Overview
The Van Essen Micro-Diver is the smallest Diver capable of accurately recording groundwater levels and temperature. The Micro-Diver is specifically designed for monitoring wells or drive-points too small to accommodate larger dataloggers. In addition to its compact size, the Micro-Diver’s memory capacity can store up to 48,000 measurements per parameter - almost one measurement every ten minutes for an entire year.
Compact Pressure Sensor
The Van Essen Micro-Diver is the smallest Diver with a diameter of 18 mm and a stainless steel (316 L) casing. The Micro-Diver is suitable for pipes with a diameter of at least 20 mm (0.787 in). The Diver consists of a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor and memory for storing measurements and a battery. The Diver is an autonomous datalogger that can be programmed by the user. The Diver has a completely sealed enclosure. The communication between Divers and Laptops/field devices is based on optical communication.

 Van Essen CTD-Diver Water Level & Conductivity Logger 
 
If you need to monitor groundwater levels and saltwater intrusion, injected wastewater, or contamination from chemical discharges and landfill sites, the CTD-Diver is a good choice. It features a rugged, corrosion-proof ceramic housing and is equipped with a four-electrode conductivity sensor to measure electrical conductivity from 0 to 120 mS/cm. There are two options for measuring conductivity: true or specific conductivity at 25 degrees Celsius.

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. 
 
[caption id="attachment_38996" align="alignnone" width="940"] HRWC volunteers measure stream velocity across a subsection of Woods Creek, a tributary of the Huron River near Belleville, Michigan. Stream velocity measurements can be combined with water level measurements to calculate stream flow and chemical parameter loads.
