Tips for Selecting Monitoring Sites, Deploying Instruments, and Developing SOPs

It takes effort to collect good field data that is of known and documented quality. While it can be challenging, continuous water monitoring provides critical data for improving understanding of the natural world, protecting water resources, providing warnings, and informing water policies.

Presentation of how to improve monitoring techniques to collect the best quality data possible.

Topics covered:
• Understanding sites and installations
• Instrument functionality and quality assurance
• Data management and standard operating procedures

You might be interested in this webinar if:
• You are transitioning from a sampling program to a continuous monitoring program
• You are new to continuous monitoring
• You conduct continuous monitoring and would like to learn about procedures recently developed by the Aquatic Sensor Workgroup.

Slides are now available.

The CastAway-CTD provides instant temperature, salinity and sound speed profiles. Oceanographers, hydrologists and surveyors now have the ability to quickly collect data from any dock, bridge or boat. Simply drop the CastAway in the water, pull it up, and have conductivity, temperature and depth measured in minutes!

This free webinar discusses low flow purging to obtain representative samples.

Gathering a representative sample helps ensure more accurate data and results in better sample repeatability over the course of a study.

This free webinar discusses two case studies for monitoring turbidity in streams and rivers during road construction projects and stormwater events.

- Review new US EPA discharge regulations and erosion control rules and how these affect water quality monitoring at various sites.

- Learn how to easily set up and collect in-situ, real-time turbidity data for monitoring sediment at upstream and downstream of construction sites and before, during and after storm events.

View a webinar about continuous water quality monitoring tools for improved ecosystem restoration.

• Accurately monitor baseline conditions and assess the effectiveness of restoration projects
• Stay within your budget by using automated and reliable water quality monitoring systems---we’ll show you examples
• Capture important data through high-resolution continuous monitoring---and see data right away with telemetry

Our presenters discuss high-resolution monitoring in ecosystem restoration projects, and several examples of monitoring technology---including land-based, floating and autonomous platforms as well as water quality sensors.

We also review case studies where the technology was used in ambitious coastal restoration projects in California and Louisiana.

Covered in this anti-fouling webinar:

In applications where biofouling limits the length of deployment, the copper-alloy parts in the 6-Series Anti-Fouling kit can increase deployments by 3X or longer. For programs with multiple monitoring sites, the savings in travel and labor can be significant.
