Existing USGS groundwater-level networks were enhanced through: 1) the addition of newly drilled deep wells that nearly reach bedrock, and 2) conversion of discrete wells to continuous, real-time wells

Aquatic vegetation and algae are attached to polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene foam (pool noodle) floats that hold water quality sondes. These sondes were part of a Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funded project assessing eutrophication in the Grand Calumet River Area of Concern.

On July 13, 2022, USGS scientists collected water quality samples at 3 sites in support of a study on eutrophication in the Grand Calumet River Area of Concern. The site pictured here is 413704087153501 Grand Calumet Lagoon at Marquette Park at Gary, IN, which was the background site for the study. Samples were collected for nutrients and isotopes.

A float built from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene foam (pool noodles). The float holds two water quality sondes. There are algae and aquatic plants all over the float and trailing off the bottom of it.

Two floats constructed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene foam (pool noodles) float in a pool among lily pads. The floats each hold water quality sondes that collect data continuously. On the float on the left you can see the sonde hanging from the cross pieces, on the right-hand float the sondes are encased in the capped PVC tubes.
