<br />The results of the photogrammetric investigations showed that the deler-
<br />mina.ion of the surface of the water meets. the hydrological demands, especially if
<br />the relative change of the water surface level is of interest. The precision of the
<br />measurements of the bank lines depends on the interpretation and definition of the
<br />water boundaries Sometimes it was bard to define the boundary between water and
<br />lIIui1>lCned Mones. Furthermore. these difficulties were increased at covered and
<br />underexpost:d places of the model area. In future projects, the coloring of the waler
<br />or .he use of infrared films could facilitate the measurements of the bank lines in the
<br />stereo pairs.

<br />3.3. Sail-dilution method
<br />The sall-dilulion melhod is the best applicahle hydromelric melhod to deter-
<br />mine the discharge and the mean velocity of IUrbulenl uniform now in mountain
<br />rivers. h is based on lhe injeclion of a precisely known sale solulion quantity, and on
<br />the registration of the conductivilY graph.
<br />The most importanl parameter of solute transpon. the dispersion coefficient, is
<br />obtained through this method. This parameter is of increasing importance fur
<br />pollulion control and risk management.

<br />S. Conclusions
<br />Although lhe amounl of observations is small, the praclicality of this procedure
<br />has been proved. The observations, perfomled within a small range of discharge
<br />values lead to lower Slrickler coefficients than the commonly assumed values for
<br />torrents. '
<br />The following are recommended ror fulure use of this approach:
<br />Color film, or even beuer infrared film lo beller discriminate water against
<br />river bed. and resolution of at least ASA400.
<br />photographs should be taken as close to vertical as possible
<br />in order to gel ohservations over a wide range of disdmrge values, dilution
<br />method and photographs should be performed autumatically loll distinct rales IIf

<br />
<br />6. A I'Illication or Ihe proposed approach
<br />Improving and completing this approach through consecutive use at several sitc~
<br />could result in a new type of gauge. This gauge would provide nol onfy hydrographs
<br />accompanied by a rating curve of a very confined range of calibration values, hul
