Overview
The Van Essen TD-Diver is a reliable instrument for autonomous measuring and recording of groundwater level and temperature. Its internal memory of 72,000 measurements per parameter provides sufficient capacity to perform nearly one measurement every hour for 8 years. A new backup memory feature enhances data integrity. For each measurement, the Diver registers the date and time, groundwater level, and temperature.
Precision
The Van Essen TD-Diver is an easy-to-use datalogger featuring state-of-the-art electronics and a robust high-precision pressure sensor for long-term accuracy. The absolute pressure sensor requires minimal maintenance and re-calibration.
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

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.
