-
The collection of the data is done fortnightly using Heron Dipper instrument (Water Level), and Hanna meter instrument for groundwater and surface water quality (pH, EC and Temperature). Before the Hanna meter is used for water quality testing, the instrument is first calibrated for pH using pH7 (HI 7007) and pH4 (HI7004) solutions and for Electrical Conductivity, EC using conductivity solution (HI70031) to ensure accuracy of the measured parameters. For groundwater level, the Heron Dipper is lowered into the well and the groundwater level (table) measured with reference to ground level.
