To measure the depth of ponding and the rate at which the ponding water infiltrates, install a shallow well with a water level logger:

* Use a perforated pipe (a piezometer) that will allow surface water to enter the well but will help prevent sediment from accumulating within it.

* Locate the well where ponding occurs first - near the inlet or the lowest point in the feature.

* Locate the well where ponding occurs first - near the [[inlet]] or the lowest point in the feature.

* Measure where the ground surface is relative to where you will be taking your water level measurements.

* Ensure there is a small reservoir in the well to keep your level probe submerged in dry conditions. This practice will also help with calibration.
