US Patent 12130214 Environmental groundwater sampling system

A system for sampling groundwater from a well that includes a pump configured to be at least partially submerged in the groundwater within the well and pump the groundwater out of the well, a sensor configured to output a signal indicative of the depth of the groundwater in the well, and a controller in communication with the sensor. The controller is configured to receive the signal indicative of the depth of the groundwater from the sensor and compensate for groundwater ingress into the well by adjusting a rate of flow of groundwater pumped by the pump based on the signal to stabilize the depth of groundwater in the well while the pump is pumping groundwater from the well.
