Abstract

A water table level in an unconfined aquifer fluctuates due to recharge, discharge and horizontal groundwater flow. A water table hydrograph represents the fluctuations of the water table due to these processes with respect to time. Therefore by analyzing ahydrograph, it is possible to estimate net recharge to a water table aquifer. This technical memorandum presents the general guidelines for installation of piezometer and construction of a water table hydrograph. Methods to estimate recharge from a single water table hydrograph and from hydrographsfor a network of piezometers are presented. This memorandum is intended for field practitioners
