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.

The PME miniDOT Logger is a compact data logger that measures dissolved oxygen (DO) and temperature down to 100 meters in depth. The unit can also endure low water temperatures and is durable underneath an ice layer, which is excellent for gathering essential winter water quality data that is lacking from using less robust equipment. The high depth rating and ability to withstand frigid temperatures make the PME a reliable device that is deployable in dramatically different environments, such as a monitoring well, an inland lake or an underwater cave. 
 
The logger itself features an optical DO sensor, temperature sensor, two AA lithium batteries and a micro SD memory card.
Read MoreThe Water of Life: How Understanding Natural Hydrologic Processes in Aquatic Ecosystems Can Lead to a Sustainable Future
From watersheds that provide drinking water, the rain that nourishes plants, to the streams and rivers that help aquatic ecosystems flourish, water is an ever-present and ever-essential part of life. For those like Durelle Scott, a professor of Biological Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech University, understanding the importance of these natural systems was always a part of life. 
 
The desire to preserve the nation's aquatic resources stems from a childhood spent exploring the lakes and streams that surrounded him growing up in rural Pennsylvania. Now, as a teacher and a researcher, Scott makes it a priority to ensure that people now and in the future appreciate the enormous impact that aquatic ecosystems have on their lives. “I would say that water connects us all.
