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.

As states face annual droughts and water use continues to grow in order to meet population and production demands, water conservation is essential to protecting natural resources and long-term reliance. 
 
Over the years, conserving water has become more necessary as the world’s natural resources continue to be strained in order to meet needs. As a result, water conservation consultants have filled an essential niche in resource management. 
 
Eddie Wilcut, the Water &; Energy Efficiency Practice Leader at Plummer , started his career in the Air Force, where he took some classes focusing on water resources. In those classes, Wilcut read Aldo Leopold’s “A Sand County Almanac,” and a specific line has stuck with him for the past 26 years.

As scientists seek to better understand aquatic ecosystems, utilizing small data buoys to monitor offshore and cover more water is becoming commonplace. The new NexSens Technology XB-200 data buoy was designed for inland and coastal monitoring applications. 
 
Although compact, the platform is designed with adequate space for multiple sensors and measurement electronics. When configured with the NexSens X3 data logger with IoT connectivity, internal batteries, solar panels, select sensors, and other accessories, the new buoy provides an off-the-shelf solution for any monitoring project. 
 
The new buoy concept was developed by the NexSens product development team with significant user input.
