Groundwater Depth [2.0]

Updated by Travis Bates

IN THIS ARTICLE

Calculate the true water level with a reference offset. Typically used for depth-to-groundwater calculations by Civil and Geotechnical experts. Groundwater is a basic offset for water level data. This simple measurement calculates the depth to groundwater by subtracting the “sensor measured depth” from the “installation depth.”

Groundwater Depth = Install Depth - Head

  • Install Depth is the sensor installation depth from a point of reference, typically a wellhead.
  • Head is the sensor measured water level

Please note: This model is not yet available in the Closed Beta.

Support

Groundwater can be calculated from any water level measurement.

New Groundwater

  • On the     Data page, select    New Data.
  • Select Groundwater as the type.
  • Select one or more water level sources.
  • The type will default to GWD which stands for Groundwater depth.
  • Edit the data stream color.
  • Edit the data stream name.
  • The sensor Position is the default value for the install depth/offset.
  • Edit the Height/Depth, or enter a value if none is present.
  • Select Create to finish.
  • The new data stream(s) will now be in your data list.
