Van Essen CTD-Diver Water Level & Conductivity Loggers

Overview
The Van Essen CTD-Diver works wherever there is a need to monitor groundwater levels and saltwater intrusion, injected wastewater, or contamination from chemical discharges and landfill sites. The CTD-Diver is equipped with a four-electrode conductivity sensor that measures electrical conductivity from 0 to 120 mS/cm. There are two options for measuring conductivity: true or specific conductivity at 25 degrees C. Additionally, pressure and temperature are measured and recorded.

Questions & Answers
What software is needed for the CTD logger?
Diver-Office is a free software that can be downloaded on the Van Essen website. You can use the software to export data reports, visualize data and change logger settings.
How many measurements can the CTD Diver hold?
The memory capacity for the logger is 48,000 measurements.
Does the CTD diver need calibrated prior to use?
The logger is factory calibrated for temperature, pressure and conductivity prior to shipment. To calibrate conductivity in the field, a 2-point calibration (dry air/standard) can be performed to ensure accurate readings and a 4-point calibration will bring the logger up to specifications for the full-measurement range for conductivity.
Are the DI27x CTD-Divers still available?
The DI271, DI271, DI273, and DI1274 CTD-Divers were discontinued in late 2021 and replaced with the newer DI28x models. Notable improvements include more memory, and a lower price point.

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.

Three Decades of Research at Acton Lake

A multi-disciplinary team at Miami University, Ohio, has been studying the environmental change at Acton Lake for over three decades. Using three different NexSens buoys over this time, the team has an incredible archive of data that is helping build a picture of Acton’s past, present, and future. Until recently, a NexSens CB-50 buoy was used alongside other environmental monitoring at Acton Lake. In May 2025, the Miami team deployed a new XB-200 buoy , future-proofing their ongoing monitoring using real-time buoy systems. Acton Lake, a small hypereutrophic reservoir in southwest Ohio, covers 2.4km² and has a maximum depth of about 8m. The dam was built in 1956, and the lake has a large agricultural watershed.

Source Water Monitoring in Albany, New York: Tracing Water Quality throughout Tributaries

Thousands of US cities pull their drinking water from natural source waters like reservoirs, rivers, and streams, making overall watershed health a key consideration for water providers. In Albany, New York, the Albany Department of Water and Water Supply delivers drinking water to over 100,000 residents as well as monitors and manages the larger drinking water supply watershed. Hannah Doherty, Environmental Specialist at the Albany Department of Water and Water Supply , spends her days working with a small team to monitor the drinking supply and the connected water bodies. Doherty explains, “We’re the first to encounter the water that ends up being the drinking water.
