Just 200 km north of Cape Town, South Africa, you’ll find a unique area that boasts a wide range of landscapes – from rugged mountains to lush river valleys. Groundwater feeds this region. Recently, demand on the high-quality resource has increased. There are over 50 relatively high-yielding groundwater abstraction wells used by the rural community. Continue Reading »
Over 90 per cent of historical coastal wetlands in South Central California have been lost due to development. One such area is the former upper arms of the Devereux Slough, located just northwest of the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) main campus. In the 1960s, the wetland was filled to create a golf course… Continue Reading »
Lithuanian speleologists (cavers) are using Solinst Leveloggers to collect water level data from some of the deepest caves on Earth! Between 2008 and 2012, cavers completed four expeditions to the Krubera Cave—the world’s deepest. During an expedition in 2008, two Leveloggers were deployed more than 1700 metres… Continue Reading »
According to the Canadian Disaster Database, “disaster floods” are occurring more often, and in general, the US National Climate Assessment reports that heavy rainfall events are on the rise worldwide. With flood events and destructive downpours intensifying—much of which can be attributed to climate change—the need for more detailed flood data is growing. More accurate… Continue Reading »
When used together, the Solinst 3001 Levelogger and 101D Water Level DrawDown Meter provide a solution for measuring drawdown accurately. Continue Reading »
Accuracy, resolution, and precision are often interchanged when discussing the specifications of a pressure sensor. Here, we will differentiate between the three in relation to Solinst Levelogger, LevelVent, and AquaVent datalogger pressure sensors. Continue Reading »
A discussion on what can affect Levelogger battery life, including sampling rate, temperature extremes, and dirty optical eyes during communication. Continue Reading »
Globally, agricultural producers are facing tougher rules and challenges when it comes to water use and water quality associated with their operations. In Canada, the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food (AAFC) conducts research in support of agricultural producers, providing them with the latest information to help them succeed. As part of their initiatives,… Continue Reading »
Solinst Leveloggers have played an important role in Lithuania’s water conservation and management efforts for a number of years. In 2005, Solinst Leveloggers were deployed as part of the country’s national groundwater monitoring network. The Leveloggers replaced their manual measurement methods, allowing lower operating costs… Continue Reading »
Solinst AquaVent 5 and LevelVent 5 dataloggers use hydrophobic filters, taking advantage of their unique properties to improve vented water level datalogger instrumentation performance.Vented water level dataloggers use a pressure transducer with a vent tube running from the sensor to surface… Continue Reading »
