Installing Multilevel Sampling Arrays to Monitor Ground Water and Contaminant Discharge to a Surface Water Body |
| |
| Abstract: | A simple, effective method for the installation and sampling of vertically discrete points in a dynamic beach environment was developed and tested on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, The installation permitted the vertical resolution of a ground water plume discharging to the lake and allowed monitoring of temporal variations during relatively calm and stormy periods of the year. These installations permit the definition of vertical heterogeneities such as oxidation-reduction conditions and geochemical characteristics that are expected to impact the transport and fate of ground water contaminants discharged to the surface water. |
