Overview
The Proactive Storm 50 pump is capable of pumping up to 50 feet from ground level (DTW) by simply connecting to a 12-volt deep-cycle battery. Its reliable design is perfect for continuous sampling and purging of groundwater wells and low-flow sampling.
Mechanics
The Storm 50 is ideal for low-flow sampling in conjunction with the Low Flow Sampling Controller. Low flow sample all the way down to 40mL per minute. To achieve even a lower flow, simply add the Low Flow Sampling Control Valve in conjunction with the Low Flow Sampling controller to achieve flow rates of 1 mL per minute or less.
Note: All pumps from Proactive are manufactured from PFOA-Free Parts (Except Abyss Pump Line).

Safeguarding Communities with Real-Time Flood Monitoring in the City of Hazelwood
The City of Hazelwood is a suburb in St. Louis County, Missouri, home to around 25,500 people. Recently, the community has suffered increased flash flooding following severe storms, prompting the need for the installation of a flood monitoring system. In 2022, a NexSens X2 data logger was installed to monitor water level and rainfall in real-time, with the aim of reducing the loss of life and property as a result of extreme weather events. [caption id="attachment_39411" align="alignnone" width="940"] The latest flood event at Coldwater Creek, where the water level rose by 14 feet, exceeding the height of the X2 by three feet. The sensor can be seen behind the wall that usually contains the Creek.

Characterized by long-term accumulation under waterlogged conditions, peatlands exist on every continent and account for 3-4% of the global land surface . Small but mighty, these often overlooked wetland environments are estimated to hold as much as one-third of the world's organic carbon in their soil—twice the amount found in the entirety of the Earth's forest biomass. While healthy peatlands can trap and store carbon, regulate water, and provide important habitats for rare species, human alteration has disturbed peatland carbon and nitrogen cycles on a global scale. Approximately 12% of the world’s peatlands have been drained and degraded through conversion for agriculture, forestry, infrastructure development, and other uses.

Until recently, Sargassum –a free-floating seaweed–was distributed throughout the Sargasso Sea , the north Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. But in the space of a decade, this seaweed has, as one scientist remarks , “Gone from a nonfactor to the source of a terrible crisis.” Driven by climate change, anomalous North Atlantic Oscillation in 2009-2010 and a glut of anthropogenic pollutants, sargassum has proliferated. Seasonally recurrent mats as deep as 7m now bloom in the “Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt” (GASB), which covers areas of the Atlantic from West Africa to the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Every year, millions of tons wash up along the shores of more than 30 countries . Dr.
