Construction & Design Details
The apparatus features a gravel-filled tank constructed from stove-enameled mild steel and mounted on a robust steel frame. Water is supplied to overhead spray nozzles through a flow meter, solenoid valve, and control valve to regulate rainfall intensity. Runoff exits the tank through an outlet and enters a traversing collecting vessel driven by a motorized mechanism. Each compartment collects runoff for a predefined time interval, producing a direct histogram representation of the hydrograph.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is the main purpose of FluidoSurge-X 302?
It is used to study rainfall–runoff relationships and flood hydrograph formation.
Q2. How is rainfall simulated in the apparatus?
Rainfall is simulated using two overhead spray nozzles supplied through a controlled water circuit.
Q3. How is runoff measured over time?
Runoff is collected in a traversing vessel with 17 compartments, each representing a time interval.
Q4. Can different catchment conditions be simulated?
Yes. Accessories allow simulation of impermeable catchments, reservoir storage, and land drainage.
Q5. Is the apparatus suitable for classroom demonstrations?
Yes. The direct visual display of runoff hydrographs makes it suitable for both laboratory experiments and demonstrations.
