Abstract: A water sampling system, device and method of sampling are provided. Water sampling system includes triggering mechanism, at least one water sampling device and pumping mechanism. Water sampling device is configured to cooperate with triggering mechanism and includes removable sampling container and pinch mechanism. Removable sampling container is disposed in water sampling device and includes inlet, inlet tube and sampling bag attached to inlet tube. Pinch mechanism is located adjacent to and surrounding inlet tube and proximate to sampling bag. Pinch mechanism, when closed, prevents water from entering inlet tube and sampling bag. Pinch mechanism, when open, allows water from inlet into inlet tube and sampling bag. Pumping mechanism creates a flow of water to cause sampling bag to collect water when pinch mechanism is in an open position.
