Sediment sampling
The manually driven, end-filling SBS Sediment Sampler is designed for discrete interval sediment sampling in rivers, lakes, wetlands, and estuaries. To obtain a sample, simply lower the sampler to the surface as a dual tube or drive the sampler down to the desired depth where sampling is to begin below the surface. Once sampling is complete, the sampler disassembles for access to the sample liners that can then be capped off for transport to the lab.

Greenhouse gas monitoring
MWH has released a new tool to calculate carbon emissions. The tool, named mCO2™, calculates and analyzes an organization's greenhouse gas emissions to help them develop carbon reduction programs for meeting government regulations. The system collects all direct and indirect sources of greenhouse gas emissions produced by municipalities, industrial facilities or other companies. It then automatically converts this data into actionable reports and a gap analysis of the organization's carbon emission levels against regulatory compliance targets. mCO2™ was developed from a proprietary technology and process used by MWH in the United Kingdom, where more than 50 percent of water facilities are currently using the tool.
