Installing Monitoring Wells/Piezometers in Wetlands

Abstract

Wetland scientists frequently need quantitative information about shallow groundwater regimes near wetland boundaries and in adjacent uplands. Monitoring wells and piezometers are some of the easiest means of determining depth and movement of water tables within and immediately below the soil profile. Most of the literature on monitoring wells and piezometers, however, deals with installation to depths greater than needed for wetland regulatory purposes.
