Water quality monitoring projects with the EXO sonde attached to the buoy include:
- Turbidity monitoring from small, movable buoys in dredging or construction zones.
- Total algae monitoring across a large lake or reservoir for real-time public health notifications of harmful algal blooms.
- pH monitoring for fluctuations across oyster or seagrass beds with small buoys that don't impact the environment like permanently installed structures.
- Rapid deployment for event monitoring with a system that can be installed and running within minutes.
Additionally, the EMM68 buoy now integrates the WaterLog Storm3 datalogger, one of many options for wireless data transmission via telemetry. The Storm3 offers event-triggered actions, which can change the sampling and data transmission rates when alarm thresholds have been exceeded.
A compact system of buoy, water quality sonde, datalogger, solar panel and battery is turned around in 4 weeks and ready for you to deploy. Because it is easily moved to new locations, the buoy serves a variety of monitoring tasks over the course of its ownership.
Water Quality Sensors and Data Logger Options added to Harbor Buoy
Environmental monitoring projects and more are easily accomplished with the integration of the new EXO water quality sonde into the EMM68 buoy. The buoy is deployable by two people from shore or boat, and can be moved to locations of interest to capture real-time water quality data -- in water as shallow as 1.8 meters.
