Groundwater Monitoring - Low-flow Purging and Sampling

Geotech (UK) Ground water monitoring. This new extensive white paper of some 3,300 words with cases studies and illustrations examines best practice and the ‘state-of-the-art’ in Low-flow Purging and Sampling. It finds: “Significant timesaving, improved sample process integrity, quality assurance and minimal quantities of potentially contaminated purge water - are attractive as the focus on groundwater quality sharpens and economics demand best cost-benefit based methods.

” As each country looks more closely at its water resources and maintaining water quality, considerations on water sampling and techniques become more important. For any source, there is an obvious need for sampling process integrity to be able to sample accurately, reliably and repeatably, in compliance with rules and guidelines thus achieving quality assurance - and as economically as possible.
