Village of Barrington Hills Monitoring Well
|
Water Level Chart
The
charts below show the history of water levels in the Barrington Hills
monitoring well over the course of a year. The level is shown in feet above mean sea level
(AMSL) meaning that the groundwater in this well is approximately 100
feet below ground surface. Periodic
pumping for use at the Village Hall and irrigation (seasonally starting
in July and ending in October) can be seen in the draw-down and recovery
of the water level. Water lever information over a longer period of
time can identify long-term changes or trends
in water level.
| Fast Facts:
Ground surface elevation is 891 Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL). Water level is around 780 AMSL - in other words, 111 feet below ground surface. The 10-20 foot spikes in the graphs are draw-downs when the well pump refills the tank. High frequency draw-down/recovery after July 2010 demonstrates irrigation system pumping.

Weather Station:
Collecting weather data (temperature, precipitation, etc) is an important piece of understanding groundwater supply over a longer period of time. The Village of Barrington Hills has located a weather station in the same area as the monitoring well to be able to have both weather and water level information for the same location. Visit the weather underground page to view the history of this station (KILBARRI7).
