We provide service to the local canal company to measure both levels and flow. They have a hole dug out the side with a float in it, and a sensor measures the flow as it pushes by. It runs to a device in a small box on a utility pole, and everything runs on a car battery and small solar panel. Not sure if this type of setup would work for a lake, but I cannot see why it wouldn't.
