New Study from UC San Diego for Covid-19 Wastewater Surveillance
A Study from UC San Diego Shows Covid-19 Can Be Detected In A Single Asymptomatic Person Through Wastewater Surveillance even if that person is living or working in a multi-unit dwelling. Wastewater surveillance can detect a case up to 3 to 4 days before individual testing can. Wastewater surveillance is an underused yet cost-effective, non-invasive mass testing strategy.

Water Sampling Latest Realm for Drones
A bastion of labor-intensive tasks are now been opened to machine capabilities
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 7,000 hydrologist jobs in the US in 2019. Many of those individuals continue to spend much of their time in the field performing water sampling tasks. With average salaries above $80,000 annually, the cost of all those sampling activities adds up quickly. And hydrologists aren’t the only ones tasked with performing such sampling.

High heat means high need to record records accurately. Here is how it’s done
The National Weather Service mainly uses an automated surface observing system, which measures temperatures electronically and averages them over five minutes.
“It has a tendency to moderate out a spike one way or another that could adversely impact a temperature record. So it’s actually probably a little harder to set all-time record high temperatures these days than it would have been back in 1881,” Turner says.
Bond says that with automation now, user error is...
