Ground Water Testing
Groundwater testing protects groundwater resources and the environment. Most of the Earth’s fresh water is groundwater (traditionally considered to be water within 100 meters of the surface of the earth) and can contain many constituent parts, including microorganisms, gases, inorganic and organic materials.
A metal tape can be used to measure groundwater levels by inserting it between the well casing and pump column until it contacts water. The use of chalk on the lower part of the tape improves the visibility of the water line and helps verify that it has contacted the groundwater surface.
The collection of water samples from groundwater wells occurs in five steps: sampling preparations, accessing the well before sampling and securing the well after sampling, measuring the water level, purging the well, and collecting and delivering the water sample.
Major contaminates in Ground Water Testing Service:
- Salinity
- Iron
- Manganese
- Uranium
- Radon
- Chromium
Some ways to improve Ground Water Testing Service:
- using appropriate containers and seals,
- purging of the well prior to sample capture,
- collection at points before water treatment equipment,
- utilizing appropriate analysis methods; and.
