LE0061 : Water Sampling

This practical and highly-interactive course
includes real-life case studies and exercises
where participants will be engaged in a series of
interactive small groups and class workshops.
This course is designed to provide participants with a
detailed and up-to-date overview of Water Sampling.
It covers the importance of water sampling in water
quality monitoring, regulatory compliance and public
health; the different water sources and their unique
sampling requirements; the basics of water quality
parameters; the tools, containers and preservation
materials used in water sampling; and the best
practices for ensuring personal and public safety
during the sampling process.
Further, the course will also discuss the regulatory
framework for water sampling; the steps for
developing a water sampling plan; the standard
operating procedures (SOPs) for sampling; the
sampling techniques for physical and chemical
analysis, microbiological analysis, field
measurements and on-site testing; and the proper
documentation practices, including field notes,
sample labels and maintaining the chain of custody
for samples.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the QA/QC in water sampling,
QA/QC procedures, checklists, data management and reporting; the common issues
encountered during water sampling, such as contamination and sample degradation;
conducting audits and reviews to ensure continuous improvement in sampling
processes and compliance with SOPs; the sampling techniques for emerging
contaminants; the passive sampling technologies and their applications in monitoring
water quality over time; the remote sensing technologies and automated sampling
equipment for continuous monitoring; the advanced techniques for preserving and
transporting samples to prevent chemical changes or microbial growth; and the
innovative analytical methods and technologies for water quality analysis in the
laboratory.
