New boom hanging off of the tower so can service the water sensors without getting in the water. This is a fixed height boom. Currently has 3 miniDOTs at -8, -38, and -68cm relative to the water surface. There are also 3 eosGP probes at the same depths.

Box on the ground was flooded during this summer's irrigation that had water about 10cm above the soil surface. Half of the screw terminal was underwater, but luckily the eosFD twist connections were dry. Surprisingly, the eosFD chambers seemed fine and were recording data the whole time.
