Create Groundwater Head Map Using IDW Interpolation Method in ArcGIS

Understanding groundwater dynamics is crucial for water resource management, environmental protection, and engineering applications. In this video, we'll guide you through creating a groundwater head map using the IDW interpolation method in ArcGIS.
We’ll cover essential concepts like groundwater head (GWH) and groundwater level and show you how to practically apply these concepts to generate a useful hydrological map. Groundwater head, also known as hydraulic head, measures the energy or potential of groundwater at a specific point within an aquifer. It consists of two main components: elevation head (z) and pressure head (ψ), with the groundwater head (GWH) calculated as GWH = z - ψ. This measure is essential for determining the driving force behind groundwater flow, which always moves from regions of higher head to lower head.
Groundwater levels refer to the depth where the pressure head equals atmospheric pressure. This can be observed as the water table in unconfined aquifers or as the potentiometric surface in confined aquifers. Understanding groundwater levels is crucial for managing water resources, determining well depths, and monitoring aquifer recharge and discharge.
The groundwater head map, or potentiometric surface map, visually represents the hydraulic head distribution within an aquifer. This tool is vital for understanding groundwater flow patterns and aquifer behavior, aiding in effective water resource management.
Whether you're a hydrology student, a professional in water resource management, or an environmental enthusiast, this video will provide you with a clear, step-by-step process to create a groundwater head map using the IDW interpolation method in ArcGIS.

I would like to admire that you insist on interpolating the GROUNDWATER DATA, any of which IS NOT SUITABLE FOR INTERPOLATION. Please first look at why you cannot interpolate it and learn some groundwater hydraulics then find another data to teach IDW for the people. Or you will be remembered as the most insufficient and weakest hydrogeologist of all time by us, real hydrogeologists...
