Description:
In order to better understand the relationships between rainfall, slope
movement, and spring water quality 4
Roctest PWS-25
vibrating wire piezometers were installed to monitor water levels in a
possibly dormant landslide near a limestone quarry. Any landslide movement
was monitored using TDR sensor cables. A
Campbell Scientific,
Inc. CR10X datalogger was used to collect piezometer data every 15
minutes and control a Campbell Scientific, Inc. TDR100 reflectometer which
recorded signatures once per day. Data was compared with respect to water
levels, slope movement, and storm frequency and intensity. Data is
automatically downloaded to KANE GeoTech, Inc. offices once per week. The
system has been in continuous use since November 2000.
