Pushing Progress: The Challenges of Groundwater Data Collection in Humanitarian and Development Work
Within the humanitarian and development sector, monitoring is rarely carried out, and even when it is, data are often inaccessible and of poor quality. Without routine and systematic monitoring of groundwater, we cannot understand or sustainably manage these resources for the benefit of the poorest and most marginalised people in the world. The absence of monitoring can lead to costly and disastrous consequences.
At a time when political and financial support for International Aid and Development is under huge pressure, In-Situ has invited two Hydrogeologists – one the CEO of UK Aid Agency, Groundwater Relief and the other an Independent Hydrogeologist, and former Director of In-Situ Europe - to share practical experiences and provide some insights into how groundwater monitoring can transform understanding of water resources and their management in humanitarian and development work.
Paradigm Shifts in Water Quality Sensor Design

In this webinar, David Bossie examines old beliefs about monitoring and reveals the technology that has improved your ability to create a successful long-term monitoring network.
Top 3 Reasons to Switch to Long-Term Harmful Algal Bloom Monitoring
Long-term harmful algal bloom monitoring is easier to manage than ever before. Better instrumentation and drift-resistant sensors have changed the game — basically eliminating every reason to skip this important measure. And given the increasing prevalence of toxic blooms and their potential threat to public health and economic stability, early detection is more important than ever.
Join In-Situ Application Development Manager Eric Robinson for a practical discussion on why and how to make long-term HAB monitoring an effective and affordable part of your water quality program.
Using Turbidity as a Surrogate for Estimating Suspended Sediment Concentration and Discharge
Two laboratory analytical methods — suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) and total suspended solids (TSS) are predominantly used to quantify concentrations of suspended sediment in surface waters. These two terms are often erroneously used interchangeably, but using the TSS method instead of SSC for surface waters can produce considerably different results and negatively affect the successful assessment and remediation of sediment-impaired waters.
In the second installment of his turbidity webinar series, Larry Freeman discusses the use of continuous, in situ turbidity data as a surrogate for SSC to improve the accuracy and comparability of suspended sediment concentration in surface water.
How to Optimize Phosphate Removal Processes in Wastewater Through Real-Time Monitoring
Permitted discharge limits of phosphate have been tightening over the last decade and are set to become more stringent across the globe.
Traditional treatment processes are unable to meet these lower limits and existing chemical methods are often based on dosing chemicals at a flat rate, leading to unsustainable use of the raw materials.
This one-hour presentation explores how increased monitoring of phosphate in wastewater systems can increase overall efficiency by reducing chemical usage and prolong the life of existing removal techniques while still meeting ever more rigorous permit limits.

Understanding Suspended Sediments, Solids, and Turbidity
Different standard methods of turbidity field measurement are recommended based on the desired outcome and program protocol requirements. In this webinar, Larry Freeman walks through the definition of these methods, defines which indicators should be monitored based on a specific application, and discusses the confusion between TSS, TDS, and SSC.
How to Get the Most of Your Transducer Data
Consultants and government agencies dealing with environmental and water resources issues across the United States install transducers in monitoring wells to collect millions of groundwater level measurements daily. Typically, the analytical focus is on water level fluctuation over time. Such a focus deals only with long-term trends or, at best, a signature of a nearby pumping well. The information that can be extracted from the time domain is only a small part of a much larger picture; this is due to the limitations of tools that analyze data in the time domain. By switching to the frequency domain and using signal processing tools, it is possible to extract a full range of valuable information.
Join In-Situ and Ramboll Environ to learn how to get the most out of your transducer data through new methodologies using signal processing tools.
