Monitoring Coastal Sites

Coastal applications require durable instruments that can withstand corrosion, biofouling, and powerful hydrologic events. Changing water density and temperature create unique challenges when monitoring water level. In-Situ^® Inc. offers Level TROLL^® and Aqua TROLL^® instruments that meet coastal challenges and provide accurate data. Applications can include:

"We first tried the Level TROLL^® 500 at The Rigolets, the saltwater outlet of Lake Pontchartrain to the Gulf of Mexico. The sensor's titanium body stood up against zebra mussels, barnacles, and the corrosive effects of saltwater, making it more reliable than any other instrument we've used in this challenging environment." – Bill Emmett (ret.), U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, New Orleans District
