Overview
The Heron dipperLog tapNtell Surface Mount Display is best suited to monitor water levels during earth works construction, mining operations, irrigation wells, pore water pressure monitoring in piezometers, or just to keep a watchful eye on a domestic well. The tapNtell provides real-time temperature and water level data, accounting for the rise and fall of the water as it happens below. This data is conveniently presented in numerical value on the display.
Design
Housed in a NEMA IP68 casing, the tapNtell is permanently secured at the top of a well that hosts a direct-read cable installation. This is available for all dipperLog water level loggers that are deployed with a reel or in a well head readout option.

Monitoring Meadowbrook Creek: Real-Time Data Collection in an Urban Creek
Meadowbrook Creek in Syracuse, New York, has been monitored by Syracuse University (SU) faculty and students for over a decade. Originally established by Dr. Laura Lautz in 2012, the early years of the program focused on collecting grab water samples for laboratory analysis and evaluating the impact of urban land use, human activities, and natural processes on water resources. 
 
 Tao Wen , an Assistant Professor in SU’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, took over the program in 2020 and upgraded the existing systems to include 4G modems that allowed for real-time data viewing.

Continuous data collection in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, started about 5 years ago, and the county will be making a major upgrade over the next year—switching from relying solely on the internal storage of water quality sondes to telemetry units that enable real-time data viewing.

 Telling Lancaster County's Story Through Data 
Since the Lancaster County Conservation District started monitoring county waterways, the goal has remained the same, according to Amanda Goldsmith, Watershed Specialist for the Watershed Department.

In the early 2000s, along the coast of northern California, where the redwoods dominate the forests, and the Pacific Ocean shapes shorelines, a Humboldt University undergraduate student took the first steps into a lifelong love of marine biology. 
 
Dean Janiak accepted an invitation to help a graduate student with fieldwork in rocky coastal tide pools, and so began a journey that led him from California to Connecticut to Florida and eventually to the world, where he has facilitated research in communities across the globe. 
 
While finishing up his masters of Oceanography from the University of Connecticut, Janiak continued researching fouling communities–marine life that live on hard, often artificial surfaces such as docks–at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center.
