Overview
The Global Water PL200-G Water Pressure Datalogger makes it easy to verify low water pressure complaints, locate water pressure spikes, and provide data for water distribution system modeling. With its standard ¾" garden hose connection and compact, water-resistant enclosure, users can use the PL200-G to record water pressure data just about anywhere.
Data Collection
The unit’s massive memory buffer will store over 81,000 readings, with user-defined intervals from 1 per second to more than 1 per year. The PL200-G’s fast, 10 water pressure samples per second sampling mode allows users to capture momentary pressure spikes and dips. Programmable start and stop alarm times can be initiated to synchronize multiple PL200-G’s to start at the same time, delay starting until a preset time, or limit the number of recordings during a day.
The unit operates on two standard 9 volt batteries, which is monitored, alerting users of low-battery. Data is stored in nonvolatile flash memory so your water pressure data will be safe.
Design
The PL200-G is equipped with a standard USB data port and includes our user friendly Global Logger II Windows software, which allows for easy setup, calibration, upload, and data transfer to a spreadsheet program on your laptop or desktop PC. The Global Logger II software also has online help files that are easily accessed using drop down menus and links.
Note: 64 bit operating systems are not currently supported.

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.
