What are Piezometers?
Pressure transducers that measure the level of liquid beneath the ground level, soil, or rock are called Piezometers. They monitor and indicate changes in the surface level.
Chiefly, Piezometer monitors and determines the flow pattern of underground water. The main objective of its installation is to maintain the required groundwater level. The government has formed a regulatory authority – CGWA, which issued guidelines wherein industries extracting daily 10 M 3 (10000 liters) water from the ground, need to install Piezometer.
In addition, Piezometer is also, sometimes, used to extract water from ground for testing water quality.
