Waterra are providing industrial support funding, along with the Environment Agency, for a PhD studentship on groundwater quality at the University of Birmingham.
The research will be looking specifically at the rigorous sampling and interpretation of long-screen monitoring wells and and boreholes. The objective is to evaluate innovations such as passive and low flow sampling and and develop process-based monitoring protocols.
"This is a great opportunity to improve the guidance on groundwater sampling methodologies", said Peter Dumble, MD of Waterra UK. "New techniques allow long-screen monitoring wells to provide far more accurate and reliable samples and we anticipate that the research project will help to quantify the benefits of the new approaches."
The project is now looking for a dynamic student with both practical field and data interpretation skills. Field research will take place at a variety of UK study sites and the student will have the chance to trial a wide variety of sampling technologies.
Further details on the PhD project (and a link to the application form) are available at the University of Birmingham Doctoral Researcher site.
