Groundwater and Surface Water
Sampling and analysis of groundwater and surface water
Surface water (rivers, canals, lakes, ponds, etc.) and groundwater (river-linked aquifers and water table aquifers, etc.) are fragile environments that require special vigilance to preserve not only drinking water production, but also aquatic fauna and flora.
Their vulnerability is linked to the size of the areas with which they interact. That's why they need ongoing monitoring to watch for threats, which can come from industrial pollution or development projects, even from distant locations.

Sampling carried out by our teams
Sorting, identification, and quantification of organisms that indicate biological water quality (invertebrates, diatoms, macrophytes, fish) for the calculation of quality indices
Analysis to assess the physical and chemical quality of water (temperature, oxygen balance, salinity, pH, mineral and organic nutrient concentrations)
Identification of Specific Pollutants of the Ecological Status of Water (PSEE)
Sampling and analysis of groundwater
Sampling using piezometers or wells
Analysis to assess the physical and chemical quality of water (parameters in accordance with the SANDRE VS Groundwater Code. In particular, metals, metalloids, pesticides and pesticide metabolites, PAHs, alkylphenols, nonylphenols, and other phenols)

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Groundwater and surface water are highly vulnerable to pollution from industrial discharges, agricultural activities, and development projects. Regular monitoring helps protect drinking water resources, aquatic ecosystems, and biodiversity.
Analyses include physical and chemical parameters (pH, oxygen balance, nutrients, salinity, temperature), biological indicators (invertebrates, diatoms, macrophytes, fish), and pollutants such as metals, pesticides and their metabolites, PAHs, alkylphenols, nonylphenols, and other phenols.
Surface water sampling is performed in rivers, lakes, canals, and ponds by our expert teams, including biological quality assessments. Groundwater sampling is conducted using piezometers or wells, in line with the SANDRE Groundwater Code.
