A New Multilevel Ground Water Monitoring System Using Multichannel Tubing
A new multilevel ground water monitoring system has been developed that uses custom-extruded flexible 1.6-inch (4.1 cm) outside-diameter (O.D.) multichannel HDPE tubing (referred to as Continuous Multichannel Tubing™ or CMT) to monitor as many as seven discrete zones within a single borehole in either unconsolidated sediments or bedrock. Prior to inserting the tubing in the borehole, ports are ...

Westbay System Reduces Construction Costs by 65% - Case study
CHALLENGE OCWD had determined that information on the piezometric level and water quality of each aquifer layer was required to optimize management of the recharge, storage, and recovery of groundwater. SOLUTION A cost analysis indicated that for 10 zones through a depth of 1,500 ft, the Westbay System instrumentation would result in a total cost 55% to 65% lower than that for clustered wells or ...
