“Duro's affordable and innovative water quality solutions are a game changer. The Duro Sonde has allowed us to easily and reliably collect continuous water quality data with its state-of-the-art IoT [Internet of Things] technology. Working with the Duro team and equipment has improved our management and understanding of river health.”

“We have been utilizing the Duro UAS Sonde units to monitor and collect data on our open water aquaculture seaweed farms in Maine as well as in our seaweed nursery and laboratory.

The units are well built, easy to deploy and operate, and supported by a great team of folks. We utilize a variety of data collection tools and the Duro units are one of the most valuable.”

“Couldn’t resist looking at this in more detail. This suggests that the reduced species are derived from the salt water, not the fresh water. The low ORP probably reflects the sulfites and other reduces species bleeding out of the sediments after being processed by the marsh sediments.

This is exactly what I have been trying to show with the discrete measurements – you can see it in the discrete data, but the continuous autonomous recording done with the Duro Sonde really nails it and shows how invaluable the autonomous data are.”
