This comprehensive 3-day course covers everything you need to know about ground-water sampling, from the science behind ground-water sampling to state-of-the-art procedures for developing sampling and analysis plans to correct procedures for collecting and handling ground water samples and documenting sampling events. Field sessions on conventional sampling, low-flow purging and sampling and no-purge sampling, and sample collection, handling, filtration and preservation drive home the concepts covered in the classroom.

This intensive 2-day course covers everything you need to know on ground-water monitoring wells, from effective site characterization for proper placement of wells and multi-level monitoring systems, to environmental drilling/direct-push methods for installing wells and multi-level systems, to state-of-the-science methods for designing wells and multi-level systems, to methods for effective well development. A 1/2-day field session on site characterization & well installation using a direct-push rig drives home the points made in the classroom.

This comprehensive 5-day course covers everything you need to know about ground-water monitoring, from monitoring well placement, design, construction and development to environmental drilling/direct-push technology for installing wells to correct procedures for sampling ground water from monitoring wells. Field sessions on site characterization and monitoring well installation, low-flow purging and sampling and no-purge sampling, and sample collection, handling, filtration and preservation drive home the concepts covered in the classroom.

This comprehensive 2-day course covers everything you need to know about surface-water and sediment sampling, from state-of-the-art procedures for developing sampling and analysis plans to correct procedures for collecting and handling surface-water and sediment samples and documenting sampling events. A 1/2-day field session on surface-water and sediment sampling, flow measurement in surface-water systems, and sample collection, handling, and field analysis (including profiling surface-water) drive home the concepts covered in the classroom.
