Water Hardness TNTplus chemistry and your Hach spectrophotometer are engineered to simplify water analysis for accurate results, everytime.
For photometric determination of Water Hardness (Calcium + Magnesium) by the Metalphthalein method. Traditional Magnesium measurement has often involved time consuming titrations requiring expensive glassware and subjective end point determination by difficult to see color changes.
With Water Hardness TNTplus reagents, simply add included reagents and sample to the vial, invert to mix, and insert into your Hach spectrophotometer! The Direct Read Technology will provide your Calcium, Magnesium and Water Hardness results to the nearest mg/L! No more cleaning glassware, dealing with large amounts of waste, and worrying about human errors.
Upgrade from traditional titration based methods to TNTplus Water Hardness reagents today! 25 Water Hardness vials per box.

Have You Heard? AI Buoys Revolutionizing Marine Mammal Monitoring in Whangārei Harbor, New Zealand
In one history, Whangārei Harbor, nestled in the lush hills of New Zealand’s North Island, gets its name from the Māori, “waiting for the breastbone of the whale.” It seems fitting, then, that it’s now home to state-of-the-art acoustic monitoring buoys listening for marine mammals around the clock. 
 
In September 2024, a team from Auckland-based underwater acoustics firm Cetaware Ltd installed NexSens buoys in Northport, a major commercial port at the entrance to the Whangārei Harbor. 
 
The first buoys to be installed by Cetaware in a permanent setting running 24/7, they use real-time artificial intelligence (AI) models to passively sense Delphinidae–from common dolphins to orcas.

Human interaction has negatively impacted the hundreds of streams that run through Southern California. Man-made river and stream diversions, channeling, and damming have changed the physical and chemical characteristics of these waterways. In addition to physical impairments, climate change is increasingly impacting the ecosystems of streams. 
 
To evaluate and mitigate these negative impacts, local groups are monitoring the riparian habitats of these streams and are conducting water surveys that document rainbow trout populations and evaluate water quality .

Freshwater covers less than 1% of the Earth’s surface but has an outsized impact on global ecosystems, supporting more than 10% of all known species, reports the World Wildlife Fund . Freshwater environments such as rivers and wetlands provide significant scientific, economic, and cultural value. But pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and a lack of prioritization in environmental policies mean freshwater habitats are recognized as one of the most threatened in the world–something scientists have dubbed an “invisible tragedy. ”
