JOIN US FOR OUR NOVEMBER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BRANCH MONTHLY MEETING
This meeting will be hybrid.
PRESENTATION:
How to Get the Most of Your Transducer Data
PRESENTATION INFORMATION:
Consultants and agencies dealing with water resources issues across the United States install transducers in monitoring wells to collect millions of groundwater level measurements daily. Typically, the analytical focus is on water level fluctuation over time. Such a focus deals only with long-term trends or, at best, a signature of a nearby pumping well. The information that can be extracted from the time domain is only a small part of a much larger picture; this is due to the limitations of tools that analyze data in the time domain. By switching to the frequency domain and using signal processing tools, it is possible to extract a full range of valuable information that can lead to a better understanding of the functioning of aquifers.
