For years, Solinst has offered convenient PC software for programming the Levelogger Series of dataloggers. Now, Apple® mobile users have another option! The Solinst Levelogger App can be downloaded to your Apple smart device. The streamlined App provides all the same, major programming options available as the Leveloggers PC Software – but right on your… Continue Reading »
As you know, Leveloggers measure total or absolute pressure. When submerged, they record a combination of atmospheric pressure and water pressure above their sensor. Because the intent of using Leveloggers is to obtain fluctuations in water pressure only, their data must be compensated for atmospheric effects. In order to achieve this, atmospheric… Continue Reading »
SGD is hard to quantify, and site-specific field measurements are critical to accurately estimate rates of SGD. Universities, researchers and associations across North America have been teaming-up to try to understand this process, part of the broader understanding of groundwater-surface water interactions.

An environmental monitoring program is an essential part of any successful landfill operation. Monitoring ensures that a landfill is functioning as it should, and that wastes do not migrate off-site or pose potential risks to nearby receptors. Regular environmental reporting ensures that operators comply with the regulations and approvals that govern them. Landfill Technicians Brad… Continue Reading »
The Environmental Protection of International River Basins is a EU (European Union) funded project with the overall aim of improving water quality in the trans-boundary river basins of the wider Black Sea region and Belarus. An objective of the project is to improve the availability and quality of water data in the region, including groundwater… Continue Reading »
A number of Leveloggers were deployed at this restoration site along the Hackensack River as a permit requirement to document tidal hydrology. Over the many months that the Leveloggers were deployed, heavy biofouling was observed on the Leveloggers. Continue Reading »
The theme of the 2013 Solinst Symposium was “High Resolution, Depth-Discrete Groundwater Monitoring – Benefits and Importance”. A common topic of discussion was the need for high resolution, depth-discrete data sets in order to better characterize and develop conceptual models for contaminated sites. Continue Reading »
Kent’s presentation focused on a small scale (~10 m x 10 m plot) study in which he developed three distinct site conceptual models for a fractured bedrock site, using different depth-discrete hydraulic and tracer transport measurements. Continue Reading »
Gary presented a time-line of key developments in groundwater monitoring technologies, from the introduction of conventional monitoring wells in the 1950’s, to the late 1970’s when the first multilevel groundwater monitoring systems were produced. Continue Reading »
While completing his Ph.D. at the University of Waterloo, Patryk designed packer testing equipment to be used for conducting hydraulic tests in fractured rock, for contaminant transport studies. Continue Reading »
