Description

The groundwater monitoring is used to evaluate the local quality and quantity of the groundwater. These information are required to obtain important insights in the hydrochemical processes in the aquifer, as well as the origin and residence time of groundwater.
The Grundfos MP 1 submersible pump set with a connected, closed flow cell enables observations of the physicochemical parameters with digital IDS sensors (temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, redox potential, dissolved oxygen), without air contact. For continuous measurements, a basic set of loggers and sensors for measuring temperature, water level, oxygen and electrical conductivity is available.

Instruments

Oxygen Electrode
Clark Electrode
Sensors that measure the electrical conductance per unit distance in an electrolytic or aqueous solution.
Conductivity Sensor
Conductometric Sensor
Potentiometric electrochemical sensor that measures pH as a linear function of electrode potential. Measurement principles or methods include the use of an ion-selective electrode (see glass pH-sensitive electrode), ion-selective field effect transistor, metal-metal oxide electrodes, or redox electrode (e.g. hydrogen electrode, quinhydrone electrode).
