Methodology for prediction of shallow groundwater levels

摘要

A method for prediction of groundwater level fluctuation. This approach involves using groundwater observations for the determination of rate of decline due to infiltration and rate of rise dues to precipitation for the groundwater level at a site, followed by use of those rates with historic precipitation records to estimate the extent of historic saturation and inundation periods at the site. This information can then be used as an objective criterion for the delineation of jurisdictional wetlands and other similar applications.
