Why and how to install Piezometer?
According to CGWA guidelines, it is mandatory for industries to construct an observation well at a minimum distance of 50 meters from the borewell. Before purchasing the Piezometer, it is inevitable to ascertain the depth of the ground to decide its cable length. However, an extra cable length of 5 to 10 meters is advisory; in case of variation in ground’s depth; in future.
The installation of Piezometer needs complete knowledge and guidance. Let us comprehend the process of installation step by step:
1. Drill the observation well nearby 50 meters of the borewell after accurate survey.
2. Take a zero reading level of the Piezometer.
3. Lower down the sensor with cable into the well and mark the starting and end point of the cable.
4. Once the sensor touches the water level, it will display on the transmitter.
5. Keep the sensor in a terminal box away from the sunlight and water. It should be clean and dry.
