FM-1849-45 Advanced Hydrological Investigations

FM-1849-45 Advanced Hydrological Investigations  is a highly advanced educational and research-oriented laboratory system designed for comprehensive study of hydrology, groundwater flow, seepage behavior, rainfall simulation, river mechanics, and sediment transport phenomena. This sophisticated trainer provides engineering students, researchers, and laboratory professionals with a practical understanding of real-world hydraulic and environmental processes through hands-on experimentation.

Built with a strong focus on accuracy, durability, and practical learning, the system enables users to investigate groundwater movement after precipitation, study seepage through soil structures, and analyze river flow behavior under various environmental conditions. The trainer is especially suitable for universities, technical institutes, civil engineering laboratories, water resource engineering departments, and environmental research centers.

The FM-1849-45 features a closed-loop water circulation system consisting of a storage tank and pump arrangement, ensuring continuous and efficient operation during experiments. At the heart of the system is a sand-filled stainless steel experimental tank with adjustable inclination, allowing users to simulate different terrain slopes and hydrological conditions realistically.

One of the most important features of this trainer is its advanced rainfall simulation unit. The precipitation system includes multiple nozzles with timer-controlled operation, enabling accurate simulation of rainfall intensity, duration, and distribution. Through this setup, students can observe how precipitation affects groundwater recharge, soil saturation, runoff formation, and discharge over time.

The trainer also includes specially designed side chambers that allow controlled groundwater inflow and drainage. These chambers enable investigation of seepage flow patterns and groundwater movement under different hydraulic conditions. Two wells equipped with open seam tubes are incorporated into the setup for studying groundwater lowering and well influence on the groundwater table.

To simulate natural river behavior, the unit includes a small weir system that can generate river courses with variable water levels. Water supply and drainage can be independently controlled, providing maximum flexibility for creating a wide range of experimental scenarios. This allows users to investigate river dynamics, sediment transport, and flow interaction around obstacles.

The FM-1849-45 is also equipped with interchangeable obstacle models that help demonstrate how structures influence river flow and sediment movement. These practical experiments provide valuable insight into erosion processes, sediment deposition, and hydraulic engineering concepts.

For accurate monitoring and analysis, the system includes 21 tube manometers connected at the bottom of the experimental tank for groundwater level measurement. Multiple flow meters with different measuring ranges provide precise monitoring of water supply conditions. A measuring tank with integrated weir and force sensor enables accurate determination of sediment quantity and water levels during operation. All measured values are clearly displayed on the trainer, ensuring easy observation and analysis.
