Overview
The Geotech disposable bailers come in a variety of configurations and specifications for every type of water sampling requirement, including the most demanding.
Design
Geotech's Orbit Flux design fills 33% faster than other bailers. V-notch design for trouble-free cord attachment and accurate pouring. As heavy as most double-weighted without the extra cost.
Manufacturing
Made of virgin, FDA-approved, high-density poly resin. The polyethylene used contains no plasticizers or additives, and no regrinds are accepted. Geotech polyethylene bailers go through independent laboratory testing and analysis on each material lot.
Model Options
- Optional double check valve: Isolates the sample, sealing as the bailer is removed from the well at specific depths.
- Pressurized disposable bailer available: Special bailer provides the convenience of using in-line dispos-a-filters in the field when pumps are not available.

Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network: Building Trust in Citizen Science Programs
Citizen science programs have popped up across the United States, focusing on connecting local communities with nearby water resources and building a trustworthy data pool over the sampling period. While commonly utilized as a means of ensuring that large watersheds or lake regions are adequately sampled, the credibility and success of such programs have been called into question.

Stream velocity measurements can be combined with water level measurements to calculate stream flow and chemical parameter loads.

In the eastern basin of Lake Erie, off the coast of Dunkirk, New York, a data buoy collects valuable water quality, weather, and wave data that inform residents and regulatory groups of conditions on the water. 
 
Since 2011, Buffalo State University’s Great Lakes Center has maintained and operated the Dunkirk buoy with funding from the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) and field support from the NYSDEC Lake Erie Fisheries Research Unit.

Lightweight and easy to use, the SonTek CastAway offers a convenient 3-in-1 solution for measuring conductivity, temperature, and depth profiles. At a 5 Hz sampling rate, the CastAway is designed for up to 1 m/s free-fall through the water column. 
 
 With fast response and accurate conductivity, temperature, and depth measurements, the CastAway is ideal for thermocline and halocline profiling. The unit also reports salinity and speed of sound.
