Overview
The Hach DR1900 portable spectrophotometer excels in the field because of the lightweight and compact design. The DR1900 is built for rugged conditions, and it’s flexible, --accepting the widest range of vial sizes.
Built with field use in mind, the DR1900 has a large, clear screen and a simple user interface that makes testing easier than ever in even the most demanding conditions.
Advanced Testing
Easy to hold, and operate, the compact DR1900 is a valuable tool for your field technicians. Underneath the rugged exterior, the DR1900 has the largest number,-- over 220-- of the most commonly tested preprogrammed methods already built in. You can also use the easy-to-use interface to create your own methods.
Tests are performed with a wavelength range of 340 to 800 nm which make this a field instrument you can use to find results typically only seen in laboratory instruments.
Notes
Reagents listed below are EPA approved. For the full list of reagents and methods that can be used with the DR1900, refer to the Hach Methods Quick Reference Guide

Water Conservation and Smart Growth in Texas
As states face annual droughts and water use continues to grow in order to meet population and production demands, water conservation is essential to protecting natural resources and long-term reliance. 
 
Over the years, conserving water has become more necessary as the world’s natural resources continue to be strained in order to meet needs. As a result, water conservation consultants have filled an essential niche in resource management. 
 
Eddie Wilcut, the Water &; Energy Efficiency Practice Leader at Plummer , started his career in the Air Force, where he took some classes focusing on water resources. In those classes, Wilcut read Aldo Leopold’s “A Sand County Almanac,” and a specific line has stuck with him for the past 26 years.

As scientists seek to better understand aquatic ecosystems, utilizing small data buoys to monitor offshore and cover more water is becoming commonplace. The new NexSens Technology XB-200 data buoy was designed for inland and coastal monitoring applications. 
 
Although compact, the platform is designed with adequate space for multiple sensors and measurement electronics. When configured with the NexSens X3 data logger with IoT connectivity, internal batteries, solar panels, select sensors, and other accessories, the new buoy provides an off-the-shelf solution for any monitoring project. 
 
The new buoy concept was developed by the NexSens product development team with significant user input.

Ice cover on the Great Lakes provides numerous recreational and economic opportunities, including ice fishing, snowmobile charters, and ice caves on the lakes. Unfortunately, declining ice cover and increasing related weather events due to climate change, as well as other environmental stressors, have put such opportunities at risk. 
 
 Historically, understanding winter weather has been difficult largely due to a lack of observations and, as a result, communities surrounding the Great Lakes have been left underprepared for extreme events.
