Abstract

The invention relates to a method of detecting a buildup of silt (32) in a pipe or open channel (14) of a fluid flow network. The pipe or open channel has a system with at least one set of velocity sensors (V1.. V8) to measure flow velocities at predetermined horizontal levels (50... 58). The method includes the steps of computing the flow using the measured flow velocities and cross sectional areas for each flow layer and summing the flows to provide a total flow monitoring the measured flow velocities and storing the flow velocities to detect any ongoing reduction in the flow velocity of at least the lowermost velocity sensor (V1) to provide an indication of a buildup of silt in the pipe or open channel.
