Overview
The Hach Intellical LDO101 Field Optical DO Sensor is a digital, luminescent/optical dissolved oxygen (LDO) probe. This rugged DO sensor is built with a stainless steel body, ensuring sufficient weight to the probe for easy outside handling. The sensing part is protected by a shroud, and the connection is ensured by strong and visible yellow cable onto which the depth markers (optional accessories) can be clipped, making the LDO101 rugged models specially designed for field use. The rugged LDO101 is available with a 5, 10, 15, or 30 meters cable.
Applications
The LDO101 is fitted with an automatic pressure sensor module and a temperature sensor. The DO sensing cap comes with an iButton to track days in use and remind the remaining life of the sensing cap element. The LDO101 Rugged is ideal for measuring dissolved oxygen in all types of external environments such as rivers, surface and ground waters, ponds, lakes, sea, wastewater plants, source water, drinking water reservoirs for water quality, and other environmental and treatment process purposes.

Wildfire Prevention in the Sierra Nevada Region with the Yuba Watershed Institute
Though recent wildfires have sparked new conversations about wildfire management and response, groups like the Yuba Watershed Institute have been monitoring the forests and water resources of the Sierra Nevada region for decades, managing approximately 5,000 acres of land with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and about 7,000 acres in private land partnerships. The goal of the Institute is to work with local communities and land agencies to improve watershed and forestry management through informed practices and public outreach. The goals of the Yuba Watershed Institute are three-fold: Improve the ability of fire suppression agencies like the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection ( CAL FIRE ) and the US Forest Service.

Real-time wave data supports accurate weather prediction, safe and efficient maritime operations, and provides valuable safety and operating condition information for recreation and commercial fishing. Understanding wave dynamics also helps with the design of protective coastal structures like seawalls, breakwaters, and jetties. It also supports better prediction of their impact on sediment transport and coastal geomorphology. Wave data is a key factor in qualifying and designing offshore wind farms and harnessing kinetic energy for electrical generation. It helps with the understanding of ocean-atmosphere interactions and contributes to studies of sea-level rise and climate change impacts.
