Measuring the Static Water Level and Depth of a Well

[@reganwestbrook4753]

Thank you! Great video, just what I needed to learn now.

[@RPSSolarPumps]

Glad we could help!

[@vinosubramoney2519]

Excellent instructions easy to follow.

[@charlespoindexter4193]

Drop an ice cube down the well instead of pebbles

[@Night-Trader]

Very informative, thanks for the presentation

[@RPSSolarPumps]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AccuracySpeaks]

What is the fall rate of the pebble in feet per second? Is it roughly, 24fps?

[@safffff1000]

Can use ice instead of a pebble?

[@RPSSolarPumps]

Yeah, great idea! Most guys don't have ice out in the field, but if you have some available, that would work just as well.

[@spiketaterman5181]

a remark like this is why I love the internet---what a great idea!

[@euonymus1980]

Great idea!!!

[@ahmedmusa3994]

Thanks

Great Job

Thanks Travis!

This well has no pump or whatever in it so measuring the water level should be easier. Looking for a video that has pump

[@ronaldsiegrist156]

what about on a shallow well pump, just install vacuum guage on pump head and take a reading then multiplying by 1.21 x the reading.

[@LOLsinang]

Do you mind if I link this video in an ArcGIS Story map I am creating?

[@RPSSolarPumps]

sure!

[@lmssalim4316]

please, can I extract the height of the water level from the formula (h= elevation of earth surface - depth to water) ? and thank you so much.

[@woodchucker1337]

No mention of depth?

[@NBPostman]

Well levels change with climate change. Is there something that you can setup in the well that would be able to monitor water level through a meter so we can check water level at anytime while the well pump is installed

[@matthewvanduyn9502]

Can you use the 300ft. tape with a weight method with the pump in the well still or would it get caught ?

[@RPSSolarPumps]

Probably but be carefull. I would use a smaller dense weight and use electrical tape to cover any sharp edges that could snag.

[@knowledgeshortvideos]

Is it possible for 500 meters depth well?

[@tmeinc]

Interesting and informative video but drop a calcium chloride pill, small swimming pool chlorine pill, piece of rock candy or something that will plop then dissolve and be food grade.

Why not drop an ice cube instead of a pebble?

[@johnslattery9424]

hang on I've got one in my pocket !

Oops, I dropped my phone by mistake😮, need a fishing line now😢.

[@cadetw46]

Use an ice cube instead of a rock!
