Re: Rainwater Collection and Gravity Well Systems: How to?

My source is 475 about sea level. The biggest danger is sheep staggers (careful now) ... magnesium deficiency and the dead sheep might pollute the water.

My neighbour has his sewage tank upstream of his water supply..

The Dutch solution: culling!

"More than a dozen of the hunger stones, chosen to record low water levels, can now be seen in and near the northern Czech town of Decin near the German border.

The oldest water mark visible dates to 1616. That stone, is considered the oldest hydrological landmark in Central Europe, bears a chiseled inscription in German that says: “When you see me, cry.”

I built my own well 25 years ago. I have two 1960s Harp Lagers (smaller) tanks as backup in the back garden, No chorine, no secret agent neuros etc. No upstream sewage leaks.

Oh, the hunger stones. I heard they show around the world, but honestly I saw one on Elbe in a random summer long ago. No climate change to worry about ;-) Seriously, where I come from we now have sandy deserts where used to be river depths. Ship and water plane transport has been on halt for almost a month.

FWIW
"so low that some cargo ships in Germany cannot ..."
Do cargo ships sail the Rhine river in Germany?
These are barges that ship both way crude oil, oil products, biofuels, grains, metals, and a bunch of other commodities. People in the commodities industry track river water levels at key location in Germany e.g. Kaub using Elwis website. These data are also availalbe in the BBG Terminal.

In fairness, great mackerel fishing near those outlets. Great source of protein.
