The collection of the data was done fortnightly using a Heron Dipper instrument (Water Level), and a Hanna meter instrument for groundwater and surface water quality (pH, EC and Temperature). Before the Hanna meter was used for water quality testing, the instrument was first calibrated for pH using pH7 (HI 7007) and pH4 (HI7004) solutions and for Electrical Conductivity, EC using conductivity solution (HI70031) to ensure accuracy of the measured parameters. To measure groundwater level, a Heron Dipper was lowered into the well and the groundwater level (table) measured with reference to ground level.
