The WS700 composite/discrete water sampler's state of the art water sampler controller gives you complete control over your water sampling process. With the water sample size control, you can take individual time-weighted composite samples or full-bottle discrete grab samples in a 2.5 gallon sample bottle. The water sample interval control allows you set the time between individual composite samples or enable the external trigger mode for flow proportional sampling. A start delay timer allows you to start multiple composite/discrete water samplers in the field at the same time, or to delay drawing a water sample after a triggering event so that your water sample better represents the water source. An automatic 15 second backflush cycle clears any debris from the strainer and empties the water from the hose so the next composite sample is not contaminated.
The WS700 composite/discrete water samplers are easy to set up in the field. The composite/discrete water sampler's rugged rainproof enclosure can be padlocked and/or chained to prevent tampering. The composite/discrete water samplers are enclosed in a relatively small case that can be easily hidden or camouflaged to prevent vandalism. The composite/discrete water samplers are lightweight enough that even with a full sample bottle it can be suspended in a manhole for wastewater or stormwater sampling.
The WS700 composite/discrete water samplers come with a 2-gallon polyethylene sample bottle for collecting composite samples, a peristaltic sampling pump, a circuit board controller, and a rechargeable gel cell battery. Also provided is a sample pickup hose and a battery charger. Everything you need is provided for a successful wastewater management or environmental monitoring program.
Low Power
The composite/discrete water sampler's 5 AH rechargeable battery will power the sampler for several months or several sampling events.
Overflow Protection
The composite/discrete water sampler's sample bottle is equipped with a float switch that automatically turns off the peristaltic sampling pump if the water bottle becomes full.
Sample Size
The user can adjust the composite/discrete water sampler's sample size to one of 15 composite sample sizes from 50ml to 2 liters plus a full bottle discrete setting and the composite/discrete water sampler's sample interval to one of 15 time settings from 5 minutes to 12 hours plus an external trigger mode setting for flow proportional sampling.
Flow Proportional Sampling
An external pulse-type flow meter can control the water sample interval for true flow proportional sampling. Global Water's Open Channel Flow Monitor has a flow-proportional output signal for triggering the WS700 composite/discrete water samplers.

Charles River Algal Blooms Stop Swimming and Launch a Floating Wetland
The Charles River used to be a swimming hotspot for Cambridge and Boston residents. 
 
 Decades of industrial pollution and nutrient runoff have degraded water quality and eliminated public swimming in the Lower Charles, but a movement is afoot to get Boston and Cambridge back in the water. One step toward the goal of a safely swimmable river—without the need to obtain a permit, as is now necessary—is detecting and managing the harmful algal blooms that appear on the river. 
 
 An experimental floating wetland and new research and analysis of water quality data that shows a possible effective detection system for algal blooms on the Charles River are two new steps toward the goal of safe, accessible swimming.
Read MoreHarnessing the Gulf Stream for Renewable Energy
The Gulf Stream, the massive western boundary current off the east coast of North America, moves water from the Gulf of Mexico north and west across the Atlantic Ocean. There’s a lot of energy in that much moving water and researchers are trying to put it to use. 
 
 Although the Gulf Stream’s path shifts (researchers say it acts like a wiggling garden hose), in a couple of spots, it stays relatively stable. At one such spot off the coast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, researchers have dropped moorings and research instruments to study the current with the eventual goal of harnessing it for renewable energy.
Read MoreBuoys in the time of Covid: Delays to important information
In early 2020, Michigan found itself facing one of the worst outbreaks of Covid-19 in the country. Though it’s close to second nature now, businesses, schools and governments were suddenly forced to conduct business without close contact. Universities and research institutions had to pause some scientific research. Whatever was able to continue slowed to a crawl. 
 
 Around the Great Lakes, a network of buoys monitors dozens of water quality parameters and lake conditions, reporting them in real time. This year, the monitoring season was cut a bit short as Covid-19 restrictions hit in the weeks before buoys were set to be deployed.
