NC State University Stream Restoration Program

Water quality information is essential in determining a course of action in almost every water related issue or situation. Stormwater assessment, development impact, non point source pollution, maintenance of high quality waters, pre and post restoration monitoring or performance of a treatment method; all issues require detailed accurate and consistent water quality data.

The use of automated samplers can provide consistent, continuous sampling and discharge measurement, water depth, and velocity data far beyond that available with grab and/or static sampling techniques. Along with this benefit, automated samplers can also introduce many challenges in collecting the desired data. Shift the odds in favor of successful and accurate data collection by attending this 1-day training session on the following topics:

• Review the basic protocols and requirements of many common water quality measurements
• Understand the capabilities and limitations of automated samplers and associated flowmeters
• Learn what the latest developments in autoomated samplers are
• Discuss maintenance requirements for automated samplers
• Present various application, installation and programming techniques
• Explore data collection and manipulation capabilities
• Discuss ways to minimize the chances of damage, loss, vandalism and theft of equipment
• Practicum: An opportunity for hands on programming and use of working equipment

The presenters all use automated samplers and flow measurement equipment in their work and together represent many years of experience in using and managing the equipment.  They can present real world issues and solutions to the use of automatic water samplers and flow measurement equipment.
