The Solinst Bladder Pump features a new design providing consistent, high-quality samples in all types of applications. It offers excellent performance and reliability. With Solinst Bladder Pumps, there is the assurance that there is no air/water contact during sampling. It meets the most rigorous US EPA standards for VOC groundwater monitoring.
The bladder guarantees that drive air or gas does not contact the sample, thus avoiding degassing or contamination. Solinst Bladder Pumps are rugged and long-lasting. Santoprene bladders are ideal for dedication, however, the new easy-to-replace bladder cartridges are excellent for those who prefer to change bladders after each use. The bladder and intake filters are simply replaced in the field in just a few minutes—no special tools are required.
Excellent for either regular flow or low flow sampling, the stainless steel pumps can lift from depths up to 150 m (500 ft) below grade. The new PVC Bladder Pump operates up to 100 ft (30 m) below grade.

Marine carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) removal (mCDR) is an emerging strategy that aims to fight climate change by taking advantage of the carbon capture potential of our oceans. There are multiple types of mCDR approaches being evaluated globally, one of which is ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE). 
 
 According to NOAA , OAE aims to increase the pH of water by either adding alkaline material to ocean surface waters or by removing acid from seawater. Due to the change in acidity, the chemistry of seawater changes, making it capable of absorbing greater volumes of CO 2 .

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.
