How to do groundwater monitoring?

Groundwater monitoring is often undertaken as part of both geotechnical and contamination investigations. Groundwater is either manually, using a dip meter, or, more commonly nowadays, using electronic dataloggers, to continuously monitor groundwater level fluctuations.

How is a monitoring well installed?

The preferred drilling methods for installing monitoring wells are those that temporarily case the borehole during drilling and the construction of the well, e.g. hollow-stem augers and sonic methods. However, site conditions or project criteria may not allow using these methods.

How to do water monitoring?

Meanwhile, measuring groundwater quality involves recording key physical, chemical and biological parameters such as pH, temperature EC, nitrates, and E Coli (among others). The specific parameters to be measured depend on the monitoring objectives.

What is the process of groundwater monitoring?

Groundwater monitoring involves drilling a number of bore holes at strategic locations to extract groundwater for testing at periodic intervals. Usually, a sample of boreholes will include some at very deep levels and others at a shallower level to ensure a clear picture of the aquifer is obtained.

How to monitor groundwater levels?

What are the 5 methods of monitoring water quality? Chemical analysis. Chemical analysis is a method of assessing water quality by quantitatively or qualitatively detecting various chemicals in water. Physical property testing method. Microbiological assays. Bioanalytical methods. Water Quality Sensor Approach.
