Some things to consider before you start your next groundwater sampling project.

If you are taking on a new groundwater sampling project, here are some important things to consider before you start.

Being prepared before you head out to the site can save both time and money. A check list is essential for preventing potential issues.

 Site Information

• Identify the site location and environmental conditions (e.g. urban, rural, industrial, remote, confined space).
• Determine the number of wells to be monitored.
• Specify the diameter of each well.
• Verify the presence of a monument or gatic cover.
• Assess if the site is prone to flooding or vandalism. Consider whether locked gates will require pre-arranged access. Evaluate potential concerns from livestock or wildlife.
• Gather any known data regarding the water quality, such as high salinity, acidity, leachate, or pollution.

Measurement parameters

Level Measurement

• Determine the required cable length.
• Identify the variation in water level over time.
• Establish the measurement accuracy required.
• Assess the need for a Barologger or a vented solution.

Water Quality Measurement

• Specify the parameters to be measured.
• Define the typical measurement range for each parameter.
• Determine the required accuracy for each parameter.

Improvements

• Consider whether the installation of a telemetered system will save time and money, particularly for ongoing projects.
