Introduction to Water Sampling and Analysis for Isotope Hydrology
Appropriate field sampling and the proper handling of water samples to the
point of their arrival in laboratories for analysis is a prerequisite for
any successful groundwater assessment. Yet, in many cases, simple mistakes
are made due to a lack of knowledge of fundamental field sampling practices.
This new video responds to this need by clearly demonstrating ‘best
practices’ in collecting and handling samples in the field needed for
utilizing isotopic techniques to support groundwater assessment activities.
Field staff are often not involved in either planning of sampling campaigns
or in assessing the data acquired. The wide distribution and use of this
video should lead to improved abilities of field staff to conduct sampling
appropriately and lead to better results in groundwater assessment
activities.
