Calculate the true water level with a reference to elevation. Typically used for depth-to-groundwater calculations for Civil and Geotechnical applications. Groundwater elevation is a basic conversion for water level data. This simple measurement calculates the depth relative to the well elevation by subtracting the install depth from the well elevation.

Groundwater Elevation = (Well Elevation - Install Depth) + Head

  • Well Elevation is typically the top-of-casing (TOC) elevation from sea level.
  • Install Depth is the sensor installation depth from a point of reference, typically a wellhead.
  • Head is the sensor measured water level.

Support

Groundwater elevation can be calculated from any water level measurement.

New Groundwater Elevation
  • On the Data page, click New Data.
  • Select Groundwater Water Elevation as the type.
  • Select one or more water level sources.
  • Edit the data stream color.
  • Edit the data stream name.
  • The sensor Position is the default value for the install depth.
  • Edit the Height/Depth, or enter a value if none is present.
  • Enter a value for the Top of Casing/Well Elevation.
  • Select Save.
  • Select Create to finish.
  • The new data stream(s) will now be in your data list.
