The conductivity plus Level and Temperature Meter accurately measures conductivity, water level and temperature in wells, boreholes, stand pipes and open bodies of water. The meter can be used to profile conductivity and temperature to depths of 1000 ft (300m). Unlike other similar units on the market, the conductivity plus uses a measuring tape with a high tensile steel core, tested for stretch resistance to ASME standards. Two seven strand stainless steel conductors add to the strength of the tape. The tape graduations are in decimal feet with markings at each 1/100th foot or metric with markings at each mm.
The probe utilizes a four-electrode system comprising of two arrays of a single electrode within a concentric electrode. Water level is sensed when the probe passes from a non-conductive medium (air) to a conductive medium (water). The meter measures the temperature and automatically converts readings to specific conductivity values. Calibration is easy using readily-available 1413us solution.
The electronics module houses an LCD screen which displays conductivity values up to 80,000 micro-siemens and a temperature range from 0 C to +50 C. A super bright red LED and an 80dB buzzer are also housed in the module. The electronics are based on A/C current, helping prevent probe corrosion and fouling. All electronics are protected from dust and moisture by an epoxy-based conformal coating. The unit is powered by a single 9V battery also housed within the module. The standalone, sturdy steel frame is coated in Polyurethane for durability, and the vinyl-coated carry handle is ergonomically designed for comfort and easier rewinding.

Charles River Algal Blooms Stop Swimming and Launch a Floating Wetland
The Charles River used to be a swimming hotspot for Cambridge and Boston residents. 
 
 Decades of industrial pollution and nutrient runoff have degraded water quality and eliminated public swimming in the Lower Charles, but a movement is afoot to get Boston and Cambridge back in the water. One step toward the goal of a safely swimmable river—without the need to obtain a permit, as is now necessary—is detecting and managing the harmful algal blooms that appear on the river. 
 
 An experimental floating wetland and new research and analysis of water quality data that shows a possible effective detection system for algal blooms on the Charles River are two new steps toward the goal of safe, accessible swimming.
Read MoreHarnessing the Gulf Stream for Renewable Energy
The Gulf Stream, the massive western boundary current off the east coast of North America, moves water from the Gulf of Mexico north and west across the Atlantic Ocean. There’s a lot of energy in that much moving water and researchers are trying to put it to use. 
 
 Although the Gulf Stream’s path shifts (researchers say it acts like a wiggling garden hose), in a couple of spots, it stays relatively stable. At one such spot off the coast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, researchers have dropped moorings and research instruments to study the current with the eventual goal of harnessing it for renewable energy.
Read MoreBuoys in the time of Covid: Delays to important information
In early 2020, Michigan found itself facing one of the worst outbreaks of Covid-19 in the country. Though it’s close to second nature now, businesses, schools and governments were suddenly forced to conduct business without close contact. Universities and research institutions had to pause some scientific research. Whatever was able to continue slowed to a crawl. 
 
 Around the Great Lakes, a network of buoys monitors dozens of water quality parameters and lake conditions, reporting them in real time. This year, the monitoring season was cut a bit short as Covid-19 restrictions hit in the weeks before buoys were set to be deployed.
