Monitoring Well Types and Standards
Having your own well on your residential or commercial property can be a great way to have control of your water supply. However, it also leaves you responsible for ensuring an adequate and clean water supply. An effective and convenient way to do this is by monitoring wells.
If you’re new to the concept, our experts at All American Environmental are here to answer all your questions. We explain the purpose of a monitoring well, the actual monitoring well definition, and how to ensure your monitoring well is installed correctly and successfully.
What is a monitoring well?
A monitoring well is a specialized, tube-shaped device that is installed in your land. The type and length of the well will vary based on the details of each property. The purpose is to measure the amount of groundwater available.
Monitoring wells also serve the purpose of allowing easy access for analyzing groundwater samples for contamination. For property owners with an on-site well, this is an important part of keeping their water supply healthy and plentiful.
What type of monitoring well is best for my property?
There are several types of monitoring wells. The specialists at All American Environmental will recommend the type based on your needs and your property’s water. The most common type is an individual monitoring well – a basic monitoring well placed in a specially drilled borehole.
However, if you need to monitor water at various levels and from various sources, you may require one of the other types of wells. A nested monitoring well or clustered monitoring well are two types that use multiple wells at varying lengths. The difference being the nested monitoring well contains all these wells within the same borehole, while clustered monitoring wells are each in their own borehole.
How do I know that I’m getting the exact monitoring well my property needs?
Given the important purpose of monitoring wells, you want to be sure that your monitoring well is installed correctly. Getting the proper type of well is also crucial.
