Piezometer definition

Piezometer means a device consisting of a length of metal or plastic pipe, open at the bottom or perforated within a specified interval, and used for the determination of depth to water, permeability or hydraulic head within a specific soil horizon or substratum.
Piezometer means a permanent or temporary well that may be designed and constructed without the surface sealing or sand filter pack requirements of a monitoring well. This type of well is primarily used to detect the presence of free product or collect water-level elevation data to aid in determining the direction of groundwater flow.
Piezometer means an alternative word for an observation well.
