These parameters are useful in saltwater intrusion studies in aquifers or also to monitor the impact of man-made activities on groundwater supplies.<\/p>\n<p>A final and important item to consider is the remote data communication (telemetry) element. Remote data communication from a groundwater logger can send updates hourly, daily, or weekly and can limit the number of required field visits to service the well. A variety of transmission technologies are available, though some (like GSM \/ GPRS) can be limited by the signal strength in your well area.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ott.com\/en-us\/products\/download\/technical-note-sensor-selection-guide-groundwater-12\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here<\/a> to read the full OTT Hydromet Groundwater Sensor Selection guide, or see the review the image below for a list of groundwater logger considerations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogottprod.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/GW-Parameters.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-168\" src=\"http:\/\/blogottprod.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/GW-Parameters.jpg\" alt=\"GW Parameters\" width=\"1188\" height=\"666\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Identifying the best level logger for your\u00a0groundwater monitoring\u00a0application can be a complex task with many different technologies available that are best suited for a variety of different measurement goals.
