Overview
The Sontek FlowTracker2 ADV probe can be used in the field with the handheld display, or it can be used in the lab with direct PC connection. The ADV’s acoustic probe and processing electronics are housed in one small, lightweight, easily maneuverable unit, and the acoustic head has an optional, integrated pressure (depth) sensor.

Mechanics
Depth data are even correctable for dynamic pressure (Bernoulli) and altitude effects using SonTek’s patent-pending method. Setup of the probe and PC software is simple and mistake-proof. Just connect the cables between the probe and a laboratory PC or laptop, check a few settings, and press the “Start Logging” button. Data are output directly to a .CSV file that is immediately ready for use in the project, model, or database as required.

Questions & Answers
What is the purpose of the optional depth sensor?
During a discharge measurement, a typical user will read the water depth from wading rod markings. With a the integrated depth sensor, water depth can be measured automatically, reducing human error in the field and providing increased accuracy.

Data-Driven Advocacy on the Lower Deschutes River

Like many freshwater environments, the Deschutes River in Oregon is under pressure from development, pollution, and climate change. Many rivers, streams and lakes in the Deschutes Basin do not meet Oregon water quality standards –where state water quality monitoring assesses levels of bacteria, pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and fine sediment. Hannah Camel is the Water Quality Coordinator for the Deschutes River Alliance (DRA), a non-profit organization that focuses on the health of the lower 100 miles of the Deschutes River–the area most affected by human intervention. As a data-driven organization, the DRA has benefited from the installation of two NexSens X2 data loggers.

Expanding the Port Everglades: Real-Time Monitoring of Water Quality Conditions from Planned Dredging Operation

The Port Everglades in Broward County, Florida, serves large trade vessels and cruiseliners and incoming and outgoing recreational boaters. However, as cargo ships become larger, the port must expand. A dredging project led by the US Army Corps of Engineers will substantially deepen and widen the port's navigation channel to accommodate larger Panamax cargo ships and modern cruise liners. As a result of this project, a large amount of sediment will be displaced into the water column. This suspended sediment may settle outside of the project area, burying benthic organisms like corals, and possibly carrying harmful particulates to other regions. [caption id="attachment_39497" align="aligncenter" width="2560"] A CB-950 and CB-25 deployed on site at Port Everglades.

It’s Time to React to Water Quality: Proteus Multiparameter Probe aboard NexSens Buoy

Water quality monitoring is essential for safeguarding public health, protecting ecosystems, and ensuring the sustainability of water resources. Contaminants such as industrial pollutants, agricultural runoff, and sewage discharge can severely impact aquatic life and pose serious risks to human health if left unchecked. Traditionally, water quality monitoring has been a slow and labor-intensive process, requiring samples to be collected, transported to a lab, and analyzed—a process that can take days. However, with the advancement of real-time sensor technology, environmental agencies, researchers, and industries can now monitor water quality instantly.
