Can Geoprobe tools be used for groundwater characterization?
Absolutely! During subsurface investigations you will probably collect groundwater for chemical analysis, determine some basic hydrogeologic parameters (hydraulic conductivity, permeability, etc.) and/or take static water levels. This is usually referred to as characterizing the groundwater. The type of Geoprobe groundwater sampler will vary from temporary installation to collect grab samples to monitoring wells designed for permanent installation and long-term monitoring.
