In the search for groundwater, what is basic is the knowledge of the prevailing geology.This is the controlling factor that determines the feasibility of the water project and not the level of water in the hole when there is no pumping or by free flow.This applies any where whether in the arid zone or otherwise.The issue of water level comes in when the borehole is constructed assuming is not a free flow one,to give an estimation of the available column of water at that point in time that in turn guides you in selecting a submersible pump that may be alright for the safe operation of the water scheme.

Thank you Mr Fidelis. I am curious deriving table depth signatures. Is it possible to derive distinct transition signatures assuming you have the vertical geological data? What is the best method or approach to map the water table?
