OTHERPLANE

Subject: Top View

This procedure is only applicable upon verification of the water location in the area. The initial approach is to verify the position of the void and water in the same location. Upon confirmation, an initial visual survey of the area is necessary to predict the next move to be made. The terrain formation is important because of the undulating formation of the ground surface. A Northern reference must be established at the beginning of the survey. This is going to be the starting point of the mapping.

Acquire the water table depth in a different locations and get the depth readings. Once satisfied that the readings are consistent, then that reading will be used for the water table depth. After identifying the outer limit of the water table, proceed by following the edge of the water until you arrive at the same location where you started. It could be a small perimeter or a vast area. It's a good practice to put a marker every ten yards or any comfortable distance so the entire area can be recognizable later on. Different color marker is highly recommended for the water table and the void. Repeat the water table procedure for the perimeter of the void. Subtract ten feet from the water table reading and used that reading for the void reference. If the client wanted to see the entire void representation, then double the distance every step up until its close to the surface until the perimeter will get smaller and smaller.

In order to get the approximate volume of the water below, the void must be followed all the way to the bottom of the reservoir. Find the center of the water perimeter and measure the bottom of the reservoir. This is going to be just a reference. This will be used to identify how many cuts are needed to reach the bottom. Once its close to the bottom, then the cuts should decrease accordingly. On the way to the bottom, mark areas where big cracks or holes that are leading outward. These could be a part of another chamber with ample supply of water connected to the water chamber of concern.

After the survey, analysis of the water chamber can be charted. This information will provide the client with a long term water prediction and management.

Subject: Side View

The purpose of the side view diagram is to identify all possible cracks and holes exiting or entering the chamber of concern.

This is critical to the client's long term water availability versus consumption. It will also provide the client with a visual picture of the water reservoir , wherein, the depth of the pipe can be estimated. The location of the pump must be situated in the deepest area of the chamber. This strategy will protect the client in avoiding any natural obstructions that are not identified before. This will also give the client the long term usage of the water below.

There are several ways of getting the side picture of the water below and its adjoining chambers if it's there. The snapshot for the side view can be acquired from the readings taken from the top view procedures. It can also be map on top of the ground if it's feasible. Meaning, if the reservoir is small enough that it can be plotted manually. The actual snapshot of the target below can be reflected above the ground. This feature of our mapping procedure will be dictated by the feasibility of the terrain.
