static water level is the water level in a well measured after sufficient rest, when pumping no longer depresses the level.

What does static water level mean in practice?

It is the reference for drawdown but changes seasonally with aquifer recharge.

When does it matter?

A measurement taken immediately after pump shutdown may be too deep and not represent equilibrium.

Which solutions are related to it?

Measure from a fixed datum, record the date and compare it with pumping level and pump setting.
