Topic: Planning and Executing a Successful Ground-Water Sampling Event
The ground-water monitoring wells are installed and developed and you are finally ready to sample! Or are you? This module discusses in great detail all of the issues that need to be considered and documents that need to be in place prior to setting out to collect ground-water samples. Learn why it is critical to prepare and follow a written, site-specific Sampling and Analysis Plan. If you are an emergency response team member or regulatory enforcement staff, learn what alternative approach you would need to take to conduct a sampling event. Learn why you need to understand the terms accuracy, precision, bias and defensibility. Field videos are included within this module to explain well inspection and good housekeeping practices that should be employed during a ground-water sampling event.
