  Subject: sensor in a well


  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.=20
  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,
