rising and falling in my rural water well, a HOBO water level data logger is placed in the 300 ft (91 m) deep well as part of a regional project. This intelligent device stores and transmits water level data by Bluetooth, and corrects for atmospheric pressure effects. Hey, it’s the 21st century, you know.
Former colleague Dr. C. Pritchard (EWU Geology) measuring the static water level with a well sounding tape and preparing the data logger for installation.
The water level measuring tape indicates the static water level is 223 ft (68 m) below the lip of the metal collar. The data logger is the shiny metal device and will be suspended by a cable to nearly the bottom of the well, above the pump.
