Overview
The Van Essen Baro-Diver ensures accurate capture of changes in atmospheric pressure. Conveniently priced and easy to adjust, one Baro-Diver covers a radius of up to 15 km, depending on the topography. The Baro-Diver can also be used for measuring shallow water levels up to approximately 1.5 meters.
Memory
The Baro-Diver has an internal memory capable of storing 72,000 measurements per parameter with new backup memory feature. For each measurement, the Van Essen Baro-Diver simultaneously registers barometric pressure, air temperature, date and time.
Applications
- Monitor potable water recharge areas for water supply
- Monitor tailing ponds, dewatering activities and water supply levels of mines
- General site investigations for construction
- Contaminant plume monitoring on spill sites, remediation sites, chemical storage facilities, landfill sites and hazardous waste storage sites

Van Essen Diver-Link Cellular Telemetry System with Diver-Hub
The Van Essen Diver-Link Cellular Telemetry System enables professionals to monitor water level, conductivity and temperature readings from their home or office. The near real-time data allows scientists, managers, and other environmental professionals to monitor flood events, well depths and groundwater levels. 
 
 Long-term monitoring allows users to develop trends on ever-changing climate conditions. The Van Essen Divers ( CTD-Diver, Cera-Diver, TD-Diver and Mirco-Diver) work well for monitoring water supply, tailing ponds, dewatering, contaminant plumes and hazardous waste storage sites . 
 
 The Diver-Link allows users to monitor groundwater via the Diver-Hub Web Portal for real-time management of site data, equipment and water levels.

Carbon and nutrients are the foundation of lake food webs and play an important role in the chemical and physical processes that shape aquatic ecosystems and various lake dynamics. Studying these cornerstones can help improve understanding of other lake conditions like harmful algal blooms, hypoxia, and phytoplankton community composition. 
 
The way in which these characteristics are monitored varies, though many rely on a proxy approach wherein parameters are extrapolated from the measurement of a different parameter. An assistant professor at Cleveland State University, Brice Grunert, is working to improve current strategies and take a satellite approach to monitoring the Great Lakes.

North Texas is one of the fastest-growing regions in the state, an area that is expected to face increasing water needs. In order to meet these demands, the Upper Trinity Regional Water District ( UTRWD ) is building Lake Ralph Hall near Ladonia in southeast Fannin County, Texas. 
 
The lake has been in the works since 2003, with construction finally beginning in 2021. The population of the UTRWD is expected to grow 5-fold over the next 50 years, leading to increased water use. 
 
Ed Motley, Program Manager with the UTRWD stresses that even with conservation and reuse, new sources like Lake Ralph Hall are essential to meeting near-term and long-term water needs to support regional growth.
