Wet enough for you? :-)


Well, yes, but considering the severe weather warning that was out for us this
morning, we didn't get as much as I'd have expected. I've recorded 11.9mm
today, and 15mm yesterday. It's made the 1 inch I was hoping for, but not
by a lot.

I just checked the spring, which I suppose will take a while to respond,
as I assume the water takes quite some time to come down through the hill,
and the collection pool is up about 5 inches above the point from where our
pipe extracts the water. But that's still a foot or so down from its usual
level (though of course we're now extracting a constant trickle from it to
replenish our tank).

With any luck, though, we should now get through to the wet weather we
should be able to expect in the coming season.
