Delaware Basin EnviroDIY Monitoring Stations

Station owners and managers, after a major storm like we just had in parts of the DRB it is a good idea to check your station(s) in person even if they appear to be fine.  The stations are very resilient and we identified one today that was entirely ripped out by the storm but is still transmitting.  Depth was the only red flag so if someone h…[Read more]

Error on MonitorMW presently.  As some of you have noted when you enter site pages and TSA on MonitorMW you get a “Your connection is not private” error message.  This is a problem with the MonitorMW website itself.  Limnotech engineers are currently working on a fix.  Stay tuned and check MonitorMW as you’d like and please report any other issues.

After a very busy May and June, here are updates on Rachel Johnson’s work done on sensor stations:

White Clay Creek at Egypt Run Road sensor station (SL110) – Removed sensor station on 5/25/21 as there is construction on the bridge that the station was under. Will reinstall when construction is complete.

Sandy Run (Ardsley Wildlife Sanctuary) -…[Read more]

Some features of MonitorMW are still down due to some complex server issues.  They’re still working on it but haven’t given a specific date when everything might return to normal.

@bressler

I noticed that the TSA doesn’t go past May 1.  Is that part of the Sparkline problem?

The browse sites feature is now working but the sparkline plots (panels) are not working.  This problem is being addressed and should be resolved soon.  Hang tight!

As many have noticed the Monitor My Watershed Browse Sites function is not working.  The problem is being addressed and will hopefully be resolved soon.

Data is still being collected and all of it is available if you know the site code.  For users that have their own sites or are following sites (My Sites), as a temporary fix, you can go to y…[Read more]

Your station battery is fine, it’s the old 2G cellular board that is malfunctioning.  Those boards tend to go bad after a few year and need to be replaced.  But your station needs to be upgraded to 4G LTE in the next month or two anyway, so we will be making a maintenance visit to do that as soon as we’re cleared to travel out of state again.  In…[Read more]
