Tutorial showing the step-by-step installation of a 2 m-deep groundwater monitoring well within a Louisiana floodplain characterized by clayey soils (Sharkey clay). In this case, a long-term data logger measuring barometric pressure is deployed. Post-processing correction for atmospheric pressure allows for the capture of the long-term hydrograph of the site. Wells such as this one can be used at almost any type of wetland site, including those with frequent overbank flooding, permanently inundated sites, or sites without flooding. This particular floodplain has been hydrologically disconnected from the river and only experiences flooding in the form of precipitation-driven ponding.
