World's Deepest Cave installed with leveloggers!

You may remember in a previous post ("Towards the Centre of the Earth") that Waterra UK was supporting the Aenigma caving expedition to explore some the deepest caves on earth in the Western Caucasus.

We are delighted to report that the expedition achieved its objectives and that Aenigma descended 2,150 metres into the Krubera-Voronya cave. We are even more pleased to tell you that the devices that we provided to the expedition team survived the descent.

The team managed to record some fascinating data on water level fluctuations in the cave system, and have added additional units to study flooding patterns over the next year to improve the safety of further trips to deeper parts of the cave complex.

Waterra has a wide range of water level logging equipment available to cater for a variety of environments.

Groundwater Sampling training course - March 2010

Following on from the success of our previous training sessions we are delighted to announce that the next Groundwater Sampling training course will be held on 24 March 2010.
Delegates at a Waterra Groundwater Sampling training course

The course provides an overview of groundwater sampling methods and some of the theory and research illustrating the pros and cons of purging strategies such as "3 well volumes" and the appropriate use of low flow and passive (no purge) groundwater sampling. It is highly practical and brings together a wide range of different monitoring and sampling devices giving delegates a rare hands on opportunity to weigh up for themselves the practicalities and pros and cons of each.

Since starting this new series of groundwater courses in April 2010, we have attracted a wide range of delegates from different backgrounds. This includes new graduates through to senior environmental managers. The feedback from delegates has been highly complimentary.


"The theory of water movement in boreholes was very useful. The level of
experience and knowledge of the presenters was excellent compared to other
courses provided by consultants!"

Groundwater Products Wanted! Waterra Customer Survey 2009

We deliberately design our annual customer surveys to not only get a snapshot of your opinions about our products and services but also to get actionable feedback that helps us to improve what we do.

This year we decided to ask what other products you would like Waterra to provide. The reaction was very interesting.

Firstly you provided a short list of products and product types that we can review for inclusion in our portfolio, subject to finding quality suppliers or being able to design and build ourselves. Your requests included the following along with some of our own quick responses.



  • Light weight easily portable pump and power supply - this is something of a holy grail in groundwater sampling! At shallow depths there are several options already including inertial pumps (manually operated), peristaltic pumps and 12V submersible pumps - both the latter need battery power. At greater depths lightweight becomes less achievable, unless pumps are dedicated. We'll keep looking!


  • ATEX approved dipmeters. We are looking into this issue and hope to have a solution soon. It's worth stating that the cost of maintining certification for ATEX equipment in what is a relatively small market is extraordinarily high and this has to be reflected in the pricing.


  • Oil skimming pumps. We already can supply a range of manual skimmers, floating skimmers and hydrophobic skimmers for removing floating oil layers from boreholes! See our remediation pages.


  • Peristaltic tubing for Competitor Products. We occasionally get asked for equipment to match competitor products and we shall certainly look into this. Call our sales team - and if there is a demand we will respond.


  • Rain gauges. We already have these! - They are part of our datalogger range and you can find them amongst our range of rainlogger and rainfall data products.
We clearly need to improve the promotion of some of our products and will respond where we can to the above suggestions. Thank you!

Secondly you indicated that you saw Waterra as an ideal supplier for these products. This is great news for us because it vindicates our view that our expert pre and post sales support is an essential part of what makes Waterra successful.

So thank you, and feel free to give us more examples of groundwater monitoring equipment that you would like us to provide.

Cross Rail? No, Happy Cross Rail!

Continuous Multichannel Tubing from Waterra being used by Cross Rail in groundwater monitoring for the new London rail networkC

Cross Rail are installing Waterra CMT equipment to monitor groundwaterCWe are delighted to announce that Cross Rail have ordered 4 new CMT multilevel borehole systems to support the site investigation process for the exciting new proposed rail route across London.

The Continuous Multichannel Tubing (CMT) range chosen by Cross Rail allows detailed vertical sampling of complex groundwater environments. Specifically, hydraulic data is needed at several vertical intervals in relation ot the proposed tunnel route below Central London to investigate pore pressures and groundwater flow.

Waterra was chosen as the supplier of choice in this instance on the back of the successful trials of the CMT system over the last 2 years. It has proven to be the simplest and most economical multilevel system available for the collection of hydraulic data. It is currently being deployed at several locations on the Farringdon to Liverpool Street section of the Cross Rail route.

To find out more about our CMT capability come and talk to us at Waterra's stand, AWM115, at the Sustainabilitylive! event at the NEC Birmingham 19th-21st May 2009.

Breakthrough Low Flow Controller - Waterra UK

Waterra's Wasp F1 low flow controller device
Waterra has recently launched its WaSP-F1 12 volt low flow pump controller.

The WaSP-F1 low flow controller is designed to work with all types of 12v submersible pumps and is ideally suited to low flow groundwater sampling. The low flow controller reduces the speed of the pump motor, thereby minimising disturbance in the well and at he same time reduces battery power consumption and wear and tear on the pump itself. Flow rates can be reduced to below 0.5 litre / minute.

The controller has been produced by Waterra to meet EU regulatory requirements, particularly for CE certification of products - unlike many imported alternatives offered by our competitors. Peter Dumble, Waterra MD explains.

"Many of our clients had been looking for an easy to use device that could safely deliver low flow control with 12V pumps, and meet EU regulatory requirements. The WaSP F1 flow controller incorporates many safety features which protects both the equipment and the user in field conditions. It is manufactured in the UK and is fully CE marked to meet the stringent regulations we all work under in the European environment.

This is a product developed by listening to our customers' needs - and we are delighted to have been able to bring this to market at a time when interest in low flow sampling methods is growing".

Darfur leveloggers still reporting

Although the emergency in Darfur isn't making the headlines at present the problem hasn't gone away. There are still many people trapped in difficult circumstances with poor access to both food and water.

Waterra supplied Leveloggers to Oxfam and the Tear Fund in 2007 for automatic recording of water levels in boreholes and wells in the region. Training was provided by Waterra during 2008 to help local technicians get the most from the equipment. Part of the help that we were able to provide was with the introduction of good field practice and record keeping to improve accuracy and consistency with data collection.

The people on the ground in Darfur have been able to reduce the monitoring cycles to a level that has increased the operational life of the units whilst leaving unchanged the accuracy and effectiveness of the data being recorded. Because of the difficulties of installing the equipmentin a sometimes hostile environment the opportunity to leave the equipment in situ for longer is a great practical benefit.

The people in Darfur rely on the availability of groundwater for survival. We are just pleased to have helped in the process of making sure that supply is stable.

Gold Medal Water Level Monitoring?

Not a lot of people know it but London's East End has been the home to rather a lot of Waterra's groundwater monitoring equipment over the past 18 months.
Levelogger Gold and Junior products from Waterra. Groundwater Equipment for Professionals
Over 40 Levelogger Gold units are installed across the site of the new Olympic Aquatics Centre providing a constant flow of data about ground and surface water levels. These units are highly corrosion resistant so they will cope with high saline levels and difficult site conditions. After all they have to stay submerged for a few more years yet!

All of Waterra's technical knowledge was required in order to define the right approach for this prestigious project. Initially 36 Levelogger Juniors were installed for recording results from a series of short term pumping tests on the site, saving hundreds of hours of staff time which wiould have been necessary to do the job manually.

The Gold Medal beckons.
