The invention discloses a method for observing the water level of multilayer underground water. The method comprises the following steps: S1, punching; S2, preparing a pipe; S3, observing a water level; S4, transmitting signals; S5, receiving the signals; S6, arranging data. A visual observation method is adopted, the water pump is used for pumping underground water at different heights for observation, and the height of the underground water level is visually observed. Equipment used in the method is ingenious, the equipment is not easy to damage, manufacturing cost is low, the underground water level observation device is durable in use, a large amount of equipment funds can be saved, popularization and installation of the water level observation device are facilitated, and scientific research funds are saved. The method can observe the underground water level in a circulating mode, cannot damage the underground water level, protects ecology, can observe the underground water level for a long time, collects data, and lays a data foundation for other hydrological scientific researches.
