Thank you for the chuckle. I do things that revolve around ground water conditions so for me its interesting.
My Detroit auto show pictures in the photo section are more interesting (to me, at least).

there's this big fusion ball in the sky that's a 100% steady state no fluctuation zero deviation energy source, right wild eyed LIBS? It's all man made global warming! ( Even though we're at the peak solar cycle but that's just science... Let's all follow Darryl Hannah... om mani padme hum... )
Weather vis-a-vis climate=comparing apples to oranges.
Ground water vis-a-vis rainfall=comparing apples to oranges.
If you don't understand the differences, you're just contributing to the dumbing down of America.

If it was neon and I had a joint it would be amazing dude!!!!

Weather and climate are the same, only the time frame is different.
Ground water most certainly IS affected by rainfall.
And you call people dumb??

This thread is awesome...a bloke posts a moving picture, no commentary, and all of a sudden, people are screaming GW (not groundwater), and calling people names...good work.
mechtech2 is correct, groundwater is recharged when it rains.
The ground water level local to here rose over 2 metres in the rains a few years ago, and have stayed there...highest recorded in over 20 years.

Good work doitmyself. Pay no attention to the other ignorant comments....after all, look where the first stupid comment resides....'nuff said!
To some it's tempting to say "reading through forums is like reading a magazine....if you don't like what you see, keep your mouth shut and turn the page (or in this case, click away)".....a very simple solution to a very complex problem....namely, people.

Sorry, Crinkles. Here is the site where the animation came from:

I haven't studied the site and methodology to determine if it is legitimate, but I am just generally intrigued regarding today's science and technology.

I agree with one of the previous commenters that rainfall is variable and droughts come and go.
Having said that, I understand that the depletion of aquifers may be a serious issue for our neighbours in the future and this sort of research can help determine what is a sustainable use of this resource.

I'd say they are 100% full of acrp. Florida is in a severe drought? I call Bull on that. I live here, we are very nearly underwater. My 33 foot deep well is full to the top, and has been for years.
But more interestingly, the everglades in my immediate back yard (yes I really live on the exact border) (there is nothing behind my house except everglades) is completely wet this winter. That's unusual, as it often dries out in winter.
I'm raising the S-B flag on this one.
