Water Level Conductivityy Meter or M-scope <br />To obtain a water level measurement using a conductivity meter or M-scope, one <br />needs to open the well to allow for a well measurement, disinfect the probe, <br />lower the conductivity probe into the well until a 'beep' is heard indicating water <br />has been encountered, read the graduated tape attached to the probe at a <br />specified measuring point, and then retrieve the probe. <br />Pros: Graduated tape is accurate to 0.01', provides clear indication of water level. <br />Cons: Many wells do not have large enough access ports for the probe; probe <br />may become tangled with electrical wires while being lowered in well; time- <br />intensive process to deploy and retrieve in deep wells; may require two people to <br />operate in deep well; requires disinfection; depth limited to length of cable <br />attached to the probe. (The depth limit of the conductivity meters used is 1,500 <br />feet.) <br />1.1.2 Field Measurement of Autumn Water Levels <br />Phase 3 field water level measurements were collected during November 2005.Of the 112 wells <br />targeted for measurement, 83 were to be physically measured by CDM and 29 measurements <br />were solicited from other entities. Eighty-one of the 83 wells identified for measurement were <br />visited, and data were successfully obtained at 72 of these wells. <br />Notes made by the DWR during previous spring measurements were reviewed to identify <br />specific instructions for each well. If the notes indicated the well owner wished to be notified <br />prior to measuring the well, CDM notified the well owner before initiating the field activity. <br />Two sites were not visited, because the well owner could not be contacted during multiple <br />attempts. <br />An attempt was made to contact each well owner prior to measuring the water level in their <br />well by either scheduling in advance an appointment with the owner, or knocking on the door <br />of private residences. A letter describing the SPDSS and the autumn water level collection <br />process was provided to each well owner, either in person or by leaving the letter at the door if <br />no one was home. A copy of the letter provided is presented in Appendix B. <br />Including the above two cases of not making contact with the owner, 11 measurements could <br />not be obtained during this collection program. The reasons a physical measurement was not <br />obtained include: <br />• Access denied (1) <br />• Well was not located (1) <br />• Obstruction in well (2) <br />• Could not measure with equipment well owner requested be used (1) <br />• Unable to obtain definitive measurement (2) <br />• Unable to coordinate with owner who had requested contact prior to measurement (2) <br />• Water level deeper than equipment could read (2) <br />SPDSS Phase 3 Task 39 Technical Memarandum -Final <br />09/27/2006 <br />
