Why Groundwater Levels?

0

Groundwater levels are extremely important in providing information about the overall groundwater flow regime and the water budget for an aquifer. Generally, water level data is recorded as X,Y (global coordinates) and Z (elevation) format and provides the key data set for contouring and mapping water tables. Advanced software applications, such as HydroGeo Analyst are extremely useful in managing and reporting years of groundwater level data. Develop regional water table to establish sources of water for industry, agriculture, and human consumption Calculate groundwater flow direction and velocities for risk assessment Analyze pumping test data to determine the hydraulic properties of the aquifer Highlight areas of concern for source water protection initiatives Determine potential impacts to wetlands, ecology, and freshwater streams Identify groundwater divides to be used as boundary conditions for modeling Provide a source of ‘real’ data for model calibration Compare historical data
