21 Example A Example B Example C Key 1 time 2 depth to groundwater level Figure 3 — Elevation of the groundwater level between measurements

Figure 4 — Continuous time series presentation 4.1.4 Validation of the measurements The validity of each measurement is described according to the type of measurement method used. Four scenarios are possible: a) Impossible to validate;

Suspect ;
d) Not valid ; By default, all values are specified as ‘Not validated yet’. The operator shall then assign one of the above- mentioned qualifications after examination. A measurement is validated when the producer believes that the data and all the different procedures used to produce them comply with the monitoring protocol. A measurement is not valid when the producer believes that the data or the procedures used to produce them do not comply with the measurement protocol. A measurement is "Impossible to validate" when the operator does not have the information available to determine the validity of the data production according to the measurement protocol ( e.g. historical data from archives). 4.2 Piezometer station 4.2.1 General A piezometer is one method of measuring the piezometric height at a point within an aquifer system. It indicates the pressure at this point, enabling the observer to record the phreatic level or pressure. In the data interchange, only the depths to groundwater level of a piezometer are exchanged.
According to the scope of this standard, the concept of "piezometer" is extended to all artificial structures (well, borehole, gravel-pit) or natural structures (swallow, hole, grottos) which enables the groundwater level to be measured. Each piezometer shall have a unique code given by the country where it is located. 4.2.2 Key features of a piezometer 4.2.2.1 General Each piezometer has two key features: the level measurement point and the altitude benchmark measurement point as shown in Figure 5.

Key 1 plinth 2 level measurement point 3 altitude of surface in relation to the national altitude reference system 4 depth to groundwater level 5 groundwater level 6 altitude benchmark point
Figure 5 —
Key features of a piezometer 4.2.2.2 Level measurement point The level measurement point is the location on the piezometer used as a marker to measure the depth of the groundwater level (for example: the side of the tube of the borehole, the edge of the well, the reference ground level on a gravel-pit, etc.). The level measurement point is 0, which is the basis for all depth measures. It applies to all measurement points. The real height is defined by using benchmark points. 4.2.2.3 Altitude benchmarks Altitude benchmark points are used to compare data from all the piezometers in an aquifer system in order to determine the groundwater level of the system.
Three main locations are generally used to establish an altitude benchmark point: the level measurement point itself (when it is a permanent fixture), the altitude of the surface level or the plinth altitude.

12354 Key 1 casing 2 unconfined aquifer 3 confined aquifer 4 impermeable layer 5 screens
Figure 7 — A borehole linked to two aquifers The lithology at the piezometer location should also be described, so that information on local variations in the general lithology defined for the whole aquifer can also be provided. 4.2.4 Piezometer history Many events can happen during the lifetime of the piezometer. This kind of information shall be stored with the date since it can be very useful to understand the time series described. These events might be:  a new topographic survey;  the building of a new collar/plinth;  a new measuring equipment;  the destruction of the piezometer head by works; etc. 4.3 Groundwater level producer At a given date, a piezometer is always the responsibility of a producer. The producer might change during the life cycle of the piezometer because the responsibility can move from one producer to another. It is therefore important to keep track of such changes.

 Describe the organization involved in the interchanges: who is sending what to whom, when, and
by what means ?  Prepare a formal document such as a contract agreed by the partners involved in the interchanges and containing all these aspects and any additional relevant elements that may prove necessary. 6 Object dictionary 6.1 General This directory contains a list of basic objects used in the field of groundwater.

 Aquifer system state;  Aquifer system nature;  General information on the aquifer system;  Comments on the aquifer system. 6.3 Measurement method used with the piezometer The measurement method used with a piezometer represents the history of the various methods which have been used with the frequency of the measurements carried out with the piezometer.
Information on the piezometer is the responsibility of the organization(s) providing the data and that uses the piezometer. This object includes the following information:  Starting date of use of the measurement method (object identifier);  Closing date of use of the measurement method;  Measurement method;
 Measurement frequency;
 Comments on the measurement method used on the piezometer.

6.5 Organization Organizations are private or public entities identified for the functions that they play (data producer, operator, etc.) in data exchanges. The list of organizations shall be defined by the partners involved in the data interchange. This object includes the following information:  Organization code (object identifier);
 Organization name;  Organization address 1;  Organization address 2;  Organization address 3;  Organization address 4;  Organization address 5;  Organization address 6;  Comments on the organization. 6.6 Operating period of a piezometer by an organization A piezometer is usually operated by a single organization, known as the manager of the piezometer. However, a piezometer may be managed by two or more organizations. In this latter case, only one organization is responsible for validating data produced.
The piezometer manager(s) can change in the course of time. The period during which an organization has been responsible for the piezometer shall also be specified.
The establishment of the management periods of the piezometer is placed under the responsibility of the organization(s) providing the data and that uses the piezometer.

 Starting date of the operating period of the piezometer (object identifier);
 Closing date of the operating period of the piezometer;
 Operator's internal code of the piezometer. 6.7 Period of association of a piezometer to a network Typically, a piezometer is operated within one monitoring network during a given period of time. In some cases, a piezometer may belong to several networks during the same period of time. This information is the responsibility of the organization(s) providing the data and that uses the piezometer. This object includes the following information:  Starting date of the association period of a piezometer to a monitoring network (object identifier);  Closing date of the association period of a piezometer to a monitoring network;  Operator's internal code of the piezometer. 6.8 Piezometer
Basically, a piezometer is a device to measure the piezometric height at a given point within an aquifer system. It indicates the pressure at this point, enabling the phreatic level or pressure to be observed and recorded. [Source: G. Castany, J. Margat (1977) French dictionary of hydrogeology, Editions du BRGM, Orléans, France]. However, for practical reasons, and in keeping with common practice, in this standard the piezometer concept is extended to all artificial structures (well, borehole, gravel-pit etc.) or natural structures (spring, swallow hole, grottoes etc.) which permit access to the groundwater to measure it. Theoretically, a piezometer is a device used to measure only one groundwater level. As a matter of fact, a piezometer can be used to measure several groundwater levels if it is linked to several layers separately.
Information on the piezometer is the responsibility of the organization(s) providing the data and that uses the piezometer. This object includes the following information:  Piezometer code (object identifier);  Piezometer name;
 Name of the piezometer location;  Type of piezometer;  Creation date of piezometer;  Closing date of piezometer;  Coordinate X of piezometer;  Coordinate Y of piezometer;

altitude;  Expression of the piezometer time series;
 Confinement condition;  Name of the town;  Piezometer lithology name;  Piezometer lithology type name;  Comments on the piezometer. 6.9 Piezometer altitude benchmark point The altitude benchmark point of the piezometer is a physical point located on the piezometer. Its altitude is measured (more or less precisely) to establish the elevation (z level) of the groundwater piezometric height. For a conventionally built piezometer (a tube rising above the ground level protected by a base or a plinth), three positions can be used as a piezometer altitude benchmark point:  The measurement reference mark (tube rim);  The upper rim of the base or plinth;
 The ground at the foot of the piezometer.
The altitude of these points can be obtained using two methods: either from the measurement carried out by a land surveyor or, directly from a map scaled at 1:25 000 or over (if it is the only source of information available).
The altitude of the altitude benchmark point may be expressed using different reference systems. Several altitude benchmark points of different types (mark, rim or ground) may be used for the piezometer at any given time. Information on the piezometer is placed under the responsibility of the organization(s) collecting data and processing them. This object includes the following information:  Type of the altitude benchmark point of the piezometer (object identifier);  Starting date of the validity of the altitude benchmark point (object identifier);  Closing date of the validity of the altitude benchmark point;
 Altitude of the altitude benchmark point of the piezometer;  Altitude reference system;  Method for the altitude measurement;

6.10 Piezometer event Events may occur on a piezometer. They include facts that the data producer using the piezometer may wish to record as they are considered as being significant to understand the lifecycle of a piezometer and interpret the data that are measured by the piezometer. EXAMPLES:  Rebuilding plinths;  Redefining the altitude benchmark point;  Installing a measurement device.
Information on the piezometer is the responsibility of the organization(s) producing data and processing them. This object includes the following information:  Date of the piezometer event (object identifier);  Description of the piezometer event.
6.11 Level measurement point The level measurement point is the physical point located on the piezometer housing, from which the groundwater level is measured. The difference of level between the level measurement point and the altitude benchmark point shall be known so that the surface altitude of the aquifer system may be determined. With a conventionally built piezometer (with a tube rising above ground level, and protected by a base or a plinth), the height is negative when the altitude benchmark point corresponds to the ground at the foot of the piezometer or the upper rim of the base or plinth. It is equal to zero if the altitude benchmark point corresponds to the measurement point. The description of the marker indicates to which altitude benchmark point the mark refers. The information on the piezometer is the responsibility of the organization(s) acquiring data acquisition or managing them. This object includes the following information:  Starting date of the validity of the level measurement point (object identifier);  Closing date of the validity of the level measurement point;
 Distance between the level measurement point and the altitude benchmark point;  Altitude benchmark point taken as reference;  Comments on the level measurement point;
6.12 Piezometric time series The piezometric time series is measured as a function of time and water levels observed at a given piezometer in an aquifer system.
Variations of heights are discretized to obtain a depth/time representation in the shape of a series of poly-lines.

Each depth is validated by one and only one of the organizations designated as the operator of the piezometer.
This information is placed under the responsibility of the organization(s) collecting data and the measurements on the piezometer.
This object includes the following information:  Date of the point (object identifier);  Time of the point (object identifier);  Point value;  Continuity code of the point;  Mode to obtain the point;  Point precision;  Point validity.
