HEATPULSE FLOWMETERS
The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Water Science Center in Indianapolis has issued a sole source justification to acquire two Cypress Heat Pulse Horizontal Groundwater Flowmeter Systems, including installation, support, and 12 months of monitoring, from Rapid Creek Research (RCR). The USGS has determined that the RCR heat-pulse flowmeter is the only technology capable of making the required high-frequency measurements of groundwater flow rate and direction using solar-only power, while interfacing with USGS's existing data loggers. The contract was awarded to an unknown vendor on August 9, 2024, for an unknown amount.
