Statement

Seven wells/boreholes were carefully selected in order to install a logger sensor (Heron logger transducer) to provide a continuous measure of groundwater level. The sites were selected according to the location in the study area, the security of the waterpoint, the geology, the aquifer unit (in this case all the logger are installed in the shallow aquifer< than 50-meter depth). First, the loggers were programmed to take a measurement every 15 minutes and then re-programmed to take a measurement every hour. Before installing the sensor, the groundwater level was measured with a dipper and the sensor was then installed below the groundwater level depth in order to avoid that the sensor remained submerged. It was necessary to download data before the logger memory was full, and then re-program again to continue measuring.
