Inmätning och avvägning

I Bilaga 2 finns en sammanställning över provpunkternas koordinater och nivå för markytan.

Inmätning av provpunkter har utförts med GPS, RTK-mätning samt på ”skymda” ställen med vanlig terrester-mätning med totalstation.

Utifrån avvägda grundvattennivåer i maj 2017 strömmar grundvattnet i sydvästlig riktning mot Tomteviken.

**In an environmental assessment discussing soil and water sampling and analysis. I think they mean "Data entry and adjustment" here, but not sure if "scaling and balancing" would be better.
