Water loading: a neglected factor in the analysis of piezometric time series from confined aquifers (Note). Journal of Hydrology: New Zealand, 34(2), 89–93.0022-1708https://hdl.handle.net/10289/10544Seasonal changes in the volume of near-surface water cause synchronous changes in the piezometric head of any deeper confined aquifer exhibiting a barometric response. Such loading-induced head changes occur independently of recharge effects. Time series models applied to confined-aquifer piezometric sequences may give erroneous results unless prior data adjustment is made to allow for water loading effects.application/pdfenThis article has been published in the Journal of Hydrology: New Zealand.
