- Groundwater Profiling for Saltwater Intrusion DetectionSaltwater intrusion occurs when saline water moves into freshwater aquifers, often because groundwater pumping lowers hydraulic pressure near a coastline.…
- Choosing turbidity sensors for ice-covered lakes and riversWinter changes the conditions under which water-quality instruments operate. Ice can block light, trap bubbles beneath the surface, alter flow patterns, and…
- Bubble Interference in Optical Turbidity ReadingsOptical turbidity instruments estimate the concentration of suspended particles by measuring how particles scatter or absorb light in water. The method is…
- How to Use Suspended-Solids Sensors for Real-Time Process ControlA suspended-solids sensor provides a continuous indication of particulate concentration in water, slurry, or another liquid stream. When its signal is…
- Troubleshooting Optical Sensor Fouling in High-Productivity WatersHigh-productivity waters contain abundant biological material, organic particles, and suspended sediment. These conditions support aquatic life and often…
- Turbidity Monitoring For A Submarine Pipeline InstallationInstalling a submarine pipeline can disturb seabed sediment over a wide area, especially when the route crosses fine silt, estuarine deposits, or recently…
- The Role of Turbidity in Ocean Color Remote Sensing ValidationOcean color remote sensing turns subtle changes in water-leaving radiance into information about aquatic environments. Satellite and airborne sensors can…
- Understanding the linear range of a turbidity sensor and its limitsA turbidity sensor converts the interaction between light and particles in water into a measurement. That measurement is useful for tracking sediment plumes,…
- How to Build a Low-Cost Turbidity Monitoring System for EducationTurbidity is one of the most accessible water-quality variables for classroom investigation. It describes how suspended particles scatter and absorb light in…
- Integrating Groundwater Profilers With Existing Monitoring WellsGroundwater monitoring wells provide established access points for measuring hydraulic conditions and water chemistry over time. A groundwater profiler adds a…
