Micro River Simulator Trainer Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-CELE-14181
Overview
The Rainfall Runoff Simulator is an
advanced, floor-standing apparatus designed to demonstrate key physical
processes in hydrology and fluvial geomorphology. It provides a
comprehensive, hands-on understanding of rainfall–runoff relationships,
groundwater abstraction, sediment transport, and river formation processes.
The system enables detailed study of rainfall
hydrographs, catchment permeability, groundwater flow, and sediment
dynamics, allowing students and researchers to observe and measure the
interaction between surface and subsurface hydrological processes.
Constructed with stainless steel and
corrosion-resistant components, the simulator produces realistic,
repeatable results within a laboratory environment and requires no special
external services beyond standard utilities.
A data acquisition (DAQ) interface can
optionally be integrated, allowing digital recording, processing, and
visualization of all measured parameters.
A detailed Operation & Maintenance
Manual is provided with the unit.
