Hi PSN list,
I have a copy of The Amateur Scientist by C.L. Strong 1960. It is a
collection of projects and articles from The Scientific American. In the
Earth Science section are several articles on seismology. It was this book
that first got me interested in the subject. One article by Elmer Rexin
describes using a float in a well to detect seismic events.
I happen to have a well under my house, it is cut into the limestone, the
water surface is 10 Metres below the floor of the cellar. I know of one
sink-hole on the plateau above the village so It is possible that the well
could be connected to an aquifer in the limestone hillside. The well in the
article did have a connection to lake Michigan and so acted as part of a
giant "U-tube".
Anyway, the point of all this is to ask if anyone thinks there could be an
advantage in setting up some form of sensor in the well, and if so, have you
any ideas?
Regards,
Andy
