Groundwater Level, Groundwater Geoscience Program

Level below which soil or rock is saturated with water, in the well and at the time the level has been measured, expressed in m above the sea level. Groundwater depth is measured on the field, using a water level meters. The depth is then subtracted from the elevation of the measurement site to obtain the water level elevation. The dataset is a general description of the measurement site including location and well elevation. It features a series of points of the surface elevation of the groundwater body.

Title: General process description - AFSOQ -- Description: The dataset is built according to the file piez_meas.shp. The attribute table was modified. Groundwater elevation data comes from the Z field of the original attribute table. In the original attribute table there were several fields for well elevation and groundwater depth, data was different from one field to another. The equation: well elevation - groundwater depth = groundwater elevation was used to determined the groundwater elevation data to be extract from the original table.
