What Did You Forget? (Field Sampling Preparation)
Have you ever arrived at a remote site to collect water samples only to find you forgot to bring an essential item? Returning to base is not always possible or practical!
This tool will help you prepare for collecting water samples under field conditions. You will learn what items you need and why you need them to collect water samples correctly and safely in challenging environments.
After viewing this resource you will be able to list essential items that you should take on every field sampling trip.
Be ready to spend 15-20 minutes going through this e-learning tool. This module can be revisited so you can work through individual sections and return to finish the training at your convenience.
If you are short of time or want to access the complete list immediately, go directly to the Field Sampling Checklist (either the For Mobile or Printable versions).
This project is made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
