Groundwater recharge - Open pit
Groundwater recharge - Open pit
(OP)
I have several months water elevation data for the recharge of an abandoned open pit. I am wanting to make future predictions of water elevations within the pit. Is there a formula or standard curve which I can apply in order to make a reasonable prediction?

If you have any well data from the surrounding area, you can plot water level elevations and get an idea if the water level in the pit is stable or not. If there is a dent in the water table centered around the pit, it is possibly filling up, (or draining a higher aquifer into a lower aquifer..) Anyway, the more project area water level data that you can get, the better.
