Description

A groundwater velocity probe comprising a surface with a first portion and a second portion, means for injecting a tracer proximate the first portion, first means for detecting the tracer proximate the second portion, and means for measuring time elapsed between injecting the tracer and detecting the tracer. A method of measuring groundwater velocity in an aquifer comprising the steps of providing a groundwater velocity probe in an aquifer, the groundwater velocity probe having a surface with a first portion and a second portion, means for injecting a tracer having a characteristic property proximate the first portion, means for detecting the characteristic property of the tracer proximate the second portion, and means for measuring time elapsed between injecting the tracer and detecting the characteristic property of the tracer, injecting the tracer proximate the first portion, starting a timer in a datalogger, detecting the characteristic property of the tracer proximate the second portion, inputting an electrical signal representative of the characteristic property to the datalogger, and measuring time elapsed between injecting the tracer and detecting the characteristic property with the datalogger.
