Overview
The Model 201 Water Level Temperature (WLT) Meter is ideal for measuring static water levels, as well as profiling temperature in wells, boreholes, tanks and open water. Accurate temperature measurements are clearly displayed on an LCD readout on the faceplate, from -20ºC to +125ºC. Water level and probe depth measurements are read off the Solinst durable PVDF flat tape. Tape lengths are available up to 1000 ft (300m).
High-Quality Materials
The 201 Probe is made of high quality 316 stainless steel. The pressure-proof probe can be submerged to 1000 ft (300m). The zero measurement point on the probe is close to the tip, keeping water displacement at a minimum. The temperature sensor is located at the stainless steel tip of the probe, however, since the probe body acts as a heat sink, best accuracy is obtained when the probe is completely submerged. The tape seal plug design allows the probe to be easily replaced, if required.
The WLT Meter uses extremely durable PVDF flat tape. The tape is non-stretch and has a dog bone design that prevents adherence to wet surfaces. The tape reels smoothly, remains flexible and hangs straight, regardless of temperature. It is also easy to repair and splice. The 3/8" (10mm) wide tape has permanent laser markings every 1/100 ft. or each millimeter, traceable to NIST and EU measurement standards.
Operation
When the meter is turned on, the LCD screen displays the firmware version of the WLT Meter (e.g. “WLTM 1.0”) for about two seconds. The LCD will then display the temperature reading, in or out of water. The LCD menu is simple to operate. Pressing the button two times quickly deactivates the buzzer (the light stays active). To reactivate, press the button two times quickly. To turn the meter off, press and hold the button for two seconds.
When the zero point of the 201 Probe enters water, an electric circuit is completed, activating the buzzer and light. The depth to water is then read off the flat tape. Temperature readings are read off the LCD display. As the probe is lowered to take temperature measurements at discrete depths, the buzzer can be turned off by pressing the button two times quickly. This is ideal when profiling temperature.

Combating Water Insecurity in Saskatchewan with Real-Time Data
The prairies of Saskatchewan can be described as one of the least water-secure parts of Canada, making water quality monitoring essential for informed resource management in a region already facing water insecurity. While natural physical properties worsen some of the poor water quality conditions in the region, others are connected to land use. Having grown up spending summers on the shores of Lake Huron, Helen Baulch, an associate professor at the School of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Saskatchewan , has always been dedicated to the protection of water resources. Looking back fondly at her childhood playing along the shore, Baulch also recalls the invasion of quagga mussels during her teenage years and watching the lake change as a result.

Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger: Boost your Turbidity Monitoring
The Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger is a self-cleaning turbidity sensor capable of internally logging over 260,000 data records. The sensor enables researchers, compliance officers, and contractors to monitor turbidity in various applications, from construction and dredging sites to wastewater effluent. Due to its narrow width, this device can be deployed in a range of areas, from small well spaces to rivers and streams. The stainless steel housing and built-in wiper allow the sensor to withstand long-term deployments and reduce the need for maintenance trips. The logger accurately records temperature and turbidity up to a depth of 50 meters.

Collecting Data at the Top of the World: How Scientists Retrieve Glacial Ice Cores
A helicopter touches down in the small town of Sicuani, Peru, at an elevation of 11,644 feet. Earlier that day, a boxcar brought fuel, drills, food, and other equipment for a glacial expedition. The year is 1979, and glaciologist Lonnie Thompson is preparing to lead a team to the Quelccaya ice cap in hopes of becoming the first scientists to drill an ice core sample from this glacier. The only problem? The glacier is located at 19,000 feet in one of the most remote areas of the world. The helicopter takes off from the town, but the thin atmosphere at that elevation does not allow it to safely touch down on the ice– due to the aircraft’s weight, and it becomes unstable when the air is less dense.
