Overview
The Heron 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).
Design
The Heron 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.
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.
Mechanics
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.

Monitoring Hurricanes and Predicting Flooding in the Age of Climate Change
Still recovering from Hurricane Helene, which caused extreme precipitation, flooding, landslides, and other environmental disasters associated with severe weather, the southeastern part of the U.S. is predicted to be hit by another storm, Hurricane Milton. With Hurricane Helene having made landfall only a little over a week ago on September 27 th , many communities are still recovering. ABC reports that over 230 people have been killed as a result of flooding and destruction caused by Helene, with many still missing. Residents in these heavily impacted states, such as Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee, are still searching through the rubble of homes, urban centers, and hospitals for loved ones and belongings.

Reintroducing Historically Native Fish in America’s Largest Wilderness
Among the dozens of publicly protected national parks, hundreds of wilderness areas, and thousands of state parks in the contiguous U.S., none are larger than the Adirondack Park, a 6 million-acre wilderness area that spreads across upstate New York. With 3,000 lakes and ponds and 30,000 miles of rivers and streams, the waterways of the Adirondacks are enormous. Diverse aquatic habitats and ecosystems abound, along with bountiful recreational opportunities. Nearly half of this land is owned by the state of New York and managed through the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) as a forest preserve to return the wilderness to its “presettlement” state.
