Overview
The Spectrum WaterScout SMEC 300 combines affordability and accuracy into a sensor that is easy to install. Soil moisture is measured by a capacitance-type sensor driven by an 80 MHz oscillator. Soil salinity is measured by a pair of carbon ink electrodes which provide a large contact surface with the soil solution. Temperature is measured with a thermistor potted in the sensor molding.

Connections
The SMEC 300 is designed to be compatible with the WatchDog data loggers and weather stations, as well as the FieldScout Soil Sensor Reader. SpecWare software enables users to view your data in graphical and tabular form as well as run reports customized to your application.

Monitoring Aquatic Ecosystems: How Science Drives Waterway Management in Northwest Georgia

The University of Georgia is home to multiple labs that focus on monitoring aquatic ecosystems and organisms across the state. The River Basin Center connects these monitoring efforts with external partners, including government agencies and NGOs, to inform management and restoration of the state’s waterways. Phillip Bumpers is a Postdoctoral Associate in the Rosemond lab and the Wenger lab at the Odum School of Ecology and an affiliate of the River Basin Center. An aquatic ecologist, Bumpers’ research focuses on quantifying how environmental variability shapes aquatic ecosystems and understanding the drivers of these trends.

From Paddles to Phytoplankton: Studying Vermont’s Wildest Lakes

For six months of the year, Rachel Cray, a third-year PhD student at the Vermont Limnology Laboratory at the University of Vermont, lives between a microscope and her laptop, running data. For the other six months, she is hiking and canoeing four of Vermont’s lakes, collecting bi-weekly water samples. Cray studies algal phenology across four lakes in Vermont, US, that have low anthropogenic stress—or in other words, are very remote.  Funded by the National Science Foundation Career Award to Dr. Mindy Morales, the lakes Cray researches part of the Vermont Sentinel Lakes Program, which studies 13 lakes in the area and, in turn, feeds into the Regional Monitoring Network, which operates in the Northeast and Midwest US.

Reimagining Water Filtration: How Monitoring and Science Enhance FloWater Filtration Systems

Over 50% of Americans think their tap water is unsafe , according to the Environmental Working Group (EWG). Other recent surveys have found that number to be as high as 70% of persons surveyed.  Whether due to increased public awareness of water quality issues or confusion about how municipal water sources are regulated, there is a clear distrust of tap water in the United States. According to industry expert Rich Razgaitis, CEO and co-founder of the water purification company FloWater, this issue creates a damaging cycle. Razgaitis explained that the health and environmental problems associated with contaminated water aren’t the only issues.  As people become increasingly aware that some tap water is unsafe, they resort to bottled water.
