French term

débit et de prélèvement

French to English Science Environment & Ecology water sanitation
A water sanitation/purification engineer is responsible for the following:

Réalisation de Diagnostics de réseaux d’assainissement : mise en place et suivi de points de mesures de **débit et de prélèvement**

"débit et de prélèvement" seems to be a common phrase. Is there a standard English equivalent for it? In this case I have taken "débit" to mean the water flow rate.

thanks!
neutral Bruce Popp : not necessarily water (could be any fluid: effluent, ozone used in treatment); being persnickety, it is "flow rate" need to include the rate!

Logically it is :

Réalisation de Diagnostics de réseaux d’assainissement : mise en place et suivi de :
- points de mesures de débit, et
- points de prélèvement

surely, so there is no need to lump the two together?

Flow-gauging and sampling points.

agree Bruce Popp : or flow rate
