Growing, all encompassing environmental regulations and information management guidelines create the need for effective data management. Groundwater monitoring is an example of a task that requires detailed standard procedures, accurate and accessible sample result information, and reproduction of several standard reports. A relational database helps manage this information, resulting in time savings and ultimately cost savings. Quick retrieval and consistent reproduction of field sampling procedures, sample bottle labels, well development forms, well purging and sampling forms and instrument calibration forms ensure timely and accurate data collection as well as sound information management. A relational database also provides quick retrieval of sample and results information in a form that can be customized by the user for reporting purposes. The efficient operation of a groundwater monitoring program that results from a sound information management system indicates that a relational database is the safest and most effective way to create historical records and produce standard or customized reports.
