Overview
The Solinst Water Level Temperature Sensor is a compact, all-in-one submersible hydrostatic level transmitter that provides continuous, stable and accurate water level and temperature readings for a wide variety of applications. The water level pressure sensor and temperature sensor are enclosed in a slim, robust 22 mm x 192 mm (7/8" x 7.55") 316L stainless steel housing. Double o-ring seals prevent leaks, and a Faraday cage design protects against power surges and lightning.
Design
Each probe features a removable nose cone for optional use of the 1/4" NPTM threaded connection. The durable water level pressure sensor provides 0.05% FS accuracy with automatic temperature-compensated readings. There are six pressure ranges to choose from (5-200 m), with options for absolute (non-vented) and gauged (vented) pressure sensor setups.
Data Availability
The 301 Water Level Temperature Sensor works with digital protocols – MODBUS and SDI-12 – and are easy to integrate into existing SCADA or PLC systems. Communication cable assemblies are available in lengths up to 300 meters. The cables are easily and securely attached to the sensor using a threaded connection. Simple PC software utilities are used to set up the sensor for the different protocols, perform simple diagnostics, and update sensor firmware if required. A USB-A programming cable is available for connection to the PC.

Applied Research and Innovative Solutions: Creating CHNGES at Western Kentucky University
Long-standing environmental monitoring programs have the power to support a large number of research initiatives and policy changes—however, actually starting these networks can prove challenging. Not only is starting the program difficult, but keeping things operational for decades to come has also been challenging for environmental professionals hoping to make an impact with applied research. 
 
Jason Polk, Professor of Environmental Geoscience and Director of the Center for Human GeoEnvironmental Studies (CHNGES) at Western Kentucky University, is all too familiar with this process.

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.
