Experts Discuss the Future of Flow Sensor Technology

At ILM's Water, Wastewater and Environmental Monitoring (WWEM) event, Alastair MacKinnon of Pulsar Measurements, Alex Keys of Augvald and Matt Westgate of VEGA discuss the state of the art in flow monitors. After their talks, the speakers fielded questions from the audience and the moderator, Oliver Grievson, on future-proofing, battery technology and the general state of flow monitoring in the UK.
