. A method has been developed to install miniature multilevel ground‐water sampling wells in shallow, unconsoli‐dated aquifers at sites without truck access. An advantage of these wells over the traditional bundle‐type multilevel is that this type of installation causes minimal aquifer disturbance. Thus, miniature multilevels can be installed while a tracer test is in progress. Furthermore, only hand tools are needed in the field, and equipment and materials are easily obtained and inexpensive. The time required for installation is comparable to other methods.
