Groundwater flow meters that measure horizontal groundwater flow direction and velocity have been used in several different investigations by the USGS across the nation. Historically, flowmeters were used to measure groundwater flow related to contaminant plumes (TCE, PFAS, etc.) to assist in remedial actions or site characterizations in in relation to aquifer tests to determine the area of influence from groundwater production. Recently, as part of the NGWOS Illinois Basin Study, groundwater flowmeters have been deployed at real-time continuously recording stations at two field sites to help quantify groundwater and surface water interactions between streams and the surrounding agricultural setting. This presentation will include an overview of the available technologies, proper deployment and use, case studies and best management practices.
