Abstract
We present a new method for measuring water flow through a free surface of a tunnel. The objetive of the work Is to fulfill the requirements of a new tunnel construction in a granitic rock mass. This tunnelIs excavated for a full scale hydro-therma-mechanical experiment over a long time, the method and materials thus resulting are cheap, easy to use, and proved to be reliable. Independent measurement showed it to be comparable to other more expensive and shophisticated methods
