Hach's SL250 Portable Parallel Analyzer (PPA) is an innovative multiparameter water quality meter that allows you to simultaneously perform colorimetric and probe-based measurements. The instrument and corresponding Chemkey reagents are easy to use regardless of technical expertise. Compared to traditional powder or liquid reagent methods, Chemkeys use a simplified testing method that requires no sample preparation, making the process significantly easier, faster, and safer while drastically reducing variability in results.
Colorimetric tests include free chlorine, total chlorine, fluoride, high range manganese, zinc, copper, nitrite, dissolved iron, high and low range alkalinity, high and low range orthophosphate, high and low range hardness, peracetic acid, and more.
Probe-based tests include pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, and more.

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.

Wave Sensors Integration with NexSens Buoys: A Cutting-Edge Solution for Wave Measurment
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.
