The waterlevel package is designed to simplify the analysis of well water level data in R. Currently the focus is on barometric/loading (BE/LE) efficiency, but the package is under active development.

Installation

remotes::install_github("jkennel/waterlevel")

Static Barometric/Loading efficiency

See the package vignettes for examples the methods.

Static BE/LE methods

  • be_clark
  • be_rahi
  • be_least_squares
  • be_acworth
  • be_high_low
  • be_ratio
  • be_visual

Response methods

  • Barometric response functions
    • Regular lags
    • Irregular lags
    • Distributed lags
  • Harmonic analysis
    • Specified frequencies
    • Specified Earth tide constituents earthtide package
  • Frequency response function

Future work

  • Decrease dependencies
  • fft methods
  • Add parameter estimation methods
  • Add analysis methods (slug testing, pumping tests)
  • Increase test coverage
  • Increase memory and computational efficiency
  • Gap filling methods (interpolation)
  • Add option to use parallel non-FFT distributed lag method
  • Distribute lag with subset
