The Answers To Groundwater Problem Lysimeters, Piezometers And Tensionmeters

The talk throughout Washington Terrace these days is of lysimeters

, piezometers and tensionmeters. To engineers, these words are devices used to measure water levels, but to Washington Terrace residents these words mean hope for ending an underground water problem which has plagued residents in certain parts of the city for several years.

$75,000 is the estimated price for a project that includes the underground drainage system which after some time will be turned into a storm drain. In building up that system, 15 inch pipes segments should be put up at a level more than two feet beneath the basement level of homes in the area. After which, the open divisions will be encircled by gravels to tolerate the ground water to drip into the pipe. To be able to monitor the quantity of water and the surface water that flows in the underground pipe and seeps into the ground respectively, measuring devices will be installed and a local university student will handle the project. In no time, the work began with the putting up a gigantic cylindrical lysimeter in the city's Central Park. A cylindrical tank contains a another big tank filled with soil is buried beneath a layer of grass to imitate the layers wherein surface water must flow through before becoming part of the ground water flow.

At the center field line of the park's baseball diamond lays the lysimeter where a staircase can be found leading to the device quantifying water soil. Piezometers and tensionmeters are the devices used to measure the deepness of water table along the underground drainage system and the amount of surface water respectively. But these devices have not all been installed yet which they act as some kind of a mechanical root.

Water is drawn by the tensionmeter out of the ground then returns it back to the soil as turf begins to parch up. Only two sets of these mechanisms will be installed in the city park and another two sets on a private residence study area because these devices are pretty costly. In knowing whether to water to the turf, tensionmeters are used.


The use of sprinklers by residents, the city, and two different churches will be included in the study of the uniformity and output of sprinklers. If enough residents cooperate, the tests may ultimately determine whether surface water is contributing significantly to the groundwater problem. The underground drainage system primary results show that it aids in diminishing the groundwater problem in the area. Some residents who have pumped water from their property in the past have been pumping almost negligible amounts since the installation of the system.


As much as 2.5 feet, the water tables dropped vigorously between the end of May and the middle of June, based on studies. According to another study, water escaping from its holding tanks plays a very irrelevant factor in the current groundwater situation. According to the main result of the study about surface water problem which is yet to be finished, the reason why there is over watering is because of the city.

Residents will learn about how frequent should water be used and how much water to be used after the sprinkler tests have been conducted. The city mayor is hoping that residents would be cooperative in attending the meetings where the results would be further explained.

The council needs to hear first the comments of the residents in order to decide whether to have extensive bonding for a major project or resume at a slower rate than before. Because of the preliminary success of this underground drain which is able to handle both surface and subsurface water, the mayor suggested that subdividers may be required to install this type of system in future land developments as a means of helping to eliminate the problem.
