在英国,人们为获得更多关于含水层内饱和带与非饱和带水的移动情况,近来已推动了一定数目的仪器的设计和研制。非饱和带的仪表对非饱和带中地下水的研究,有两组新研制出来的自动化系统可供使用,用它们可量测柱状水力剖面和饱和带中的含水量。我们同样将介绍一种可用来精确监测自由水面的单道晶体管测井记录仪器。 In the UK, in order to gain more information about the movement of saturated and unsaturated water in aquifers, a number of instruments have recently been designed and developed. Unsaturated zone gauges For the study of groundwater in unsaturated zones, two newly developed automation systems are available for measuring the water content in the columnar hydraulic profile and in the saturation zone. We will also describe a single-channel transistor logging tool that can be used to accurately monitor free-surface water.
