Overview Solinst now offers an optional, field-replaceable unscreened nose cone design for the Levelogger (M5 models—Junior and LevelVent included). This enhancement is the result of customer feedback and field collaboration with Saso Consulting, who provided valuable insight from real-world monitoring in shallow, aerated streams —a special thank you to Paul Saso. Note: As this nose… Continue Reading »
Building Community Resilience Community resilience in the face of sea level rise and extreme events, such as atmospheric rivers and highest astronomical tides (HAT), is a pressing concern for coastal regions worldwide, including coastal California. James Jacobs, a PhD candidate researcher at the University of California Santa Cruz and experienced hydrogeologist, is investigating whether utility… Continue Reading »
Researchers at the Institute of Open Cast Mining in Poland (Poltegor-Instytut) performed several studies to determine the suitability of Solinst Levelogger water Level dataloggers for hydrogeological monitoring of their mining operations. Through pumping tests and other studies, they showed that continuous, high-frequency water level data is critical to accurately track the effects of mining operations… Continue Reading »
After a significant rainfall event in early 2022, it was found that groundwater levels at a landfill site in southeast Queensland, Australia had risen several metres above any previously recorded levels. As such, the operators of the landfill contracted Anderson Consulting to assist with site planning and works. This included a review of the existing… Continue Reading »
A discussion on what can affect Levelogger battery life, including sampling rate, temperature extremes, and dirty optical eyes during communication. Continue Reading »
In a previous blog post, we discussed the need for, and importance of, barometrically compensating your Levelogger data. Now we will discuss how to actually go about doing a barometric compensation. Here we will focus on our recommended method, which is by using a Barologger and the Levelogger Software Data Wizard. Continue Reading »
The General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works (DSİ) in Turkey, have developed a long-term program to enhance the country’s water basin management through 2023. Their goals include, improving water quality, and gaining current and ongoing information on groundwater and surface water resources. Plans involve conducting hydrogeological investigations, geological surveys, creating models, and reporting water resource… Continue Reading »
Leveloggers are used for measuring water levels in various surface water monitoring applications, including: flood and drought monitoring, base flow monitoring in stream beds, watershed recharge studies, stream gauging, lake and reservoir level monitoring, harbour and tidal fluctuation monitoring, wetlands monitoring, stormwater runoff monitoring, construction site runoff management, ecological studies, field… Continue Reading »
Throughout the two days of the symposium, attendees were provided with the opportunity to discuss environmental applications and monitoring methodologies with Solinst technical staff. The attendees were able to view hands-on demonstrations of Solinst instrumentation, including Solinst STS Telemetry Systems, Leveloggers®, Bladder Pumps, and Multilevel Groundwater Monitoring Systems. Solinst staff were there to answer any questions about the equipment… Continue Reading »
Day Two began with a very interesting presentation by Ed Harvey with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Ed presented ongoing research from two of Nebraska’s most unique groundwater dependent ecosystems – Eastern Saline Wetlands and Sandhills Fens. Due to the unique composition of the groundwater that feeds these two ecosystems, the species found in these environments are not native… Continue Reading »
