Measure. Monitor. Manage: A Broad Range of Tools to Assess Impacts
Water monitoring starts with a clear question: how are levels changing, what conditions support aquatic life, and how does weather influence the site? HOBO data loggers and stations collect water level, water quality, water temperature, and weather measurements to help researchers and water managers understand conditions across wells, streams, lakes, wetlands, and coastal environments.
Track groundwater recharge with pressure-based level loggers, compare stream temperatures across habitats, or measure dissolved oxygen, conductivity, salinity, and pH with suitable sensors. Add rainfall and other weather measurements to put changes in context. Choose Bluetooth loggers for scheduled field visits or a configured cellular station for remote data access and threshold alerts. Together, these measurements support environmental assessments, restoration studies, and reporting programs when collected using appropriate deployment and quality-control methods.

HOBO MX20 Water Level Logger
The HOBO MX20 records pressure and temperature for water-level studies in wells, streams, lakes, and tidal areas. Choose from available depth ranges and stainless steel or titanium housings to suit the deployment environment. Bluetooth data offload uses the HOBOconnect app during field visits. Convert absolute-pressure records to water level using appropriate barometric reference data and site settings. This is a field data-collection workflow; the logger does not provide its own cellular connection.
HOBO MX20L Water Level Logger
The HOBO MX20L offers Bluetooth data collection for water-level and temperature studies in wells, streams, wetlands, and tidal areas. Its non-vented polypropylene housing is suitable for freshwater and saltwater deployments, with several depth ranges available. Use HOBOconnect to configure the logger, download measurements, and process pressure data into water level. Plan for an appropriate barometric reference, secure mounting, and field access for data collection and maintenance.
