- How to deploy a groundwater profiler in a fractured rock aquiferA groundwater profiler can reveal how water quality changes with depth, but fractured rock aquifers require a more deliberate deployment strategy than uniform…
- Turbidity Monitoring for Fish Hatcheries and Aquaculture OperationsClear-looking water is not always healthy water. Fine clay, uneaten feed, fish waste, plankton, bacterial growth, and disturbed biofilter media can all…
- How Colored Dissolved Organic Matter Affects Turbidity MeasurementsTurbidity measurements are often treated as a direct indication of suspended sediment, yet optical instruments respond to the complete interaction between…
- Integrating turbidity monitoring with SCADA for industrial waterIndustrial water systems generate changing conditions that are difficult to manage through occasional laboratory samples alone. Clarifiers, settling ponds,…
- How to Verify Turbidity Sensor Accuracy with Secondary StandardsReliable turbidity data depends on more than a functioning instrument. A sensor can communicate normally, produce stable readings, and still report a biased…
- Suspended-Solids Monitoring During Sand And Gravel DredgingSand and gravel extraction can alter water quality within minutes. Excavation, bucket movement, suction, barge loading, and material discharge may resuspend…
- The Evolution of Optical Sensor Technology in HydrologyHydrology has always depended on indirect evidence. Water level, flow velocity, sediment transport, and water clarity reveal how rivers, lakes, wetlands,…
- Turbidity Monitoring in Flood Events: Rapid Response and Data CollectionFloods can transform a clear stream into a fast-moving mixture of water, clay, organic matter, sand, and debris within minutes. This rapid change affects…
- Power management for optical sensors in long-term autonomous deploymentsLong-term water-quality monitoring depends on much more than selecting a sensor with the right measurement range. An optical turbidity monitor or…
- How to Correlate Turbidity with Total Suspended Solids Using RegressionTurbidity and total suspended solids (TSS) are closely related water-quality measurements, but they are not interchangeable. Turbidity describes how strongly…
