As per Central Ground Water Authority(CGWA), Piezometer is mandatorily installed within the premises and in peripheral areas to measure the ground water level periodically.
The auto piezometer provides accurate data on pore water pressure in any embankment, foundation or natural good. This is automatic system for unmanned recording of pressure saving a person to go in filed and take measurements. Another important feature is vented tube for automatic barometric pressure compensation and easy to use data downloading software application.
The system has three main components i.e Transducer, Signal cable and Data logger. Signal cable is vented yet strong, may be routed through underground trenches. Transducer is made from stainless steel 316 and installed below ground. Data logger the expensive unit is kept in the control room or in locking arrangement.
Transducer & Cable are rugged and may be installed at almost every location.
Transducer is installed at a known height and cable is installed through trenches. Data logger is a simple device simply needs a connection with the signal cable.
The datalogger provides flexible sampling interval as per the actual requirement at the site. Time interval may be anyone selectable from 1 m to 1440 minutes (1 day). Delay sampling is also possible since datalogger incorporates real time clock.
1000 records extendable up to 1,00,000 may be recorded in SCII format, compatible to almost every computer having windows and MS Office installed.
The ASCII file may be converted into EXCEL file for further analysis and graphs etc.
Rain water is a precious resource due to increase in demand from our ever growing population. Changes in rainfall patterns in the India have seen both drought conditions & flooding.
The central Ground Water Authority (CGWA) has made rainwater harvesting mandatory in all institutions and residential colonies in notified areas (South and southwest Delhi and adjoining areas like Faridabad, Gurugram and Ghaziabad). This is also applicable to all the buildings in the notified areas that have tube wells.
Rain water harvesting is one of the most effective methods of water management & water conservation. It involves collection & storge of rain water at surface or in sub-surface aquifer, before it is lost as surface run off. The augmented resources can be harvested in the time of need.
This is very useful method for a developing country like india in reducing the cost and the demand of treated water and also economizing the treatments plants operations, maintenance and distribution costs.
