Development of MIWA sampler and usage

Why MIWA sampler?

 What would you do if you were trying to collect water from the shore?

 You would think of collecting water from the shore with a ladle in your hand. There are few situations where this method can be used. The coast is usually covered with tetrapods or rocks. If the weather is bad, you will be swept away by the waves. Your life is at stake.

 Would you go into the ocean wearing waders? Even this is dangerous.

 Would you rent a fisherman's boat? It's expensive and hard work.

 We need to develop a quick, safe way to collect water from the shore!

I named it after the developer, Mr. Miwa (a graduate student).

How to use

1) Swing over a long fishing rod (to cast the water sampler farther)

Miwa's best friend, Nobu (who likes fishing)

2) Wait for the water to enter the water sampler

3)  Collect water together
