Groundwater Sampling and Analysis
This chapter introduces good practice for water quality sampling and analysis of groundwater from wells and boreholes, both in the testing phase and the production phase. The purpose of the monitoring or sampling must be clearly defined, as this will be crucial in constraining the programme design, the parameters to be analysed and the spatial and temporal frequency of sampling. The purpose may be for initial investigation, screening, contamination delineation, regulatory compliance, hydrometric monitoring, operational monitoring or for research. Sampling for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) requires particular attention, with minimization of aeration/turbulence and special sampling vials. Sampling from an observation borehole may be part of a groundwater contamination investigation or regional water quality survey. With a purpose‐drilled observation or monitoring borehole, it is important to confirm that the methods and materials used for construction are compatible with the analytical parameters of concern – they should not leach or adsorb these parameters.
