  Groundwater Sampling Methodology and Equipment

  The requirements of British Standards (e.g. BS10175 on contaminated land), Environment Agency Guidance and not least (for the moment) the EU Water Framework Directive, has added a new impetus for obtaining reliable groundwater quality monitoring dataWhen faced with differing hydrogeology, borehole and well constructions, what options do you have? Does the methodology you use produce "representative" water samples?. Course content
  
  The full day training seminar is delivered at a central UK venue and will provide delegates with up to date knowledge including:
  
  
  
  We have introduced two workshop sessions to allow delegates to think through core technical sampling issues and to share experience in the room.
  We have added a new presentation to include information related to laboratories, sample preservation and quality control checks.
  This is in addition to our usual core content:
  
  Why screen length is important when selecting sampling methods
  How flow within a borehole influences sample quality
  An overview and comparison of the 3 main groundwater sampling methods i.e.
  Well Volume Purge (3 or more well volumes)
  Low Flow (or micro-purge) – including demonstration
  Passive (or zero-purge) – including demonstration
  Explanation of "flow-weighted average" and "representative"
  Current UK guidance e.g. Environment Agency, BS ISO 5667-11:2009 (Groundwater sampling) and BS ISO 10175:2011 (Contaminated Land investigation)
  Interpretation of water quality from long screened wells
  R&D insights based on research at the University of Birmingham by Dr. Lindsay McMillan
  Demonstrations and hands-on opportunities with groundwater monitoring equipment
  Indoor and outdoor demonstrations (outdoor includes use of equipment in on-site 60m deep water well)
  Equipment used and on display during the 1 day course includes:
  
  Conventional Equipment
  
  PIDs
  Dip meters and interface meters
  Bailers
  Inertial pumps
  Low Flow Equipment
  
  Peristaltic pumps
  Submersible pumps
  Bladder pumps
  Water quality equipment / flow cells
  No-purge Equipment
  
  Passive diffusion bag (Equilibrator)
  Hydrasleeve.
