Is it Possible to get a negative piezometer reading ??
(OP)
Hi All:
Is it Possible to get a negative piezometer reading ?? Which means the water level rose above the grade level. In our case we tried to dig few trial pits to see if the WT is @ ground surface. We could not see any water at GS. What could be the reason for negative piezometer readings ? Please let me know.
Thanks

Also, not seeing water in a shallow test pit does not mean that the piezometer is not working correctly. You have to penetrate the same material that the piezometer is reading to verify the data and even then it could depend on the permeability of the aquifer material.

Thanks for the input. I believe the artesian could be the reason.
