With several miles of pipe, the diameters vary from 2 to 4 inches. The groundskeeper also indicated they want to monitor the flow continuously for 10 minutes at each point of measurement. They have a budget of less than $10,000. Which flowmeter and process would be ideal for this application?<\/p>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> Install spring-loaded flowmeters at each point around the course. Take readings every 15 seconds and record them in a notebook.<\/p>\n<p><strong>B:<\/strong> \u00a0Install tee-fittings with paddle wheel sensors at each monitor point, and carry a battery powered meter around the course. Take readings every 15 seconds and record in a notebook.<\/p>\n<p><strong>C:<\/strong> \u00a0Use a Handheld Doppler Flowmeter and take readings every 15 seconds and record them in a
