Well Pumping and Water Quality Testing

It was time for the annual water quality testing of groundwater at the West Eugene Wetlands.  I got a few hydrologists together and we pumped water from the shallow wells at the Wetlands to be sampled for heavy metals since the Wetlands have a history of poor management including dumping of all sorts of nasty chemicals.

The Wetlands are bisected by a railroad which messes up the drainage network and contributes toxins from the creosote ties
