Title: YSI Network Monitors Water Quality in Shale Gas Drilling Region

The Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC), based in Harrisburg, Penn., has established a 50-station remote water quality monitoring network to provide continuous, real-time data on local streams and rivers in an effort to determine whether fracking is impacting water quality in the basin. Each station consists of a YSI 6600 V2-4 multiparameter sonde in a protective PVC housing tethered to the streambank and connected to a data platform. Dataloggers are connected to cell modems—or if a cell signal is unavailable, a satellite transmitter—and powered by a solar panel.
