What is a Piezometer?
A piezometer is a device used to measure the static water pressure or groundwater level at a specific point below the earth’s surface. It helps determine:
- Water table depth
- Pore water pressure
- Aquifer performance
- Groundwater fluctuations
- Seepage and infiltration
- Subsurface hydrogeology
Piezometers are widely used in civil engineering, hydrology, environmental monitoring, and disaster prevention studies.
Working Principle of a Piezometer
Piezometers work on the principle of hydrostatic pressure. When inserted into the ground, water enters the pipe or sensor chamber until it reaches equilibrium with the surrounding groundwater pressure. The height or pressure of the water column represents the groundwater level.
Two major methods are used for measurement:
- Manual method (standpipe piezometer)
- Automatic electronic measurement (digital water level recorders)
Saitechflow specializes in advanced digital systems that provide real-time monitoring and accurate long-term data.
