Groundwater Sampling at Tanjung Duabelas in Banting Selangor

Sampling for groundwater samples was conducted together with Mr Jasni Yaacob (LESTARI), Mr Atea Al Porakes (my PhD student) and Mr Farid Adnan (Geochemistry technician).  The sampling was conducted via several boreholes that were drilled using hand auger for up-to 10 m depth.  The water levels in the boreholes were firstly measured using dip meter and then purging was performed using a pump to remove all stagnant water inside the wells.  Sample was collected after a few hours using a bailer - Dr Wan Zuhairi Yaacob
