Overview
The PME miniWIPER is a self-contained, completely submersible wiping device that can be used with a variety of sensors, including the miniPAR Logger. It can be programmed to wipe at various intervals and is powered by two AA Lithium batteries. A small brush rotates over the sensor in order to perform a complete wipe of the sensor surface and then rests away from the sensor to allow for accurate and continuous monitoring. The wiper is used as an anti-fouling device and prevents various organisms from growing on the sensor and interfering with data.
Connectivity
The miniWIPER consists of the wiper motor and USB communication cable. The PME miniWIPER connects to a Windows HOST computer via USB and appears as a Local Disk. The PME miniWIPER records various parameters each time it performs a wipe which appears as files on this local disk.

Data-Driven Decisions: Tracking Sediment during the Klamath Dam Removal
The largest dam removal in U.S. history, the deconstruction of the Klamath Dam is slated to begin this summer. The project includes four dams along the Klamath River with the first and smallest dam, Copco #2, scheduled for removal first. As each of the dams are torn down, scientists and consultants will keep a close eye on the state of the Klamath River downstream to assess the impact of undamming the river. Shawn Hinz, managing partner and environmental toxicologist with Gravity Consulting , has been involved with the Klamath Dam project for over a decade. Hinz was a part of these earlier steps, representing the academic stakeholder position as a graduate student sitting on a board of other stakeholders.

From the Tap: Source Water Monitoring for Public Health
In regions with historically secure access to clean drinking water, few think about the work that goes into ensuring that the water they fill their cups with is safe. In reality, millions of dollars are invested in the infrastructure, equipment and teams involved in converting source water into drinking water. While all the work that goes into providing clean water often goes unnoticed, analysts like Michele Gilkerson, a water research analyst with the City of Columbus Division of Water, know exactly how much goes into securing safe water for millions of people. Gilkerson started with Battelle Memorial Institute in 1991 in their water ecology section. There, she saw how interesting source water monitoring could be, even though it isn’t often spotlighted in the environmental sector.
