Overview
The YSI Pro Digital Sampling System (ProDSS) is a revolutionary handheld instrument for water quality spot sampling and profiling in the most demanding field conditions. The ProDSS is the most advanced handheld instrument available and can measure a wide range of parameters.
Digital Sampling System - Smart and Easy-to-Use
Any sensor (not included with meter purchase) can be installed in any of the 4 sensor ports, allowing for measurement of any combination of parameters. The ProDSS handheld features a menu-driven user interface and an onboard help key/function.
Advanced Features and Durable Design
The ProDSS features a graphic, backlit color display and a backlit keypad for visibility and easy menu navigation in all lighting conditions. The YSI ProDSS utilizes a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack.
Customizable
The ProDSS handheld cable (cable management kit included with 10, 20, and 30-meter cables) and sensors are sold separately to provide many options when “building” a ProDSS system. The handheld features optional built-in GPS capability, while the cables (up to 100 meters) have an optional depth sensor. GPS coordinates can be stored with measurement data for geo-mapping in the provided PC data management software, KorDSS.
Download Data to PC or Transfer to USB Stick
The ProDSS features a built-in micro USB On-The-Go port for connection to a PC or USB stick. KorDSS software, a powerful PC data management program for the ProDSS, is included with each instrument. The ProDSS internal memory allows for logging > 100,000 data sets, plus 100 sites, 100 Data IDs and 400 GLP records.

Long-Term Monitoring in the Chautauqua Lake Watershed
With a widely developed shoreline, Chautauqua Lake experiences influxes of non-point source pollution that have historically impacted the health of the lake. The Chautauqua Lake Association (CLA) has been monitoring the lake for over two decades, reporting on changes that have occurred over the years. A pair of local lake advocates, Jane and Doug Conroe, have lived on the lake for over 40 years and have played an important role in establishing monitoring programs and facilitating consistent data collection throughout the watershed. Doug has been involved with the Chautauqua Lake Association (CLA) since the pair moved to the area in 1980, and is currently serving as the Executive Director.

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.

Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network: Building Trust in Citizen Science Programs
Citizen science programs have popped up across the United States, focusing on connecting local communities with nearby water resources and building a trustworthy data pool over the sampling period. While commonly utilized as a means of ensuring that large watersheds or lake regions are adequately sampled, the credibility and success of such programs have been called into question. [caption id="attachment_38996" align="alignnone" width="940"] HRWC volunteers measure stream velocity across a subsection of Woods Creek, a tributary of the Huron River near Belleville, Michigan. Stream velocity measurements can be combined with water level measurements to calculate stream flow and chemical parameter loads.
