Overview
The Solinst Sonic Water Level Meter is a portable, acoustic ranging instrument designed to simply and quickly measure depth to static water level in a well, piezometer, sounding tube, or any closed pipe. The Sonic Water Level Meter reports static water level measurements without having to put any instruments down the well, eliminating any introduction of chemicals and the need to decontaminate equipment or wells. The Solinst Sonic Water Level Meter works in straight or crooked pipes, and is ideal for wells with difficult access. Depth measurements to 600 m (2000 ft) are possible.
Installation
The Solinst Sonic Water Level Meter consists of a Control Unit and connected Probe. The Control Unit has a clear LCD display, keypad, and comes with 6 AA replaceable batteries. The Control Unit keypad has buttons to turn the Probe on and off, read the depth to water, and controls to scroll through and set other parameters. The Probe connects to the Control Unit with a 1.8 m (6 ft) cable. The Sonic Water Level Meter Probe is designed to sit in the vent opening of a standard well cap, or the opening in a Solinst 2" Locking Well Cap.

Wildfire Prevention in the Sierra Nevada Region with the Yuba Watershed Institute
Though recent wildfires have sparked new conversations about wildfire management and response, groups like the Yuba Watershed Institute have been monitoring the forests and water resources of the Sierra Nevada region for decades, managing approximately 5,000 acres of land with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and about 7,000 acres in private land partnerships. The goal of the Institute is to work with local communities and land agencies to improve watershed and forestry management through informed practices and public outreach. The goals of the Yuba Watershed Institute are three-fold: Improve the ability of fire suppression agencies like the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection ( CAL FIRE ) and the US Forest Service.

Wave Sensors Integration with NexSens Buoys: A Cutting-Edge Solution for Wave Measurment
Real-time wave data supports accurate weather prediction, safe and efficient maritime operations, and provides valuable safety and operating condition information for recreation and commercial fishing. Understanding wave dynamics also helps with the design of protective coastal structures like seawalls, breakwaters, and jetties. It also supports better prediction of their impact on sediment transport and coastal geomorphology. Wave data is a key factor in qualifying and designing offshore wind farms and harnessing kinetic energy for electrical generation. It helps with the understanding of ocean-atmosphere interactions and contributes to studies of sea-level rise and climate change impacts.
