Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus for sampling water in a borehole and a method thereof. The apparatus includes a water sampling cylinder to sample the water in the borehole; a first camera to monitor the water sampling cylinder and a sample discharging part provided in the borehole; a first motor to insert the water sampling cylinder into the sample discharging part; a vacuum vessel to receive a sample input from the water sampling cylinder; a waterproof member having a hole serving as a passage through which the water sampling cylinder moves back and forth; and a supporting member that urges the waterproof member closely to the sample discharging part to prevent foreign substances from being introduced into the borehole. The first motor includes a plurality of protrusions meshed with a plurality of grooves provided in the water sampling cylinder.

Abstract: A method of collecting samples that are not polluted at the outside of a borehole at a predetermined depth by using a multi-packer and an apparatus therefore. Contaminated water in the borehole between first and second packers of the multi-packer is selectively discharged into a contaminated water discharging vessel installed on a lower end of a sample collecting container by opening or closing an electronic switching valve in the contaminated water discharging vessel.

Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus for measuring outer water quality in a remote place, which is fixedly provided at a specific region having a water source so that a position of a water quality sensor is controlled in a remote place based on a real-time moving picture transmitted from a measurement area and the water quality sensor is inserted into water, thereby measuring water quality, and a method thereof. A horizontal position of a sensor holder is determined by adjusting a horizontal length variable rod in a remote place, a sensing part of at least one water quality sensor provided in the sensor holder is inserted into water by adjusting a first vertical length variable rod and a second vertical length variable rod in the remote place, a measurement value measured from the water quality sensor is transmitted to a terminal in the remote place, and the measurement value is displayed.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method of collecting samples and an apparatus thereof. The method of collecting a sample using a multi-packer includes (A) dropping a sample collecting container into a borehole to collect a sample; (B) confirming whether the dropped sample collecting container arrives at a predetermined depth; (C) allowing a first packer surrounding an outer portion of a top end of the sample collecting container and a second packer surrounding an outer portion of a bottom end of the sample collecting container to adhere closely to a wall of the borehole by expanding the first and second packers when the dropped sample collecting container arrives at the predetermined; (D) collecting the sample at an outside of a casing constituting the borehole; (E) separating the first and second packers from each other when the collecting of the sample is completed; and (F) retrieving the sample collecting container filled with the sample from the borehole.
