  Methodologies

---

Determining the availability and quality of groundwater has become an issue for an increasing number of businesses and government agencies. Changes in legislation, pressure on aquifer supplies and a heightened awareness of the impact of industrial activity have made groundwater sampling a hot topic. However, collecting a sample from a monitoring borehole which is truly "representative" of the quality of groundwater in the surrounding aquifer is not as easy as it might seem.

Select from the headings below for information on different sampling methodologies or go to our applications and case histories pages for solutions and uses of our equipment.
