Water Hardness TNTplus chemistry and your Hach spectrophotometer are engineered to simplify water analysis for accurate results, everytime.
For photometric determination of Water Hardness (Calcium + Magnesium) by the Metalphthalein method. Traditional Magnesium measurement has often involved time consuming titrations requiring expensive glassware and subjective end point determination by difficult to see color changes.
With Water Hardness TNTplus reagents, simply add included reagents and sample to the vial, invert to mix, and insert into your Hach spectrophotometer! The Direct Read Technology will provide your Calcium, Magnesium and Water Hardness results to the nearest mg/L! No more cleaning glassware, dealing with large amounts of waste, and worrying about human errors.
Upgrade from traditional titration based methods to TNTplus Water Hardness reagents today! 25 Water Hardness vials per box.

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.
