Passive groundwater sampling is vastly improving the way companies run groundwater monitoring projects. It’s been shown to dramatically reduce field time, save upwards of 50-75% of costs, and deliver consistently reliable data.

Since its introduction 25 years ago, passive groundwater sampling has continued to grow in popularity and is regularly accepted by regulators on projects nation-wide.

This guide will provide you with the information you need to evaluate the benefits that passive groundwater sampling can bring to your projects. We’ll explore the basics of how this sampling technique works, the different types of equipment used in passive sampling, how it compares to more traditional methods, share best practices for implementation and data analysis and management.
