INTRODUCTION
Water composite
sampling is a technique used in environmental monitoring to obtain
representative samples of water from a specific location over a period
of time. Instead of collecting individual samples at frequent intervals,
composite sampling involves combining multiple smaller samples taken at
regular intervals to create a single, averaged sample that represents
the water quality over the entire sampling duration. This method helps
to reduce variability and provides a more accurate representation of the
water's quality.
Here's how the
process generally works :
