Water by the Volume

Synopsis
A case study of water flow in the River Severn: the Severn Trent Water Authority uses a mathematical model to forecast future conditions of the river system. Water levels must be monitored in order to provide information for the model, which can then be used to derive the volume of water stored in reservoirs, or the volume flow of a river.

Notes
NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
