In Alberta, annual water well sampling is recommended for anyone with a household or farm water well. The NRCB, as the regulator, can make monitoring of these types of wells a requirement at confined feeding operations or manure storage facilities. The frequency of testing will be determined by the NRCB depending on the situation and interpretation of the results. Monitorin
