FLAMe sampler enables unprecedented snapshots of surface water quality
While limnologists are well-versed in tracking how a lake or river changes at a single point over time, a new homespun, high-speed sampling rig could soon help scientists capture a snapshot of how water quality varies across a water body's entire surface. 
 
The Fast Limnology Automated Measurement platform, or FLAMe, is a boat-mounted water intake system that analyzes surface water quality with advanced sensors while traveling "as fast as your boat can go, essentially," said John Crawford, a USGS research ecologist. 
 
Crawford started working on the FLAMe platform while a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin's Center for Limnology, where he said his supervisors first scoffed at the concept before coming around.
Read MoreEarly results from Colorado River water pulse promising for parched delta
On March 23, 2014, a pulse of water 130 million cubic meters in volume flowed from the Morelos Dam just south of the U.S. - Mexico border through the lower Colorado River delta. Part of a hydrological experiment unprecedented in scale, the release was designed to bring temporary — but hopefully telling — relief to the parched delta. With the earliest results coming in from the ongoing project, researchers are beginning to understand just how beneficial a (relatively) small water pulse can benefit a water-starved region. 
 
Getting the water downriver necessitated more than just an open floodgate. Universities, government agencies and nongovernmental organizations came together from both sides of the border to prepare for the pulse, and to monitor its continual impact.
Read MoreIn Sierra Nevada streams, researchers on the lookout for drought-threatened fish
In the parched hills of the Sierra Nevada, researchers are surveying drought-weakened streams to see what effects long-term dryness is having on fish populations in the region. Their findings so far have been less than stellar, with sparse numbers of fish being counted. 
 
Still, as data collection is progressing, the researchers, who work out of the University of California, Davis’ Center for Watershed Sciences, are gathering insights that could aid in conservation efforts that are expected to grapple with coming climate changes. 
 
The purposes of the investigation are two-fold. “If we ever get rain again, we want to see how well these areas are recovering from drought,” said Rebecca Quinones, a postdoctoral researcher at the center and leader of the project.
