With the growing need and interest in using clean or carbon-free energy, the Polish Geological Institute—National Research Institute (Polish Geological Survey) conducted a study to assess the potential for low-temperature geothermal energy in the country. The research was carried out between 2021 and 2023, and the findings were presented at the 49th Workshop on Geothermal Reservoir… Continue Reading »
Coal mining began in Pennsylvania over 250 years ago, and today it still supplies 60 per cent of the fuel for the state’s electric power generation—the fourth largest coal-producing state in the U.S. Despite efforts such as the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA, 1977), over 5000 miles of Pennsylvania’s streams remain polluted by… Continue Reading »
Detailed water monitoring and planning are required to ensure that communities relying on surface water resources are protected from future climate change impacts. Significant weather and hydrologic events in the north Kootenay Lake area of British Columbia, Canada spurred citizens in the region to start taking an active role in preparing for a changing climate… Continue Reading »
It is widely understood that to properly and sustainably manage the world’s groundwater resources, collecting data on its quantity and quality is essential. Efficient, cost-effective options for accessing, storing, and sharing the data are needed to balance out the increased demand. Telemetry is one data retrieval method that is used extensively in environmental applications… Continue Reading »
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 »
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 »
Students at the Indian Institute of Technology are undertaking a transient hydraulic tomography project using Solinst Pneumatic Packers for hydraulic tests. Continue Reading »
A discussion on what can affect Levelogger battery life, including sampling rate, temperature extremes, and dirty optical eyes during communication. 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 »
