Improving the method of monitoring groundwater levels in production wells of the Kamchatka Territory

Summary

In accordance with the Water Strategy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2020, as well as with the Rules for the technical operation of public water supply and sanitation systems and facilities, workers of water utilities must control the static and working groundwater levels in operating water production wells. However, in practice, this control is not actually performed. The main reason is the lack of advanced measuring instruments at the enterprises, as well as specialists who could control the operation of the well. The purpose of the study is to justify the need of using advanced automated means of measuring the level of groundwater at water supply and sanitation facilities. The modes of changing the static and working groundwater levels in the water production wells of the Kamchatka Territory are studied. The research results showed that monitoring shall be carried out with automated devices that will provide for reducing the work labor input and transportation costs as well as for increasing the reliability of the measurement results.

Key words
