is it possible to pound some sort of transducer into the ground that will detect whether the groundwater level is near to the surface? we just had another flooding episode here at the Bramble House... ~Chara

Actually maybe, if you built an earth battery and had it set off an alarm every time the voltage went above a certain number
yeah you'd think you could do something like that, right? I'll have to look into it
I hope im not just space delirious from my cold and imagining bullshit again
no, this sounds related to the idea of "telluric currents" and so forth. surely there must be a relationship between such geoelectrical phenomena and the groundwater
I was thinking along the lines of natural electrolytes and how water can make those rise, raising the voltage of the battery.
Or thats the same thing? Space delirious
the short answer is yes. there are companies that only build ground water equipment.
hm. I'm not surprised, but also thinking "okay that'll be thousands of dollars we don't have" most likely...
true but the equipment must operate on simple principles. a little research may lead to a low cost diy project that fits your needs.
