Overview
The Stainless Steel Monsoon XL pump is capable of pumping up to 120 feet from ground level by simply connecting it to a 12-volt battery and controller. When using the Low Flow with Power Booster 2 XL LCD Controller and low flow control valve, the pump can sample as low as 10mL per minute from any depth.
Maintenance
The main wear-out parts, the motor and seal, have been incorporated into a single replaceable motor module. Should the existing replaceable motor module fail in the field, a new replaceable motor module can be installed within 60 seconds by a simple quarter-turn twist! Once installed, the pump is essentially new and will have a life span identical to that of a new pump.

Choptank River watershed nitrate monitoring targets conservation efforts
A nutrient monitoring effort throughout a degraded Chesapeake Bay watershed is helping chart the path of nitrate through the system. The monitoring is part of a plan to target federally funded agricultural conservation practices to the places in the watershed that need them most. 
 
The Choptank River is among one of the largest tributaries to the Chesapeake Bay, a system plagued by excess nutrients. The Choptank flows across the Delmarva Peninsula, a 170-mile-long piece of land that makes up the bay's eastern shore. 
 
More than half of the Choptank's watershed is covered in agricultural land, which is part of the reason the river has been listed as impaired under Clean Water Act standards for nutrients and sediment.

California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly, SLO), has been monitoring Morro Bay for decades, and while the monitoring program has changed over the years, the dedication to monitoring the bay has remained the same. 
 
The project started in 2006 as a Packard Foundation-funded initiative to monitor water quality flowing in and out of Morro Bay. The goal at the time was to use the data collected to develop and inform an ecosystem-based management plan in collaboration with the Morro Bay National Estuary Program (MBNEP). 
 
Since the estuary was the focus at the time, researchers were monitoring water flowing into the estuary from Chorro Creek and Los Osos Creek.
