Archival storage of water samples

I am responsible for an archive of water samples, mostly collected
from water wells, boreholes and streams. They have already undergone
a variety of chemical analyses, but are archived for possible future
additional testing. We currently store them in a dark refrigerated
room at 4 degrees Centigrade.

Can anyone advise on current best practice, or suggest appropriate
publications?
