Measuring Water Depth
Translation details
Model:mistral-large-2512.Translated text
Section titled “Translated text”To measure the depth of water in streams, brooks, and small ponds, a straight stick of length 2 metres will suffice. We immerse it at the desired spot until the bottom is felt. The mark left by the water on the stick will allow us to measure the depth.
When measuring depths greater than 2 metres, a string weighted with, for example, a stone must be used. On this string, we mark measurements in metres with knots (a knot every 50 centimetres). The weighted and marked string is immersed until the moment we feel and see that it is no longer taut (it does not hang vertically). It is then sufficient to read the measurement on the string to obtain the exact depth of the water.
