Effective groundwater monitoring is essential for accurate site assessments, risk management, and successful remediation efforts. Traditional methods often involve long-screened wells that can dilute the true concentration of contaminants and obscure vertical variations, leading to incomplete or misleading data. To overcome these challenges, HydroTerra offers the Solinst Waterloo Multi-level Groundwater Monitoring System—a proven solution that delivers high-resolution, three-dimensional groundwater data, tailored to your site’s specific needs. 

The Waterloo System, originally developed at the University of Waterloo in 1984, has been refined by Solinst to meet the evolving demands of modern environmental projects. This innovative system enables the collection of groundwater samples, hydraulic head measurements, and permeability data from multiple, discretely isolated zones within a single borehole. By capturing detailed depth-specific information, the system provides a comprehensive understanding of subsurface conditions, ensuring more accurate site interpretations. 

One of the key advantages of the Waterloo System is its ability to provide detailed 3-D data using fewer drilled holes. This not only reduces project costs and site disturbance but also speeds up monitoring times. The modular design of the system allows for customization, enabling monitoring zones to be placed at desired depths for bedrock, overburden, or combination applications. The result is a clearer, more precise understanding of contaminant distribution, crucial for making informed decisions about remediation strategies. 

HydroTerra’s experience in deploying the multi-levels systems ensures that your project will benefit from our expertise and successful track record in groundwater monitoring. By leveraging this advanced technology, we help our clients achieve more reliable data, optimize remediation efforts, and effectively manage risks. Choose HydroTerra and the Waterloo System to elevate your groundwater monitoring to the next level—delivering the accuracy and efficiency your project demands. 

Other multilevel systems available include the Solinst CMT and 615ML Multilevel Drive-Point Piezometer.
