Solinst's Depth-Discrete Monitoring System Provides Accuracy and Flexibility The Solinst Waterloo multilevel groundwater monitoring system is used to obtain samples, hydraulic head, and permeability meas- urements from many discretely isolated zones in a single borehole. A number of systems at one site provide detailed 3-D groundwater information, enabling improved decision-making and more accurate site assessments. Waterloo Systems have a modular design, giving excellent site and appli- cation flexibility, allowing placement of packers, ports, sampling pumps, and pressure transducers exactly where needed. The engineered seals and dedi- cated monitoring capabilities have been used to 1000 feet. Systems can be installed in 3- and 4-inch boreholes or larger. Options are available to suit bedrock and overburden applications. www.solinst.com Constant Water System Offers Backup to Water Well Users During Power Outages Thirty million homes in the United States re- ceive their wate r from water wells, and all of these homes suffer from the same water well shortfall: They lose water when they lose power.
