Fixed Station Water Quality Monitoring Station Installation and maintenance
Huston B and Dingle J. 2012. Fixed Station Water Quality Monitoring Station Installation and maintenance. National Park Service
This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) outlines the procedure for installing fixed station water quality data stations. The housing that contains the YSI Model 6600 Long-term Water Quality Monitoring Data sonde (henceforth referred to as “the data sonde”) is a 4-inch diameter Schedule 40 PVC pipe, which is secured to a stable structure, such as a dock piling or channel marker. The data sonde is suspended within the housing allowing the probes to hang 1 meter from the bottom, the desired height above the sediment for consistent network-wide measurements.
