• Use of ultrasonic level transmitters / Receivers is being explored to detect the target, water level in this case, which reflects the acoustic pulse back to the sensor. The system then measures accurately the time taken by the pulse to return to the sensor by a Lab-view based application in a portable computer and computes the distance to the target after careful echo signal processing.

• If accurate measurement of groundwater levels in the bore wells is possible from the surface itself with out having the need to connect cables etc this can become a useful tool to many geo-hydrologists. Measurements of draw down in the pumping well can be simplified to a mere press of a button when desired. This also forms a handy tool, simple and faster and also a utility tool for water level measurements in polluted wells.
