Abstract: In this work, a new generation of hydroacoustic tomography system operated by high-frequency 53-KHz underwater acoustic transducers was used to measure discharge in a shallow mountainous river. The system was placed in very stringent site conditions which imposed a challenge to improve discharge estimates. To overcome this challenge, authors applied a practical method to tune the hydroacoustic data, this method depends on graph theory applications to analysis arrival times. The results showed that discharge estimated by FAT is in perfect agreement with discharge estimated by the RC method.
