Saltwater Intrusion and Sea Level Rise Monitoring in New Jersey
Frequently, water withdrawals for public supply are made from the freshwater reaches of rivers and streams across new Jersey. Overall, there is a lack of scientific information describing the movement of saltwater upstream into the tributaries discharging into Delaware Bay. This project is beginning to collect water quality data along three selected tributaries in New Jersey to Delaware Bay in an...

Maurice River Cross Sections
An example of a Maurice River longitudinal profile survey on 6/30/2022. The average specific conductivity is shown at each cross-section. The transects help demonstrate the relationship between specific conductivity and distance upstream from the mouth of the Maurice River.

Sonde Sensor
Multiparameter sonde used to measure water temperature and specific conductance at each Telemetry Gage location. The sonde is hard-wired into the gage and provides real-time timeseries data.

Greenwich Housing
The multiparameter sonde is housed in a gray PVC pipe and co-located at a Tide Telemetry Gage at USGS 01413038 -Cohansey River at Greenwich NJ. Similarly, the Bivalve, Maureicetown, and Hancocks Telemetry Gages are installed the same way.
