4 Transducers Vented and Non-Vented Sensors In-Situ In-Situ
5 In-Situ 2017 In-Situ
6 Absolute (non-vented) Pressure Transducers: Absolute pressure transducers have to be compensated for changes in barometric pressure Post-correction of data introduces cumulative errors Easier to deploy Less expense on cabling Gauged (vented) Pressure Transducers: Do not have to be compensated for changes in barometric pressure More expensive cabling with vent tube which is susceptible to crushing Senor is susceptible to moisture damage from vented cable
7 Smart Transducer Dataloggers versus Level Sensors In-situ 2018 Datalogger Transducers have battery, processor, and memory built into the transducer. The downhole component is typically more expensive. Sutron 2018 Level sensors are either 0-5 VDC, 4-20 ma, SDI-12, or MODBUS slave components. They are sensors that must have an external source to provide power and to collect and store data. Some dataloggers can be utilized to collect downhole temperature and other water quality parameters. Dataloggers and level sensors, with the right components, can be connected to off site networks for additional data monitoring and storage.
8 Prior to Deployment 1. Inspect transducers for damage, clean, and inspect sensor element. 2. Check battery, memory, and logging cycles 3. Perform open-air test to ensure proper measurement and calibration of transducer. 4. Apply proper correction value for weight of water. 5. Calibrate water quality sensors 6. Ensure desiccant is sufficient for duration of deployment. 7. Collect static water level and measuring point measurements prior to deployment. 8. Ensure transducer is secure and protected after deployment.
9 Barometric and Precipitation Charts Off-Site Barometer On-Site Instrumentation Off-Site Precipitation Events
10 Barometric Efficiency
11 Manual Barometric Efficiency Calculation A quite data segment is important to calculate proper efficiency.
12 Pumping Curve with Barometric Efficiency Correction
13 Train Effect or compression effect of heavy objects moving across site compressing the aquifer structure. Time of train passing on track ~1,000 ft away
14 Transient Signals Monitor the system for transient signals
15 Transient Signal from off site pumping of well field approximately 1 mile away Pumping Cycle Recovery Cycle Off Site Pumping
16 Noise and Data Errors Transducer data error was Transducer malfunctioned and a new instrument was installed without cable calibration. Unknown if aquifer had declined or cable length was out of adjustment.
17 Hydrogeological Considerations Lithology Comingling Confined, Leaky, and Unconfined Aquifers
18 Combining multiple data sets to help understand aquifer characteristics Fining Upward Aquifer 72-Hour Pumping Test On Semi-log 25 GPM Potentially Leaky semi-confined Aquifer
