Good night from France,
Andy.

Hi PSN list,
I have a copy of The Amateur Scientist by = C.L.=20 Strong 1960. It is a collection of projects and articles from The Scienti= fic=20 American. In the Earth Science section are several articles on seismology= .. It=20 was this book that first got me interested in the subject. One article by= =20 Elmer Rexin describes using a float in a well to detect seismic events. <= br>I=20 happen to have a well under my house, it is cut into the limestone, the w= ater=20 surface is 10 Metres below the floor of the cellar. I know of one sink-ho= le on=20 the plateau above the village so It is possible that the well could be=20 connected to an aquifer in the limestone hillside. The well in the articl= e did=20 have a connection to lake Michigan and so acted as part of a giant=20 "U-tube".
Anyway, the point of all this is to ask if anyone = thinks there=20 could be an advantage in setting up some form of sensor in the well, and = if=20 so, have you any ideas?
Regards,
Andy
