Overview
The Solinst Tag Line uses a weight attached to a laser-marked flat tape and is principally designed for use during the installation of monitoring wells. The Tag Line also provides a simple method to measure the depth to the bottom of a well. It is also ideal as a multipurpose marked support cable.
Design
The Model 103 Flat Tape Tag Line uses a 3/8" (10 mm) PVDF flat tape. The tape has a break strength of greater than 220 lbs (100 kg). It has a thick dog bone design that prevents adherence to wet surfaces and allows it to hang straight. The well tape comes with laser markings every 1/100 ft. or each millimeter. Lengths are 100 ft to 1000 ft. (30 m to 300 m).
The standard stainless steel tag weight is 1.5 lbs (0.68 kg) and measures 3/4" x 1 ft. (19 mm x 30 cm). A narrow tag weight, 1/2" x 1 ft. (13 mm x 30 cm), weighing 0.65 lbs (0.30 kg), is also an option. Tag weights have tapered ends to minimize hang-ups during deployment and return to the surface and can be clipped on and off the tape. This allows the use of the reel-mounted marked well tape for other uses, such as bailer or pump, and packer deployment.

New map shows significant groundwater depletion in Central California
Groundwater level data collected by a Central California county shows significant drops during the past 12 years, according to a San Luis Obispo Tribune article. 
 Data shows that groundwater has dropped by a minimum of 70 feet from 1997 to 2009 in the Paso Robles area of Central California. 
 In the past four years the areas of most significant decline have expanded north and south. 
 Drought and agricultural withdrawals are the likely culprits for the groundwater decline. 
Some advocates are calling for more responsible water use by vineyards in the area, while farmers note that the recent drought did not help the situation.

The prairies of Saskatchewan can be described as one of the least water-secure parts of Canada, making water quality monitoring essential for informed resource management in a region already facing water insecurity. While natural physical properties worsen some of the poor water quality conditions in the region, others are connected to land use. 
 
Having grown up spending summers on the shores of Lake Huron, Helen Baulch, an associate professor at the School of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Saskatchewan , has always been dedicated to the protection of water resources. 
 
Looking back fondly at her childhood playing along the shore, Baulch also recalls the invasion of quagga mussels during her teenage years and watching the lake change as a result.

The Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger is a self-cleaning turbidity sensor capable of internally logging over 260,000 data records. The sensor enables researchers, compliance officers, and contractors to monitor turbidity in various applications, from construction and dredging sites to wastewater effluent. 
 
 Due to its narrow width, this device can be deployed in a range of areas, from small well spaces to rivers and streams. The stainless steel housing and built-in wiper allow the sensor to withstand long-term deployments and reduce the need for maintenance trips. 
 
 The logger accurately records temperature and turbidity up to a depth of 50 meters.
