What is a Ground Water Level Measurement?

A ground water level measurement is a measurement of the depth to water below land surface in a well. The ground water level represents the amount of water storage in the surrounding aquifer. A record of ground water level measurements over a period of time can help you understand how much water is available for use.

Collection of water level measurements in your well will help you identify any declines in water levels before they become a serious problem. Declines in well water levels could be related to well efficiency, variations in ground water recharge and discharge, seasonal fluctuations, or ground water overuse.
 
Install a measuring tube in your well to make collecting your water level measurements easier.
