The Karst Springs Initiative Two “citizen scientists” in Tennessee have taken on the task of studying more closely, the vast network of karst springs in the state. Past research has done a good job in mapping and identifying these features, but there remains a knowledge gap when looking at which karst springs are… Continue Reading »
Whether you believe it’s a natural cycle or global warming induced, it’s hard to ignore the signs of climate change. The weather has been extreme the last few years, punctuated by “superstorms”, flooding, and widespread droughts. It’s not just these sudden extreme events that are concerning, but issues of long-term resource sustainability are… Continue Reading »
Conductivity is a parameter that is very useful as a general indication of contamination and salinity levels in water, thus it may be used as a pre-screening tool to help avoid costly laboratory analyses. Conductivity can also be used for measuring and monitoring the impact of pollutants such as road salts, agricultural and highway runoff,… Continue Reading »
In a previous blog post, we discussed the need for, and importance of, barometrically compensating your Levelogger data. Now we will discuss how to actually go about doing a barometric compensation. Here we will focus on our recommended method, which is by using a Barologger and the Levelogger Software Data Wizard. Continue Reading »
The General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works (DSİ) in Turkey, have developed a long-term program to enhance the country’s water basin management through 2023. Their goals include, improving water quality, and gaining current and ongoing information on groundwater and surface water resources. Plans involve conducting hydrogeological investigations, geological surveys, creating models, and reporting water resource… Continue Reading »
Irrigated agriculture in Peru has been an important part of the country’s growth and development, dating back before the Incan Empire. Recently, concerns including water stress, declining water quality, and vulnerability to climate change have induced a push from the Peruvian government to improve the performance of the existing irrigation systems. The National Water Authority… Continue Reading »

Solinst has always listened to customer feedback in order to offer the best selection of groundwater and surface water monitoring instrumentation. As a result, after many years and many requests, vented water level dataloggers were included in our product line to meet the needs of our clients. The LevelVent 5 and AquaVent 5 dataloggers use… Continue Reading »
Vented pressure transducers provide true water level measurements without the need for barometric compensation. They function with the aid of a vent tube that terminates behind the transducer diaphragm, providing an automatic cancellation effect for barometric pressure. The most common deterrent for using a gauged pressure transducer… Continue Reading »
The Nature Conservancy has created a unique method of preserving freshwater resources through Water Funds. Water Fund projects bring together private and public water users, to pay landowners for the conservation and protection of the freshwater sources they share. Efforts focus on conserving and investing in green infrastructure, which help ensure high quality drinking water…. Continue Reading »
