Is there a safe and reliable way to measure the depth of the water table in my well? It's 4" pvc cased with submersible, probably 80 ft. I would like to monitor the water level because of this drought we are in.
I can't think of a good, simple way that would work. I can picture a weighted rope getting all wrapped up in the wire, etc.
Dad has several hand dug wells about 30' deep and we check them regularly with a steel rod hung from some rope. They are dropping and also not recharging nearly as fast.
All of the smaller municipal water supply companies around here use well water and they report no significant drop in levels recently. I believe they are in a different aquifer though, maybe 800'?
