Abstract
Method and apparatus for monitoring the water level in the ground in which a casing hole is formed in the ground by driving a solid rod into the ground which compresses the ground material to form a compacted but porous wall for the casing hole. The rigid rod is withdrawn and a perforated tubular member of lesser diameter than the inner diameter of the casing hole is inserted into the casing. The water level rises within the tubular member and a dip-stick is inserted into the top of the tubular member to measure the water level. The dip-stick or the tubular member has a stop to limit the insertion distance of the dip-stick.
