Ground Water Monitoring with Russell Jorden
A piezometer is a small-diameter observation well used to measure the hydraulic head of groundwater in aquifers. Russell Jorden has several of these on his Burdekin property. They have data loggers to track fluctuations in ground water levels over time. He also takes water samples which he tests for salinity. Rising water tables are a concern in the Burdekin and Russell monitors his irrigation to reduce losses to improve his furrow irrigation efficiency.
