Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The relative method of measuring the flow rates of water through a turbine is realized by simple means and provides a sufficient accuracy for the needs of hydrostation operation.

  2. 2.

    Further works of design organizations, operating services, and manufacturing plants is necessary for increasing the reliability of the entire flow-rate measuring system.

  3. 3.

    The operating staffs of hydrostations need to be materially encouraged to use the discharge efficiently for producing electricity.
