water table monitoring
Water table monitoring is the process of observing and measuring the level of groundwater in the soil. This is important for understanding how much water is available underground, which can affect drinking water supplies, agriculture, and ecosystems. Monitoring typically involves using wells or sensors to track changes in water levels over time.
Data collected from water table monitoring helps scientists and policymakers make informed decisions about water management. It can indicate trends such as drought or flooding, guiding actions to conserve water or protect natural habitats. Effective monitoring supports sustainable use of water resources and helps maintain the balance of ecosystems.
