Water Quality Monitoring - A Practical Guide to the Design and Implementation of Freshwater Quality Studies and Monitoring Programmes Edited by Jamie Bartram and Richard Ballance Published on behalf of United Nations Environment Programme and the World Health Organization 1996 UNEP/WHO ISBN 0 419 22320 7 (Hbk) 0 419 21730 4 (Pbk) Chapter 5 - FIELD work AND SAMPLING This Chapter was prepared by J. Bartram, A. M kel and E. M lkki The FIELD work associated with the collection and transport of samples will account for a substantial proportion of the total cost of a monitoring programme. SAMPLING expeditions should, therefore, be planned and carried out in such a way that efforts are not wasted. If, for example, an essential piece of equipment is forgotten or an inadequately described SAMPLING station cannot be found, the value of that particular SAMPLING expedition is seriously compromised.
If chlorinated water is being collected for microbiological analysis, sufficient sodium thiosulphate should be added to the sample bottles to neutralise the chlorine.
