A power plant near Lake of Egypt in southern Illinois is constantly working to produce energy, but all of the activity creates stress to the plant's infrastructure. Water from the lake is routinely pumped in to help keep the equipment from overheating and then discharged back into the reservoir. Plant managers deployed a NexSens CB-450 Data Buoy to help ensure the water returning to the reservoir is properly cooled so it doesn't impact the local ecosystem.

More than 4 million people rely on the Huron-to-Erie corridor for drinking water. Unfortunately, the rivers in the area have been subjected to contaminant spills and discharge over the years, leaving the St. Clair River as an Area of Concern. To help clean the rivers and protect the drinking water for those 4 million people, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality created a large-scale monitoring network. This involves data loggers at multiple sites, including Marine City, along with multi-parameter sondes, fluorometers, spectrometers, and carbon analyzers.
