CTGCD Installing Well Monitoring Equipment
Comal Trinity Groundwater Conservation District (CTGCD) General Manager, H.L. Saur (left), installed the fifth of twenty-one Wellntel water level monitoring set-ups. The Wellntel next-generation measurement technology and cloud platform was chosen by the CTGCD to kick off and streamline Trinity Aquifer data collection. Sensors deployed on domestic and agricultural wells use private internet connections to seamlessly stream data via the cloud only to the well owner and the CTGCD office. It uses cellular data collection with data streaming from owner approved Comal County locations. The accurate, rich data sets are accessed via secure, online accounts and are ready for CTGCD viewing, analysis, and report creation. The Wellntel cloud platform makes groundwater visible for the private well owner as well as the District staff which report to the District’s Directors to help in broadening resource understanding, facilitating trust and support the District’s management decisions. The state-of-the-art acoustic technology enables continuous timed water-level measurement without touching water, making it easier to analyze pumping impacts and seasonal recovery – even on private land where water-level stress is often felt first.
