Hi,

This term appears in a report about the investigation of a contaminated site. An example with the term in question is mentioned below:


Nach dem Ziehen des Sondierungsgestänges bewirkte z. T. hoch anstehendes Grundwasser die Destabilisierung sandiger Bodenschichten, weswegen nicht alle in Frage kommenden Sondierungsbohrungen als vollkommene Grundwassermessstellen ausgebaut werden konnten.

Thank you for your time and effort.
