Abstract The U.S. Geological Survey has been Involved, for many years, in a variety of ground water data collection and sampling programs. The constraints imposed by logistics and the environment often preclude the use of commercial and industrial equipment; thus the survey is forced to do in‐house design and development of selected instruments or modify existing equipment to fit the specific need. Ground water instrumentation currently being designed and developed include: (1) running time totalizer (2) cross‐correlation pipe flowmeter (3) ground water monitoring system, and (4) small‐diameter deep well pump. A description and principle of operation for each of the developments are presented.
