The conductivity plus Level and Temperature Meter accurately measures conductivity, water level and temperature in wells, boreholes, stand pipes and open bodies of water. The meter can be used to profile conductivity and temperature to depths of 1000 ft (300m). Unlike other similar units on the market, the conductivity plus uses a measuring tape with a high tensile steel core, tested for stretch resistance to ASME standards. Two seven strand stainless steel conductors add to the strength of the tape. The tape graduations are in decimal feet with markings at each 1/100th foot or metric with markings at each mm.
The probe utilizes a four-electrode system comprising of two arrays of a single electrode within a concentric electrode. Water level is sensed when the probe passes from a non-conductive medium (air) to a conductive medium (water). The meter measures the temperature and automatically converts readings to specific conductivity values. Calibration is easy using readily-available 1413us solution.
The electronics module houses an LCD screen which displays conductivity values up to 80,000 micro-siemens and a temperature range from 0 C to +50 C. A super bright red LED and an 80dB buzzer are also housed in the module. The electronics are based on A/C current, helping prevent probe corrosion and fouling. All electronics are protected from dust and moisture by an epoxy-based conformal coating. The unit is powered by a single 9V battery also housed within the module. The standalone, sturdy steel frame is coated in Polyurethane for durability, and the vinyl-coated carry handle is ergonomically designed for comfort and easier rewinding.

Applied Research and Innovative Solutions: Creating CHNGES at Western Kentucky University
Long-standing environmental monitoring programs have the power to support a large number of research initiatives and policy changes—however, actually starting these networks can prove challenging. Not only is starting the program difficult, but keeping things operational for decades to come has also been challenging for environmental professionals hoping to make an impact with applied research. 
 
Jason Polk, Professor of Environmental Geoscience and Director of the Center for Human GeoEnvironmental Studies (CHNGES) at Western Kentucky University, is all too familiar with this process.

The prairies of Saskatchewan can be described as one of the least water-secure parts of Canada, making water quality monitoring essential for informed resource management in a region already facing water insecurity. While natural physical properties worsen some of the poor water quality conditions in the region, others are connected to land use. 
 
Having grown up spending summers on the shores of Lake Huron, Helen Baulch, an associate professor at the School of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Saskatchewan , has always been dedicated to the protection of water resources. 
 
Looking back fondly at her childhood playing along the shore, Baulch also recalls the invasion of quagga mussels during her teenage years and watching the lake change as a result.

The Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger is a self-cleaning turbidity sensor capable of internally logging over 260,000 data records. The sensor enables researchers, compliance officers, and contractors to monitor turbidity in various applications, from construction and dredging sites to wastewater effluent. 
 
 Due to its narrow width, this device can be deployed in a range of areas, from small well spaces to rivers and streams. The stainless steel housing and built-in wiper allow the sensor to withstand long-term deployments and reduce the need for maintenance trips. 
 
 The logger accurately records temperature and turbidity up to a depth of 50 meters.
