Imetero y'amazi, nk'ibikoresho by'ingenzi mu gupima ikoreshwa ry'amazi, ikoreshwa cyane mu ngo, mu bucuruzi, no mu nganda. Gukoresha neza no gufata neza metero zamazi ntibitanga gusa ibipimo nyabyo ahubwo binongerera igihe cyo kubaho, birinda imyanda idakenewe nigihombo cyamafaranga. Ibikurikira ninama zifatika zo gucunga metero zamazi.
Ubwa mbere, aho ushyira metero y'amazi ni ngombwa. Imetero igomba gushyirwaho ahantu humye, ihumeka byoroshye gusomeka byoroshye, kure yizuba ryizuba nubushuhe kugirango wirinde kuvangavanga cyangwa kwangirika kwimbere. Byongeye kandi, aho ushyira bigomba kuba byoroshye kugenzurwa buri gihe nabasomyi ba metero kandi nta myanda ishobora kubangamira gusoma cyangwa kubungabunga. Kumara igihe kinini uhura nibidukikije bishobora kuganisha ku gupima amakosa cyangwa kwangirika.
Icya kabiri, kugenzura buri gihe imiterere ya metero ni ngombwa. Abakoresha barashobora kugenzura metero yerekana cyangwa kwerekana ibyerekanwe kubintu byose bidasanzwe. Kurugero, niba metero ikomeje kuzenguruka buhoro nyuma yo kuzimya amazi yose - ukoresheje ibikoresho, hashobora kubaho umuyoboro. Ibi bigomba gukorwaho iperereza vuba, nko ahantu hihishe nko mu bwiherero no guhuza imiyoboro, kugirango wirinde guta amazi. Ikigeretse kuri ibyo, niba ubonye ikirahure cyacitse, icyerekezo gifatanye, cyangwa ibisomwa bidasanzwe kuri metero y'amazi, ugomba guhita utabaza uwaguhaye amazi kugirango agenzure kandi wirinde gusenya metero wenyine.
Mu gihe c'itumba, ubushyuhe buke burashobora kwonona metero y'amazi. Niba ubushyuhe bugumye munsi ya zeru mugihe kinini, amazi yo muri metero arashobora gukonja no kwaguka, birashoboka ko metero yaturika. Kubwibyo, abakoresha mumajyaruguru yUbushinwa bagomba gushyira mubikorwa ingamba zo gukumira, nko gupfunyika metero nipamba cyangwa igitambaro cyogosha cyangwa gukomeza ubushyuhe bwimbere mu nzu mugihe cyubukonje bukabije. Niba metero y'amazi yakonje yarahagaritswe, ntugashyuhe hejuru yumuriro ufunguye; ahubwo, koresha amazi ashyushye kugirango uyashonze buhoro kugirango wirinde kwangiza ibintu byoroshye.
Hanyuma, kubungabunga amazi bifitanye isano rya bugufi no gucunga metero y'amazi. Iyo witegereje ibyasomwe na metero y'amazi, abayikoresha barashobora kugereranya imikoreshereze yabo ya buri munsi kandi bagahindura ingeso zabo zamazi nibabona bidasanzwe. Kurugero, ingamba zoroshye nko gusana robine yamenetse no kugabanya igihe cyo kwiyuhagira birashobora kugabanya fagitire yamazi kandi bikagira uruhare mukurengera ibidukikije.
Muri make, gukoresha neza no gufata neza metero zamazi bisaba ubufatanye hagati yabakoresha, abatanga amazi, nabashiraho. Imicungire ya siyansi ntabwo itanga ibipimo nyabyo gusa ahubwo inatezimbere umutungo wamazi, bigera ku nyungu zubukungu n’ibidukikije.
