* Locate the well in the deepest portion of the surface ponding area or where ponding most frequently occurs.

* Measure the depth of the water level sensor in the well, relative to the filter media surface to translate sensor readings into surface ponding depth measurements.

* Ensure there is a solid cap on the bottom of the well to provide a small water reservoir (e.g., 100 mm deep) to keep the water level sensor submerged during dry conditions. This practice also helps with checking calibration of the sensor.

|Well casing|| For deep wells, the well casing should be sealed at the surface to prevent surface water from flowing along the sides of the well and affecting internal storage reservoir water level readings. Bentonite clay is often used for this purpose.
