Overview
By combining the WS 131 Flow Meter and the Well Sounder 2010 PRO, the WS 2100 Flow Meter Kit includes all of the instrumentation needed to perform a complete well draw down test. The WS 131 comes with a variety of housing sizes each made to attach on a PVC pipe. Simply plug the WS 131 into the Well Sounder 2010 PRO and it is ready to go. Custom cables eliminate the hassles of multiconductor flow meters and supplying external power by easily connecting the WS 131 flow meter to the Well Sounder 2010 PRO. The Well Sounder's proprietary self-calibration routine makes the process quick and accurate.
Data Logging
With its built-in data logger, the Well Sounder records static water level and the pumped volume at a user-selectable interval between 1 second and 60 minutes for the duration of the test. Once the test in complete, the Well Sounder connects to a computer via USB. The data file can be imported into Excel and graphed or printed and attached to a report. The equipment is easily stored and transported in a hard-sided carrying case.

Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo Manages Monitoring Efforts in Morro Bay
California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly, SLO), has been monitoring Morro Bay for decades, and while the monitoring program has changed over the years, the dedication to monitoring the bay has remained the same. 
 
The project started in 2006 as a Packard Foundation-funded initiative to monitor water quality flowing in and out of Morro Bay. The goal at the time was to use the data collected to develop and inform an ecosystem-based management plan in collaboration with the Morro Bay National Estuary Program (MBNEP). 
 
Since the estuary was the focus at the time, researchers were monitoring water flowing into the estuary from Chorro Creek and Los Osos Creek.

While the bay of Green Bay has been referred to as the largest freshwater “estuary” in the world, the watershed hosts intensive agriculture and contributes one-third of Lake Michigan’s total phosphorus load. 
 
 The Fox River flows into the bay, carrying excess nutrients largely the result of non-point source runoff from the watershed. With a history of deterioration extending well into the last century, the bay ecosystem suffered significant declines in water quality. 
 
 This, in turn, stimulated major clean-up and ongoing restoration efforts to improve water quality. Tracking these changes is an important aspect of ecosystem management.

The Tijuana River runs across the US-Mexico boundary, flowing into and throughout southern California, carrying with it nutrients and contaminants throughout the estuary. In recent decades, the flows have been heavily polluted with untreated sewage from the City of Tijuana. 
 
The wastewater enters the greater Tijuana River estuary, impacting coastal communities and disrupting the natural environment. In order to better understand these cross-border flows, researchers out of San Diego University sought to monitor the waterway test the capabilities of in-situ sensors to measure the contaminated water. 
 
Natalie Mladenov and Trent Biggs were two of the researchers involved in the project, deploying a real-time monitoring system in May of 2021.
