The grey V-shaped obstacle over which the water flows is made of plastic or fibreglass. None of the flow metering methods listed in Wikipedia seems to fit here. I speculate that the sensing method may be capacitive, at least as regards water height. For the output of this meter, see http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/floods/riverlevels/120717.aspx?stationId=3313
