Overview
The dipper-T2 is a rugged and dependable water level meter made from high-quality materials, easy to use for a wide variety of applications. The dipper-T2 is capable of measuring both static and falling head levels. Static mode is used for measuring the depth of water in wells, boreholes, and standpipes. DrawDown mode is used to measure falling water levels during purging, well development, and low flow sampling, helping to protect the pump from damage caused by dry running.
Choice of Steel Tape
The Heron dipper-T2 is renowned for its premium, polyethylene-coated yellow steel tape accuracy in measuring depth to water. Available in metric or engineering scale.
- Premium Stainless Steel Polyethylene Coated Tape
- 5/8” (15.9mm) Water Level Probe (IP68) w/ holder
- Electronic Panel with audio and visual signals (Fully Encapsulated to IP65)
- Sensitivity dial to tune out cascading water
- Vinyl, ergonomic holding grip
- 9V Battery
- Backpack Carrying Case w/ adjustable straps, laptop & notepad pouches

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.
