water sampling
Collecting aquatic specimens
Water sampling is the collection of water from a source—river, lake, well, tap, or ocean—for testing and analysis.
Environmental scientists take water samples to measure contamination levels, check for pathogens, or monitor ecosystem health.
The county conducts regular water sampling at public beaches.
Results determine whether water is safe for drinking, swimming, or wildlife.
