Overview
The Global Water WL705 Ultrasonic Water Level Sensor uses the latest ultrasonic distance measuring technology for accurate non-contact water level monitoring. The sensor contains a rugged transducer in a stainless steel sealed housing for long life and provides an industry-standard 4-20mA output. There are three ranges available, including 3, 12, and 48 ft to meet a wide variety of applications, including flumes, weirs, tanks, streams, rivers, and lakes.
Mechanics
Installation is simple and requires no programming or calibration. The sensor comes with a 6 ft cable for interface to PLC's, SCADA systems, and data loggers using the 3-wire 4-20 mA output. The WL705 Ultrasonic Water Level Sensor is also compatible with the Global Water FC220 Open Channel Flow Monitor for water level display and control.

Save our Bogs! Culture, Conservation and Climate Action in Ireland’s Peatlands
Characterized by long-term accumulation under waterlogged conditions, peatlands exist on every continent and account for 3-4% of the global land surface . Small but mighty, these often overlooked wetland environments are estimated to hold as much as one-third of the world's organic carbon in their soil—twice the amount found in the entirety of the Earth's forest biomass. While healthy peatlands can trap and store carbon, regulate water, and provide important habitats for rare species, human alteration has disturbed peatland carbon and nitrogen cycles on a global scale. Approximately 12% of the world’s peatlands have been drained and degraded through conversion for agriculture, forestry, infrastructure development, and other uses.

Sargassum Surge: How Seaweed is Transforming our Oceans and Coastal Ecosystems
Until recently, Sargassum –a free-floating seaweed–was distributed throughout the Sargasso Sea , the north Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. But in the space of a decade, this seaweed has, as one scientist remarks , “Gone from a nonfactor to the source of a terrible crisis.” Driven by climate change, anomalous North Atlantic Oscillation in 2009-2010 and a glut of anthropogenic pollutants, sargassum has proliferated. Seasonally recurrent mats as deep as 7m now bloom in the “Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt” (GASB), which covers areas of the Atlantic from West Africa to the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Every year, millions of tons wash up along the shores of more than 30 countries . Dr.

Great Lakes Research Center: Designing Targeted Monitoring Solutions
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ), the Great Lakes have more miles of coastline than the contiguous Atlantic and Pacific coasts combined and contain 20 percent of the world's freshwater, making it a critical region to protect and conserve. Continuous monitoring and data-informed resource management are key components of managing waters in the region. Hayden Henderson, a research engineer with the Great Lakes Research Center (GLRC), designs and deploys monitoring platforms throughout the Great Lakes. With a background in environmental engineering, Henderson enjoyed the challenge of creating systems and making them work to obtain difficult, remote measurements.
