipation body 7 is a structure for realizing the water recession and energy dissipation effect, and is poured together with the bottom plate 5, and is generally in the form of steps 701, rivet type 703, etc., and can be simplified as a slope type 702 when the downstream anti-scouring requirement is not high. The energy dissipation body 7 of the rivet type 703 is embedded with a rivet 7031.
[0053] The depth measuring gauge 8 is arranged at the flow monitoring section of the stable measuring section 2, and the zero height is consistent with the surface of the bottom plate 5, and is used for monitoring the measuring water depth, and the measured reading is the water depth, and the marking precision is generally 1cm or 5mm, and is determined by the engineering design.
[0054] The operation platform 9 is located on the bottom plate 5 outside the monitoring section, and the specification is generally not less than 1.5m*1.5m, and the height is generally 5-10cm.
