Hydrology and coastal ecology
Hydrological studies contribute to the development of more effective solutions related to water availability and distribution. Hydrology research provides important information on environmental conditions, how they change over time, and how decisions are made as a result. Water level and flow data from waterways, lakes, rivers, coastal regions, groundwater systems and many other water resources are recorded by monitoring systems for investigations.
One area of hydrology is the study of coastal areas. These are colorful and rich in biodiversity and provide natural habitats. Many ecosystems in these areas are threatened by rapid growth and land development along the coasts. Data from monitoring programs can provide important insights and help to better manage and protect these ecosystems.
HOBO data loggers provide both researchers and ecologists with a range of ruggedized loggers for use in long-term monitoring of aquatic areas, providing hydrologists with accurate measurements while delivering reliable performance in difficult and demanding conditions. The data loggers also help to assess the potential impact of human activities and global climate change.
Choosing a water level data logger: 5 things you should know
The ability to assess impacts of urban development and agriculture on water supplies is more important than ever. Due to increasing demand, resource managers, engineers and hydrologists have a greater need to monitor groundwater and water surface levels with data loggers. Round-the-clock monitoring saves a lot of effort and simplifies monitoring. The data loggers also make work easier as the data can be called up on a PC. This brochure will help you to find the right product for you, regardless of whether you already have experience with water level loggers or not.
Monitoring wetlands with data loggers: A guide to best practice
New reasons for wetland restoration, conservation and monitoring are discovered every year. Wetlands are a natural filter for polluted water and therefore play an essential role in protecting water quality. Commercial development, overfishing and litter have reduced the number of wetlands. Organizations are now trying to restore wetlands to the original ecosystem they once were and are also working to create new wetlands. To be successful, various environmental conditions such as water level, temperature and rainfall need to be recorded. This brochure provides testimonials on how helpful it is to use data loggers and how easy they are to configure. It also provides tips on installation and maintenance.
Water level data loggers help with river revitalization project
The Buzzards Bay Coalition is a non-profit organization based in New Bedford, Massachusetts. It uses data loggers to collect critical baseline data, conduct a feasibility study and evaluate river restoration alternatives. Once evaluated, the results will be used to build and open a channel for fish.
