AUTOMATED PROCESS FOR MONITORING GROUND - WATER QUALITY USING ESTABLISHED MANUAL SAMPLING
PROTOCOLS
Automated Station Real-Time Data Via Voice-Modem
The automated stations can be equipped with voice modems so that an operator can call and obtain real-time measurements from a remote location. If you have a windows PC with speakers you can hear real-time data from our monitoring station.
- The station identifies itself by the USGS well number, and recites the most current measurements for:
- ground-water temperature--measured in degrees Celsius,
- the pH of ground water (a measure of acidity) measured in standard pH units,
- the specific conductance of ground water (a measure of the amount of dissolved constituents) --measured in microsiemens per centimeter at 25 degrees Celsius,
- the DO (dissolved oxygen) in ground water--measured in in milligrams per liter , and
- the water level--measured in feet below land surface.
To hear a measurement from our reactive wall monitoring site on Cape Cod:
- Click Here!
- choose to open the file from its current location, and
- when your sound player appears on-screen it should begin playing the message, if not click on the play button--usually a forward arrow to hear the voice-modem speech message.
