For reliable environmental analyses
The quality of surface water plays a crucial role in environmental management, permitting processes, and the protection of people and nature. Whether it involves a pond, stream, river, canal, or waterway: proper sampling forms the basis for reliable analyses and well-founded decisions. Normec supports companies, government agencies, and water managers with accredited surface water sampling. In doing so, we take into account the objectives of the study, the characteristics of the water body, and applicable laws and regulations.
Sampling of ponds, streams, rivers, and canals
Not every body of water requires the same approach. A stagnant pond requires a different sampling method than a flowing stream or a navigable canal. That is why our specialists determine the most suitable method in advance.
We perform sampling in:
- Ponds
- Canals
- Streams
- Non-navigable waterways
- Rivers
- Canals
- Navigable waterways
During sampling, we take into account factors such as water depth, current, accessibility, and potential sources of contamination. This allows us to obtain a representative sample that provides a reliable picture of water quality.
From sampling to analysis and reporting
Normec handles the entire process. After sampling, the samples are analyzed in our accredited laboratory. Thanks to our expertise in environmental research, you’ll quickly receive clear results that you can use for reports, permits, monitoring, or further decision-making.
