Calibration
• General Procedure• Calibrate in a temperature-controlled environment• Calibrate sensors in order
1. Specific conductance2. pH 3. Dissolved oxygen4. Depth (at first site)
![Page 6: Water 101 -](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042405/625e278d602b2e28265e9583/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Calibration• General Procedure con’t.• Rinse minimum 2x with calibration standard• Rinse minimum 2x with deionized water between
standards
• NEVER override a calibration error message without fully understanding the cause

Calibration• Each sonde has a dedicated
calibration logbook
• Record calibration/post calibration
• Maintenance

Collecting Field Measurements and Water Chemistry Samples
• Freshwater Streams:• Collect samples from centroid of
flow upstream from bridges or road crossings
• Avoid backwater and stagnant pool areas in flowing water
![Page 9: Water 101 -](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042405/625e278d602b2e28265e9583/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Collecting Field Measurements and Water Chemistry Samples
• Freshwater Streams:• Face upstream when filling containers
• Collect bacteria samples in sterile container
o Avoid contaminating samples with debris from banks
o Label containers clearly

Sample Preservation—Routine
Preservation “kits” should contain safety glasses, gloves, and sodium bicarbonate for
spills
Pre-measured vials of 1:1 H2SO4 are a simple alternative to a
preservation kit
Place an “X” on the container lid and label container “Preserved-
H2SO4” or “H2SO4”
Add ~2mL of 1:1 H2SO4 to the sample container

Secchi Disk
The viewers eye level should be no greater than 2 meters above the surface. Slowly lower the disk vertically and note the depth at which it is no longer visible.
Then slowly raise the disk and note the depth at which it reappears.
Secchi disk transparency (00078) is the mean, in meters, of the two depths

Secchi TubeStep 1. Fill the tube with sample water to the top. The disk should not be visible.
Step 2. Person 1—looks through the top of the tube.
Step 3. Person 2—slowly releases water through the bottom valve
Step 4. Person 1 says “stop” as soon as the disk becomes visible; Person 2 closes the valve

Step 5. Record the
depth of the water in meters.
21 cm = 0.21 meters

Collecting Field Measurements and Water Chemistry Samples
Field Observations may include:
• Weather• Water color/appearance• Odor• Watershed activities• Recreation• Substrate description• Other conditions that
might affect water quality

After Sampling –Post Calibration Check
• Verifies instrument accuracy • checks for electronic drift • may detect instrument issues that occurred in the field
