High-Resolution Temporal Monitoring of an Arid, Urban Lake - Case Study
Overview Tempe Town Lake is an artificial lake located near the urban core of Tempe, AZ, derived from the damming of the Salt River. It was constructed in 1999 primarily for the use of recreation such as fishing and boating. This lake is Arizona’s second most visited tourist attraction that generated a cumulative economic impact of over $1.5 billion dollars since its creation, so it is ...

Field trial of a new commercially available diffusive ground-water sampler
Field trials of a new commercially available diffusive ground-water sampling device were conducted at two industrial properties in the Blue Ridge Province of North Carolina. The test sites have extensive monitoring well networks and more than five years of historical water quality data. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including purgeable aromatics (petroleum hydrocarbons) and halogens ...

Water quality monitoring following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
Following the passage of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans was left with 80% of its land area flooded. In some locations, the flood waters were over 30 feet deep. In the heat and stagnation, the waters quickly became heavily polluted. Pump out operations began in early September 2005 to get the city dried out quickly. Lake Pontchartrain was the primary receiving water body. A variety of approaches ...

Antifouling System Reduces Algal and Biological Growth on the In-Situ TROLL 9500 Water Quality Instrument
Abstract New regulations regarding clean water have increased the need for long-term environmental monitoring. As water quality sensor technology improves and becomes more stable, the limiting factor in these projects becomes biological and non-biological fouling of instrumentation. Biofouling of environmental equipment increases site visits and maintenance, which elevate monitoring costs. In ...
