New Zealand Scientists Test Pollutant Monitoring Using EnviroDIY Hardware
Researchers in New Zealand discovered that high-frequency monitoring of rivers yielded a more accurate accounting of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment loads than monthly grab samples allowed for. While high-frequency monitoring was more expensive, “the added investment is minor when weighed against the risks of poorly informed land management actions or generic policies based on limited con...[Read More]

N Ca Mayflys through the winter storms
Following on from the phased deployment envirodiy.org/mayflys-in-coastal-redwoods-northern-california I’m pleased the way my fork of ModularSensors has been working with the winter storms, in incised riparian locations with lots of vegetation around and challenging cell phone connections. The real-world in streams on the West Coast USA. Though when I dig deeper into some of the nodes d...[Read More]
Mayflies in Coastal Redwoods – Northern California
I’ve completed a deployment of remote telemetry monitoring of depth gauges with the purpose of visualizing depth readings for Trout Unlimited California.
How a Nascent Internet of Water Gave Rise to the State-of-the-Science in Sensor Data Sharing
Data producers willing to share their data are the foundation of the Internet of Water, but first and foremost, that data must serve the needs of the data producer.
Open Data and Open Hardware: Tools for Collaborative Solutions to Water Challenges
Open hardware for water monitoring, combined with a national network of technical support for community science enabled by powerful web-based data sharing and management tools, is leading a revolution in solving water pollution problems.
How Do EnviroDIY Monitoring Stations Compare With USGS Stations?
A statistical comparison of temperature, depth, conductivity, and turbidity collected by EnviroDIY and USGS equipment shows comparable measurements and helps identifies what parameters require different levels of quality control.
