We were delighted at the level of interest shown when running the groundwater sampling training course in Belfast on 13th & 14th December 2011.
This course attracted more delegates than to any of our previous courses leading us to run the course on two separate days in order to meet demand! We were fortunate in attracting deegates from a wide range of sectors including environmental consultants, regulators, universities, local authorities and water companies.
Delegates gained the latest insights into groundwater sampling methods and a better understanding of regulatory guidance. The content must have been good because we received an aggregate score of 1.2 on the Geological Society CPD assessment scale where 1 is excellent and 5 is very poor. Thank you to those who were there!
The session was lead by Hydrogeologist, Peter Dumble, Waterra In-Situ’s Technical Director, who is the principal author of the current Environment Agency and SEPA guidance for monitoring leachate, groundwater and surface water at landfill sites. Peter was full of praise for the course audience:
Delegates provided some good testimonials for the course:
Our next half day Groundwater Sampling course will be in Warrington on 8th February 2012 followed by our annual 1 day course in Birmingham on 23 May 2012. We have already almost filled the course in Warrington, so book now for this event!

“Groundwater quality monitoring is a vital safeguard to ensure water supply for public consumption, agricultural, industrial and and ecological use, whilst quality status is an important part of the monitoring and reporting requirements of the EU Water Framework Directive. These interests were reflected in the backgrounds of all those present.
The high attendance, attentiveness of delegates to our presentations and demonstrations, and the quality of the questions I received were outstanding. There was particular interest in low flow and passive sampling methods with many concerns expressed at the practicality of using low flow and the requirements of regulators when switching between methodologies".
