Overview
The Model 101 P7 Probe Water Level Meters are the industry standard for portable hand-operated meters to measure the depth of water in wells, boreholes, standpipes, and tanks. They are sturdy, easy to use, and read accurately up to 1/100 ft. or each millimeter. The Model 101 P7 Water Level Meter features a pressure-proof probe rated at 500 psi and laser-marked PVDF tape. The P7 Probe is submersible up to 1000 ft. (300 m), ideal for measuring total well depth. The sensor at the tip of the probe provides consistent measurements with almost zero displacements. The tape seal plug design allows the probe to be quickly and easily replaced if required.
Durability
The Model 101 P7 Probe Water Level Meter uses extremely durable PVDF flat tape, traceable to NIST and EU measurement standards. Each tape conductor contains 13 strands of stainless steel, and 6 strands of copper-coated steel, making the tape non-stretch and high in tensile strength and electrical efficiency. The well tape has a thick dog bone design that prevents adherence to wet surfaces and allows it to hang straight in application settings. The tape is also easy to splice. The 3/8" (10 mm) well tapes come with permanent laser markings every 1/100 ft. or each millimeter.

Wetland water level study skips modern sensor tangle for 1930s method
Environmental sensors can measure almost any physical parameter in nature, but sometimes they can overwhelm the science they are supposed to support. 
 Jason Hill, an assistant professor of engineering at the University of Southern Indiana, wants to create a water level model that will help wetland restorers understand and predict water level fluctuations by studying water loss through the ground and evapotranspiration. 
 The problem is his next project site has too many variables to measure. So, he’s taking an old fashioned route based on empiricism and water level measurement. 
 Hill said that conventional techniques for estimating evapotranspiration require site specific micrometeorological data, like solar radiation, wind speed and vapor pressure.

Pollinators of all shapes and sizes are vital to ecosystems around the world. From the wide array of food people eat to the diversity of life around the planet, life would be very different without them. Pollinators are organisms that help carry pollen from one plant to another, and over 350,000 species can be found worldwide, according to The California Department of Fish and Wildlife . With the strong relationship between plants and pollinators, losing either would have detrimental impacts on ecosystems. 
 
 Over millions of years, both plants and pollinators have evolved alongside each other and formed unique adaptations that allow them to work together, expediting and enhancing the process of pollination.

The eight main Hawaiian Islands are made up of 15 volcanoes, six of which are active as of 2023 . Many locals live on or near an active volcano, making the monitoring and understanding of volcanic activity a core issue of public safety on the islands. Organizations like the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) have spent decades monitoring the islands’ volcanoes to protect the public, develop a deeper understanding of the islands’ volcanos and forecast eruptions whenever possible. 
 
Even those who live away from edifices like Mauna Loa often have connections to the people living near the volcano.
