See full text

An apparatus measures changes in groundwater pressure in a borehole. The apparatus comprises: a probe consisting of a hollow tube having a smooth interior surface, an ultrasonic transmitter which emits ultrasonic waves down the interior of the tube, and an ultrasonic receiver which receives and registers the reflected ultrasonic waves; a means to raise and lower the probe so the tube is partially submerged in the groundwater; a means to control the emission of ultrasonic waves; a means to convert the time interval into a distance or pressure measurement; and a means to store or transmit the data.
