How does LANL determine where to put a monitoring well?
Finished well head with solar power
Drill rig cutting an intermediate-depth groundwater well
LANL maintains an extensive groundwater monitoring and surveillance program through sampling.
Project teams routinely review groundwater monitoring data to verify adequate placement of wells and to plan the siting of additional wells as needed.
