Abstract
The present invention relates to a liquid sensor for locating in a liquid. The liquid sensor includes a level sensor including one or more sensing stations located between a head and a tail of the liquid sensor. The liquid sensor is suitable for sensing the liquid level. The liquid sensor further includes a depth sensor for sensing the depth of the tail in the liquid. The liquid sensor is particularly suited to pumping station applications.
