WATER / WASTEWATER 53 New miniaturised self-cleaning water quality probe


Aquaread has introduced a new multiparameter water quality probe featuring a new, much smaller self-cleaning system called the AP-6000. Before now, if automated cleaning of the probe’s sensors was required, the larger 77mm diameter AP-7000 Aquaprobe would have to be used. In certain applications, the size of this probe could be problematic, especially for bore-hole monitoring. The new AP-6000 has a diameter of only 55mm, making it a better fit for bore-hole based applications, whilst its smaller size reduces the cost of ownership.


The AP-6000 is supplied with all of the favourite water monitoring parameters such as pH, EC, dissolved oxygen, temperature and even depth. There are also 4 Aux sockets that allow you to add further sensors to the probe customising your data output, depending on the application’s requirements.


The small self-cleaning system is removable from the probe body and contains a small but powerful motor allowing the wiper brushes to rotate and clean all of the sensors fitted to the probe. Advantages of this set up include ease of maintenance and also a reduced power requirement, both of which are beneficial for unmanned deployments.


The AP-6000 is a versatile water monitoring probe. It is small enough to be supplied in a carry case for portable use with the GPS Aquameter, but thanks to its self-cleaning system it can also be deployed with an Aqualogger for a medium-term deployment. Where this new product shines is when it’s combined with a telemetry system to make your data accessible online.


Aquaread customers now have another choice for their remote monitoring requirements in the AP-6000 with its large number of measured parameters, small diameter, reduced power demand and lower cost of ownership. These features, in combination with a fresh and simple approach to telemetry, make it the ideal choice for effective long-term remote monitoring.

Water level datalogger helps ensure climate change readiness


For More Info, email: email:


Significant weather and hydrologic events in the north Kootenay Lake area of British Columbia, Canada spurred citizens in the region to start taking an active role in preparing for a changing climate.

This community concern led to the establishment of the Kootenay Watershed Science (KWS) – a community-driven project that has taken the lead in understanding how climate change will impact the small and medium-sized watersheds in their region.


The KWS project focuses on collecting and sharing important data on which to base future decisions in land use and development, conservation, emergency preparedness, water supply allocation, and more.


To date, the program has established two high-elevation snow course sites, three climate stations, and seven hydrometric stations. Data is collected on snowpack, precipitation, temperature, water quantity, and more.


In 2012, Solinst Leveloggers were installed in five KWS hydrometric stations and two more were added at stations in 2017. The Leveloggers are deployed in streams in either a perforated PVC or steel pipe, combined with a staff gauge.


The Leveloggers are set to log water level and temperature every 15 minutes, providing a detailed record of water level fluctuations. The frequency allows them to download the data just twice a year.


Paul Saso, Hydrologist with Kootenay Watershed Science, says the original decision to go with Solinst Leveloggers was based on reputation, good accuracy, reasonable price, and reliability. “They have a great reputation and have definitely lived up to it” Paul noted.


Solinst recently donated seven Leveloggers and Barologgers to replace the dataloggers that have been recording for almost 10 years.


The Levelogger water level data is used to calculate discharge in the streams. Water level data is converted to discharge by determining the relationship between stage and discharge, using streamflow measured at a number of different stages through time to create the Stage Discharge rating curve.


The data collected by KWS is made available on the Columbia Basin Water Hub, which provides quality-controlled water- related data via an open-source database developed and formally launched in 2021 by Living Lakes Canada.

Data management platform to allow water monitoring agencies to acquire, process, model, and publish water


information in near real-time OTT HydroMet now offers Aquarius in Europe for continuous monitoring of water information in near real-time. Aquarius is a data management platform ideal for numerous hydrology applications, most notably flood, groundwater, water availability, and water quality. The platform allows customers to harness the power of data integration at the push of a button and transform data to knowledge.


The introduction of Aquarius to OTT HydroMet follows the acquisition of Aquatic Informatics, the parent company of Aquarius, to Danaher’s Water Quality Platform. Aquatic Informatics provides software solutions that address critical water data management, analytics, and compliance challenges for the global water industry.


“I am thrilled to now include Aquarius in our OTT HydroMet offerings in Europe,” said Danail Kuzarow, OTT HydroMet Sales and Service Director of Hydrology. “Aquarius will allow customers to improve decision-making to enable better outcomes.
