Identification

Abstract

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 set intervals on the field, using a levelogger. The depth is then subtracted from the measurement site elevation to obtain the water level elevation. The dataset is a general description of the monitoring site, including id, name, location and elevation. It features series of numbers describing groundwater elevation with date and time of measurement. The dataset is represented as graph widget showing the water level over time.
