YSI EXO Handheld Display: Dependable, Easy To Use
YSI has released a new EXO Handheld Display for use with its EXO Multi-Parameter Water Quality Sondes. The updated handheld integrates around four years of customer feedback for a solid device that adds a lot of utility and user-friendliness. 
 
The appearance of the device has undergone a dramatic update, as YSI engineers opted to swap out the previous handheld’s look for the highly ergonomic Pro Series body that many customers love. Possibly more important, though, is that the body is ultra-durable and has proven itself in tough field applications over the years. 
 
“These handhelds have been to the bottom of aeration tanks and dragged behind moving vehicles, yet kept on collecting quality data,” said Brandon Smith, YSI Sonde product manager.

The largest dam removal in U.S. history, the deconstruction of the Klamath Dam is slated to begin this summer. The project includes four dams along the Klamath River with the first and smallest dam, Copco #2, scheduled for removal first. As each of the dams are torn down, scientists and consultants will keep a close eye on the state of the Klamath River downstream to assess the impact of undamming the river. 
 
Shawn Hinz, managing partner and environmental toxicologist with Gravity Consulting , has been involved with the Klamath Dam project for over a decade. Hinz was a part of these earlier steps, representing the academic stakeholder position as a graduate student sitting on a board of other stakeholders.

In regions with historically secure access to clean drinking water, few think about the work that goes into ensuring that the water they fill their cups with is safe. In reality, millions of dollars are invested in the infrastructure, equipment and teams involved in converting source water into drinking water. 
 
While all the work that goes into providing clean water often goes unnoticed, analysts like Michele Gilkerson, a water research analyst with the City of Columbus Division of Water, know exactly how much goes into securing safe water for millions of people. 
 
Gilkerson started with Battelle Memorial Institute in 1991 in their water ecology section. There, she saw how interesting source water monitoring could be, even though it isn’t often spotlighted in the environmental sector.
