Overview
The Van Essen TD-Diver is a reliable instrument for autonomous measuring and recording of groundwater level and temperature. Its internal memory of 72,000 measurements per parameter provides sufficient capacity to perform nearly one measurement every hour for 8 years. A new backup memory feature enhances data integrity. For each measurement, the Diver registers the date and time, groundwater level, and temperature.
Precision
The Van Essen TD-Diver is an easy-to-use datalogger featuring state-of-the-art electronics and a robust high-precision pressure sensor for long-term accuracy. The absolute pressure sensor requires minimal maintenance and re-calibration.
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 TD-Diver: Robust Level Logger Ups Data Efficiency
All sorts of applications employ groundwater level loggers. These are typically deployed in piezometers, and log measurements for as long as the project requires. For those environmental professionals looking for a more long-term solution, the new Van Essen TD-Diver groundwater level logger is a solid choice. 
 
The new groundwater level logger launched in November 2016 with an eye toward including improvements to make it an even more robust option for groundwater monitoring. Over the years, through customer feedback and other experiences, managers at the company had envisioned quite a list of things to add. 
 
Among these, there are a few that environmental pros could really find handy.

The PME miniDOT Logger is a compact data logger that measures dissolved oxygen (DO) and temperature down to 100 meters in depth. The unit can also endure low water temperatures and is durable underneath an ice layer, which is excellent for gathering essential winter water quality data that is lacking from using less robust equipment. The high depth rating and ability to withstand frigid temperatures make the PME a reliable device that is deployable in dramatically different environments, such as a monitoring well, an inland lake or an underwater cave. 
 
The logger itself features an optical DO sensor, temperature sensor, two AA lithium batteries and a micro SD memory card.

From watersheds that provide drinking water, the rain that nourishes plants, to the streams and rivers that help aquatic ecosystems flourish, water is an ever-present and ever-essential part of life. For those like Durelle Scott, a professor of Biological Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech University, understanding the importance of these natural systems was always a part of life. 
 
The desire to preserve the nation's aquatic resources stems from a childhood spent exploring the lakes and streams that surrounded him growing up in rural Pennsylvania. Now, as a teacher and a researcher, Scott makes it a priority to ensure that people now and in the future appreciate the enormous impact that aquatic ecosystems have on their lives. “I would say that water connects us all.
