An observation well means a non-pumping, non-potable well used for measuring groundwater levels or potentiometric surface. Observation wells can be used to show that a well is obtaining water from an isolated aquifer, or perhaps that the aquifer is connected to other aquifers or surface water. Piezometers are excellent for capturing water flow, strata permeability, and depth of water pressure.

Earthen Pond An earthen pond is an artificial lake or pond created by shaping and building an earthen or dirt embankment around a depression or low-lying area. These ponds are commonly used for recreational or ornamental purposes and can also serve as water sources for livestock or irrigation. Regular Monitoring: Keep an eye on water levels. Debris Removal: Clean out leaves, branches, and other debris. Aquatic Vegetation Control: Manage plant growth. Long-Term Sustainability: With care, earthen ponds can thrive as safe habitats for both wildlife and humans
