Field notes
The site groups applications by the question being investigated: where groundwater enters a stream, what a borehole does over winter, or where injected fluid travels in a well. It describes a shared enclosure, firmware and data stack across configurations, with acoustic sensing available as an added tile or from the start. The page says standard equipment can be adapted or built to order when a site requires it.
