Groundwater Depth

Calculate the true water level with a reference offset. Typically used for depth-to-groundwater calculations in civil and geotechnical applications, groundwater depth is a basic offset for water level data: it 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.

Supported sensors

Groundwater depth can be calculated from any water level measurement.

Recommended sensors

• HYDROS 21
• CTD
• CTD-5
• CTD-10

Create a Groundwater Depth model

1. On the Data page, click New Data.
2. Select Groundwater as the type.
3. Select one or more water level sources.
4. Edit the data stream color.
5. Edit the data stream name.
6. The sensor Position is the default value for the install depth/offset. Edit the Height/Depth, or enter a value if none is present.
7. Select Create to finish.

The new data stream(s) will now appear in your data list.
