00:07.909 --> 00:09.965
My name is Derek Red Wine . I'm with

00:09.965 --> 00:11.853
the Geotechnical Branch Vicksburg

00:11.853 --> 00:13.687
District . And today , I'm gonna

00:13.687 --> 00:16.120
demonstrate how to read a poser . Um So

00:16.129 --> 00:18.409
one of the things that we need to

00:18.420 --> 00:20.642
understand about a poser is a Peters is

00:20.809 --> 00:23.620
typically a small diameter . Well , uh

00:23.629 --> 00:25.590
that will tell you the full water

00:25.600 --> 00:28.809
pressure in a specific location . And

00:28.819 --> 00:32.729
uh so when the pedometer is installed ,

00:32.740 --> 00:36.180
the top of the pedometer is surveyed in

00:36.189 --> 00:38.522
and then also the bottom is surveyed in .

00:38.522 --> 00:40.790
So we know the top elevation and the

00:40.799 --> 00:42.966
bottom elevation . So when we take our

00:42.966 --> 00:45.950
readings , we would uh remove the cap

00:45.959 --> 00:48.040
from the top of the pedometer , we

00:48.049 --> 00:49.827
would make sure our water level

00:49.827 --> 00:53.080
indicator is on the uh indicator would

00:53.090 --> 00:55.330
go in top in the top of the pedometer

00:55.830 --> 00:59.220
and then it would go down until it hits

00:59.229 --> 01:01.285
the water . When it hits the water ,

01:01.285 --> 01:03.470
it's gonna beat when it beeps , we're

01:03.479 --> 01:07.330
going to take a reading . Um And so

01:07.339 --> 01:10.519
our reading on the tape will be

01:10.529 --> 01:13.989
subtracted from the top of riser

01:14.000 --> 01:16.167
elevation and that's gonna give us the

01:16.167 --> 01:17.040
water surface
