On top of Harry's Ridge is a monitoring station powered by solar panels. In the middle distance is the highway and on the right middle is the Johnston Ridge Observatory, where we began hiking.
Monitoring well
Groundwater is the general term used to describe the water that has permeated into the surface of the earth and formed underground water lakes that are known as aquifers. The level of groundwater is monitored by special measuring instruments within so called monitoring wells. Monitoring wells are wells with a small diameter drilled into the ground, which are used for level monitoring of groundwater and water quality analysis.
Aquifers form an underground water reservoir where water reaches impermeable material such as a solid rock layer. Yet, it does not have a flat level top as we would expect with surface water, due to the difference in permeability of the surrounding soil, which complicates the measurement of level within the underground reservoir. They may also form at different depths and it is therefore not unusual to find several different aquifers at different depths in the same area. To learn more about this resource of water and to monitor the level of these reservoirs, monitoring wells are bored and used for level monitoring.
The water monitor (Varanus salvator) is a large lizard native to South and Southeast Asia. Water monitors are one of the most common monitor lizards found throughout Asia, and range from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and India to Indochina, the Malay Peninsula, and various islands of Indonesia, living in areas close to water.

Really love these large reptiles. I see them regularly in the wild but they are usually not as large as this one.

Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback!

WEEK 24 – RRT, Greenville Kmart
Directly between that door and the pharmacy box (which are practically beside each other) was this old health monitor center! Unfortunately, if the old K-mart logo was on the side, it had long since faded away by my visit. But I still thought this shot would be cool to get :)

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)

Night-time platypus monitoring at Olinda Creek, Lilydale.
As part of our role as waterways manager, Melbourne Water conducts regular surveys of platypus populations in rivers and creeks. These surveys are about monitoring the health of our waterways and the animals that live in them.

The lace monitor or lace goanna (Varanus varius) is a member of the monitor lizard family, Australian members of which are commonly known as goannas. It belongs to the subgenus Varanus.
Lace monitors are the second-largest monitor in Australia after the perentie. They can be as long as 2.1 m with a head-and-body length of up to 76.5 cm. The tail is long and slender and about 1.5 times the length of the head and body.The maximum weight of lace monitor can be 20 kg , but most adults are much smaller.
These common terrestrial and often arboreal monitors are found in eastern Australia and range from Cape Bedford on Cape York Peninsula to south-eastern South Australia. They frequent both open and closed forests and forage over long distances (up to 3 km a day).
Getting to see my 4k GH4 footage on a 4k monitor for the first time. I think I could get used to this!

The ornate monitor is a species of monitor lizards native to West Africa. They live in lowland rainforests. Ornate and Nile monitors are often confused. Although they have somewhat similar markings, they are very different animals, and they are now recognized as separate species. There are many simple ways to tell them apart, look at the tongue.
A Nile monitor has a dark blue or purple-blue tongue. An ornate monitor has a pink tongue.

There are several of these remote monitoring sites along the Dempster Hwy.
Often used to check the condition of the road where thawing permafrost or erosion has caused the highway bed to collapse. Sometimes there are cameras installed to document these changes.

I couldn't believe the beautiful pattern on this Crocodile Monitor Lizard at the Calgary Zoo. It looks as if it is made from exquisite, fine, beadwork! Truly amazing!
"Varanus salvadorii, first described in 1878, is the largest species of monitor lizard found in New Guinea, and is believed to be one of the longest lizards in the world, reaching up to 244 cm (8.0 ft). It is an arboreal lizard with a dark green body and yellowish bands, a blunt snout and a very long tail. It lives in mangrove swamps and coastal rain forests in the southeastern part of the island, where it feeds on birds, small mammals, eggs, and carrion in the wild, using teeth that are better adapted than those of most monitors for seizing fast-moving prey. Like all monitors it has anatomical features that enable it to breathe more easily when running than other lizards can, and V. salvadorii is thought to have greater stamina than most monitors. Little is known about its reproduction and development, as the species is very difficult to breed in captivity.
V. salvadorii is threatened by deforestation and poaching, and is protected by the CITES (Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species) agreement. The lizard is hunted and skinned alive by tribesmen to make drums, who describe the monitor as an evil spirit that "climbs trees, walks upright, breathes fire, and kills men". However they also say that it gives them warnings if there are crocodiles nearby." From Wikipedia.
This is an old monitor which serves as the base for the new bed. Muahahahaha. The story takes an evil turn to scrapping an old monitor.
