Overview
The Gedotech Geosub Controller is designed specifically for use with Geotech's Geosub 2 Stainless Steel Pump. It provides a safe, conditioned variable DC output power from an AC power source. Built-in sensing gives the operator accurate and precise control over the pump during sampling events.
Battery Life
An average 1000-watt gasoline generator with 1 gallon of gasoline will operate the Geosub Controller and Geotech's sampling pump at full power for 18 hours continuously. Generally, much longer run times can be expected as the controller is used to reduce water flow for low-flow sampling.
Design
An easy-to-use programmable user interface with a bright display offers precise control over flow rates during groundwater sampling events. Site-specific settings and conditions can easily be stored and recalled for more efficient, repeatable sampling events. Rugged construction and easy-to-connect cables make setup and portability a breeze. In addition, the controller includes a user-set dry run protection feature.
Benefits
- Converts AC Voltage to variable up to 300-watt DC voltage output
- Short circuit protection for your safety
- Heavy duty rated power cable for years of service
- 2-line x 16-character wide temperature range alpha-numeric digital display
- Push button Up/Down control
- Internal processor saves individual well parameters
- Optional DC to AC Inverter can be connected to a vehicle battery

From Pans to Buoys: Advancing Reservoir Evaporation Rate Monitoring in Texas
In warmer climates like Texas, high reservoir evaporation rates can lead to declines in water level and water availability during droughts, making monitoring essential in order to ensure water security during times of scarcity. 
 
According to the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB), evaporation rates in Texas were previously based on data collected from a sparse network of Class A evaporation stations, dating back to the 1960s. These pans were stationed near reservoirs and still remain a widely accepted standardized approach to measuring evaporation rates on land. 
 
Monthly pan-to-lake coefficients were developed in the 1980s to connect the data collected from the pans to known lake conditions, extrapolating evaporation rates of the lakes using the pan data.

The United Kingdom has grappled with wastewater management problems for decades. Although sewage treatment in the 20th century allowed many rivers, including the tidal Thames, to have healthy fish populations, combined sewer overflows into rivers–most commonly during heavy rainfall–affected water quality and occasionally even killed fish. 
 
Problems reached a head in 2012 when multiple infractions of European urban wastewater treatment laws threatened costly fines, on top of the environmental cost of repeated sewage spills into British rivers. 
 
Fast forward to 2025, and after a decade of construction work, London’s Thames Tideway Tunnel , affectionately dubbed the “super sewer”, is now fully activated and ready for testing.

In one history, Whangārei Harbor, nestled in the lush hills of New Zealand’s North Island, gets its name from the Māori, “waiting for the breastbone of the whale.” It seems fitting, then, that it’s now home to state-of-the-art acoustic monitoring buoys listening for marine mammals around the clock. 
 
In September 2024, a team from Auckland-based underwater acoustics firm Cetaware Ltd installed NexSens buoys in Northport, a major commercial port at the entrance to the Whangārei Harbor. 
 
The first buoys to be installed by Cetaware in a permanent setting running 24/7, they use real-time artificial intelligence (AI) models to passively sense Delphinidae–from common dolphins to orcas.
