- Groundwater profiler deployment in deep observation wellsDeep observation wells provide access to aquifers, fractured rock, mine workings, and engineered recharge zones that cannot be assessed reliably from surface…
- How Turbidity Changes Light Availability in Aquatic EcosystemsSunlight is the primary energy source for most aquatic food webs. Phytoplankton, algae, seagrasses, and submerged plants use radiation to convert carbon…
- Integrating suspended-solids sensors with telemetry for early warning systemsEarly warning systems for sediment events depend on more than a sensor installed in moving water. They require a complete chain that can detect a change in…
- Field Audits of Optical Sensor Accuracy With Grab SamplesOptical turbidity and suspended-solids sensors provide continuous measurements in conditions where laboratory sampling alone cannot capture rapid changes. A…
- Data management strategies for large-scale turbidity sensor networksTurbidity monitoring becomes a data-management problem long before a network reaches hundreds of instruments. Each optical sensor can produce a continuous…
- Real-Time Turbidity Monitoring At A Riverbank Filtration SystemA riverbank filtration system can produce high-quality source water by drawing river water through natural layers of sand and gravel before it reaches…
- Optical Sensors for Extreme Turbidity in MiningMining operations can create water conditions that exceed the practical range of ordinary turbidity instruments. Dredging, tailings discharge, pit dewatering,…
- Using Groundwater Profilers To Assess Aquifer Storage And Recovery SystemsAquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) systems place treated drinking water, reclaimed water, or seasonally available surface water into a suitable aquifer for…
- Reliable Suspended-Solids Measurement in Paper Mill EffluentPaper manufacturing uses large volumes of water to transport fibers, dilute stock, wash equipment, and control temperature. After use, that water can contain…
- Correcting Turbidity Measurements For Changing Ambient LightOptical turbidity instruments estimate water clarity by measuring how suspended particles scatter or absorb light. The signal can be highly reliable when the…
