The Solinst Model 102 P4 Probe Water Level Meter is designed to measure groundwater levels in small diameter tubes and piezometers. A choice of two small diameter probe designs are attached to a narrow coaxial cable. The cable has a heavy-duty polyethylene jacket and stainless steel coaxial conductors for durability and strength. Permanent markings are precisely laser etched on the cable every 1/100 ft. or each millimeter.
A standard 9 volt battery, housed in an easy-access battery drawer, powers the Water Level Meter. When the probe enters water, a light and clearly audible buzzer are activated. The water level is then determined by taking a reading directly from the cable at the top of the well casing or borehole. A sensitivity control allows the buzzer to be turned off while in cascading water and ensures a clear signal in both high and low conductivity conditions.

Lake Malawi: A Treasure to Protect
Lake Malawi (also known as Lake Nyasa and Lake Niassa) doubles as a Rift Valley Lake and one of the seven African Great Lakes. Due to its unique biodiversity, it’s a great place to conduct limnological studies. Harvey Bootsma is a professor for the School of Freshwater Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and has had an interest in limnology ever since he was a kid. Bootsma fondly recalls summer vacations to Georgian Bay, Ontario, “I probably spent as much time in the water as I did out of it.” He continues,”I remember telling myself ‘I’m going to get a job where I can stay here all the time.’” While Harvey didn’t end up working on Georgian Bay, he was offered a job working on Lake Malawi. He continued working there while completing his Ph.D.

Aquatic ecosystems are incredibly complex, with many different biotic and abiotic factors constantly interacting. Microbial communities are a key part of aquatic ecosystems, involved in the constant flow of energy and recycling of organic matter, according to Science Direct . The true scope of microbial community impacts on aquatic ecosystems is still not entirely understood. Eric Benbow, a professor of community ecology at Michigan State University, is exploring how microbial communities and pathogens may be negatively impacting human health, and how a changing climate could worsen this problem. 
 How Do Pathogens Arise? 
 Benbow, along with his students and colleagues, are studying a realm of community ecology that is still relatively unknown.
