Nonstationarity – The Importance of Hydrologic Observations and Data to Water Management
Water supply and management infrastructure is designed based on best knowledge of the local hydrology. Historically, stationarity has largely been assumed for these plans and designs, but increasingly elements of nonstationarity, from a variety of sources, can no longer be ignored.

Critical Local Element Part 2 – Measurable Saturated Thickness
A fundamental reason for monitoring water levels in a well is to understand the groundwater resource available to support a home or community, a farm, or a business. Wellntel shows how the exploitable groundwater resource, directly related to the measurable saturated thickness of the aquifer, can be tracked on Analytics Dashboard

Better resource management
Groundwater experts from four prominent Texas institutions have presented results of ongoing projects in partnership with Wellntel concluding that that Wellntel sensors “provide accurate and reliable continuous data with advanced cloud-based analytics at a low cost.

Water resources are changing more quickly than ever, in response to climate change, population growth and density, and industrialization. Ubiquitous water monitoring that includes real-time supply, demand and balance as its vital metrics and triggers is the key to managing water sustainably.
Tackling Uncertainty with Data Science
The uncertainty (or veracity) of that specific data and information is important to the confidence in the management decisions being made – decisions that affect communities, businesses, farmers and the natural environment
Data Science is Finally Coming to Water Research and Management
Can scientists and managers harness the power of the data and effectively turn it into the insight needed to make more informed water management decisions?

Monitoring groundwater levels is fundamental to recognizing and understanding drought
A Wellntel network is the perfect platform on which to design and implement local groundwater-monitoring programs and to enable local experts to identify and quantify groundwater droughts and to manage the impacts.

Farmers should track aquifer saturated thickness to plan crops and irrigation
Groundwater-dependent growers should establish monitoring networks early in the water year to quantify saturated thickness before the growing season. A direct relation exists between the saturated thickness of an aquifer and the groundwater volume available for extraction constrained by regulation and/or principles of sustainability. Under natural conditions, the water table of an unconfined aquifer will…

The 2019 Texas Drought – Water-Levels Observed in Pumping Wells
In the late summer and early autumn of 2019, Texas experienced severe to extreme drought over portions of Central, Southern, and eastern West Texas Regions. That drought is captured in weekly map images provided by the United States Drought Monitor, through a partnership between the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the…

Community-Based Groundwater-Level Monitoring Networks
Citizen science is increasingly crucial to sustainable resource management. A Community-Based Groundwater-Level Monitoring Network (Community Network) is a group of private wells – often pumping from the same local aquifer – in which groundwater level is measured regularly. The owners of these private wells – residential, industrial, agricultural – have made the decision to share…
