You can use a standard Water meter. Usually this kind of meters are equipped with a reed relay that you can use to read water flow.

Usually water flow measured by invasive - mechanical (differential pressure,rotor), electronic (thermotransfer); and noninvasive - electromagnetic, ultrasonic methods

They described in books :

Webster J.Measurement,instrumentation,and sensors handbook.1999
Instrumentation reference book.Ed.W.Boyes.2003
