determine if the voice of some customers represents the concerns of all customers. This case study will identify the variables presented, the level of measurement, and why these levels are appropriate. The team will also analyze a data set of sample responses to determine the recommendation to be made to management.

conductivity (EC) meter was used for discharge measurement. Salt dilution method is particularly used for measurement of flow in mountainous stream and any other sites where high degree of turbulence exists to ensure complete mixing of injected solution in the pre-determined length of the channel. Under such condition of flow, the conventional approach to flow gauging such as current meter or calibrated structure are not feasible. NaCl was used for discharge measurement with the salt dilution methods. The amount
