The HOBOnet water level sensor interface features a pre-configured, easily deployed wireless sensor that communicates accurate, reliable water level data directly to a HOBO RX3000 or HOBO MicroRX station, the core component of the HOBOnet remote monitoring system.
HOBOnet is a cost-effective, scalable, user-friendly wireless sensor network that lets you streamline data retrieval by effortlessly monitoring multiple wells with a single cellular device. Data is accessed from anywhere, at any time, through the customizable dashboard in HOBOlink, Onset's innovative cloud software platform – eliminating the need for frequent site visits that are both time-consuming and costly. HOBOlink also sends automatic, real-time text/email notifications to alert you of any sensor or system alarms, providing the insights you need to make informed decisions, react quickly to stay ahead of issues, and ensure compliance.
A complete system requires at least one HOBOnet Water Level Sensor, a direct read cable, and a HOBO RX3000 Remote Monitoring Station and HOBOnet Wireless Manager (or a HOBO MicroRX Station with an integrated HOBOnet Wireless Manager). HOBOnet Wireless Repeaters can be added to extend the range.

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.
