Overview
The Van Essen Baro-Diver ensures accurate capture of changes in atmospheric pressure. Conveniently priced and easy to adjust, one Baro-Diver covers a radius of up to 15 km, depending on the topography. The Baro-Diver can also be used for measuring shallow water levels up to approximately 1.5 meters.
Memory
The Baro-Diver has an internal memory capable of storing 72,000 measurements per parameter with new backup memory feature. For each measurement, the Van Essen Baro-Diver simultaneously registers barometric pressure, air temperature, date and time.
Applications
- Monitor potable water recharge areas for water supply
- Monitor tailing ponds, dewatering activities and water supply levels of mines
- General site investigations for construction
- Contaminant plume monitoring on spill sites, remediation sites, chemical storage facilities, landfill sites and hazardous waste storage sites

Van Essen Diver-Link Cellular Telemetry System with Diver-Hub
The Van Essen Diver-Link Cellular Telemetry System enables professionals to monitor water level, conductivity and temperature readings from their home or office. The near real-time data allows scientists, managers, and other environmental professionals to monitor flood events, well depths and groundwater levels. 
 
 Long-term monitoring allows users to develop trends on ever-changing climate conditions. The Van Essen Divers ( CTD-Diver, Cera-Diver, TD-Diver and Mirco-Diver) work well for monitoring water supply, tailing ponds, dewatering, contaminant plumes and hazardous waste storage sites . 
 
 The Diver-Link allows users to monitor groundwater via the Diver-Hub Web Portal for real-time management of site data, equipment and water levels.

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.

While the bay of Green Bay has been referred to as the largest freshwater “estuary” in the world, the watershed hosts intensive agriculture and contributes one-third of Lake Michigan’s total phosphorus load. 
 
 The Fox River flows into the bay, carrying excess nutrients largely the result of non-point source runoff from the watershed. With a history of deterioration extending well into the last century, the bay ecosystem suffered significant declines in water quality. 
 
 This, in turn, stimulated major clean-up and ongoing restoration efforts to improve water quality. Tracking these changes is an important aspect of ecosystem management.
