Flexible CMT System Adapted To Measure Submarine Groundwater
SGD is hard to quantify, and site-specific field measurements are critical to accurately estimate rates of SGD. Universities, researchers and associations across North America have been teaming-up to try to understand this process, part of the broader understanding of groundwater-surface water interactions.

No-Purge Discrete Zone Sampling
The Model 425 Discrete Interval Sampler is a no-purge instrument that allows groundwater sampling from specific depths, without mixing of water from different levels. The stainless steel sampler is pressurized before being lowered to prevent water from entering until the desired zone is reached, pressure is released and the sampler fills with water from the discrete zone.

High Resolution Multi-level Monitoring For Bedrock Aquifers
Beth Parker provided attendees with a glimpse of the extensive research she has been spearheading for the past 20 years. Her work is focused on developing the “Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) Field Approach for Investigating Contaminated Sites in Fractured Sedimentary Rock”. Understanding how groundwater flows and chemicals migrate in these networks requires a unique approach… Continue Reading »
Isolate Discrete Zones For High Resolution Monitoring
Solinst Low Pressure Pneumatic Packers are inflatable seals, ideal for isolating discrete zones in long-screened wells and various other formations for: Groundwater sampling and monitoring Minimizing purge volumes Reducing well development time Slug and pump tests Air sparging (low pressure) Hydraulic conductivity testing, and more Single and Straddle Packers fit 2″ – 5″ (50 mm… Continue Reading »
