@finn Ahh, you caught me... my work takes me all over the #Rhine #watertable so on occasion I will also post from countries all along its length, such as but not limited to France, and also the Netherlands. I tend not to spend any more time in Liechtenstein than I have to, after a number of very rude posts to an earlier account of mine were, I suppose you could say "tricked" into a number of shall we say "embarrassments" (is this a word in English? "Peinlich" is the term in German but this has also been a source of being "tricked" so I am a bit wary of saying this I am afraid...) using that term "Liechtenstein" so I am a bit on edge about it...

Question for #geology and #science nerds,

Is there a way to find out how deep the #waterTable is on a given day in a given location?

For example, #weather apps/sites usually report the day's #precipitation accumulation and #forecast the next day's precipitation amount for each locale — and in a way that almost anyone can understand.

Is there an app or website for ordinary people to get that much time- and spatial- resolution on #groundwater levels in their area?

"As rural Arizonans face the prospect of wells running dry, foreign firms are sucking up vast amounts of the state’s groundwater to grow hay for Saudi Arabia and other wealthy nations. Now it turns out that a key investor in this water transfer scheme is Arizona’s own employee retirement fund."
