Overview
The Proactive Poseidon is engineered for pump tests and groundwater remediation. The Poseidon series pump line will fit into Schedule 40 or 80 2" diameter wells. The models available are: Poseidon 60 (pumps 60 feet depth to water) and Poseidon 80 (pumps 80 feet depth to water).
Easy Installation
The Poseidon pumps are easy to install and operate. Simply attach 3/8" ID polyethylene tubing to the barb tip using a hose clamp and attach suspension rope to the eye hook provided on top of the pump. Then, lower the pump to the desired water depth and energize the pump with a deep cycle marine battery and/or a small solar system.
Long Life Expectancy
The approximate life expectancy of the Poseidon motor module is 400 hours, depending on how often it is used. The patented replaceable motor module can be changed out within 60 seconds, eliminating downtime or expensive service calls. Just twist in the new motor module and start pumping again. Once the new motor module is installed, the pump is essentially new and will have a life span identical to a new pump. The Poseidon pump ships with one motor module installed on the pump. Additional motor modules can be purchased as needed.

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.
