Investigation of a chalk aquifer: advantages and limits of diffusion samplers and low-flow sampling techniques

Abstract: In order to estimate the vertical contaminant distributions in a chalk aquifer, two sampling techniques are used in the piezometers. The first is passive multi-level sampling, using dialysis membrane diffusion samplers. The second is the low-flow purging technique. Geochemical groundwater zones are also established by profiles of temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH and redox potential. These sampling techniques enhance three-dimensional visualization of the chemical and physical parameters in the c… Show more

“…This is also the reason why low-flow methodology has been increasingly used for several years (Schilling 1995). The best results, in terms of sampling representativeness and applications, have been obtained in alluvial aquifers, where the hypothesis of aquifer homogeneity is more easily respected and preferential paths are not frequent as in fractured formations (Barrez et al 2007). Particular attention is to be paid to those cases in which the influence of vertical flow may occur (McMillan et al 2014), but difficulties can be overcome by the use of numerical models before field monitoring activities (Harte 2017;Martin-Hayden et al 2014;Varljen et al 2006).…”
