The Severn and flume

Percy is pointing to a hydrology flume on the River Severn

Forced through a hydrology flume here, the Severn is only about a metre wide. The flume forms part of the network of hydrology stations in the upper Severn catchment area.

There are several flumes along the Severn. Each one measures the flow rate of the Severn.
