Overview
The Global Water SP200 variable speed portable peristaltic pump sampler is ideal for sample removal from shallow wells and surface water, including lakes, ponds, and holding pools. The water sampler is lightweight, rugged, easy to use, weather-resistant, and requires minimal maintenance. The peristaltic pump is designed to take a manual sample and has the ability to back flush the sample hose once the sample has been collected.
Mechanics
The water sampler operates using an external 12-volt DC power source that can supply at least 2 A continuous. The variable speed motor is reversible and can sample at any speed from a trickle up to 500 ml per minute. Each variable speed peristaltic pump sampler includes a power cord 10 ft (3.05 m) long. The power cord is fitted with alligator clips for easy connection to almost any 12-volt DC battery, such as a car battery or a small 12V, 5 AH gel cell.
To provide high sample integrity, the water sample only contacts the norprene and polyethylene tubing. The tubing is easily cleaned or replaced. To avoid cross-contamination or lengthy decontamination procedures, simply change the inexpensive tubing between samples.

Angler-Driven Citizen Science: Monitoring Black Bass Populations in Arkansas
In Arkansas, the rugged terrain of the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains dominates the north and west, eventually yielding to the vast, fertile flatlands of the Mississippi River Delta to the east. Hundreds of reservoirs and lakes punctuate the landscape, while swift streams snake through the valleys and hills, eventually giving way to the slow-moving rivers and bayous in the south. The waterways of the state are teeming with life. Black bass dominate most of these ecosystems and have drawn anglers for centuries. The most sought-after fish in one of the country's most prominent fishing states, Arkansas treasures its black bass populations.

White Lake in Western Michigan is a vestige of North America’s glacial past, and gets its name from an interpretation of the Indian, “Wabish-Sippe,” meaning the river with white clay. The twin towns of Whitehall and Montague, which nestle on White Lake’s shore, have shared a close connection with the lake since their foundation–from the growth of the lumbering industry, to industrializsation, the expansion of tourism, and most recently, environmental protection. The White Lake Association (WLA) was founded in 1988 by residents concerned about proposed development at the lake’s northern end.

The flow dynamics of rivers and streams play an essential role in the chemical and physical functions of aquatic ecosystems. In Maine, varying flows in the Penobscot River Basin have impacted the health of the ecosystem, water resource use, and habitat suitability for native species—topics of particular concern to the Penobscot Indian Nation , who have been protecting and managing the waterway for millennia. Parts of the Penobscot basin have been monitored by the USGS stream gage network, which covers larger streams and rivers but excludes many of the small streams found on tribal lands.
