  Wow. Thankyou Stroud Water team for detailed how-tos. Fantastic stream side setup for Mayfly, as well as good reference material for how to do water quality collection.
  One comment, is that we’ve seen sensor cables being gnawed. So we’ve tended to put the cables communicating to the sensors in a flexible PVC sheath. In the West we also get deeply incised channels, so have greater cable runs to get to a radio horizon.

  Hi Neil, Good suggestion about “armoring” your cables. Others have done similar things in this region, including flexible steel electrical conduit.
