Maine Earthquake Lowers Ground Water- Water in Monitoring Well Still Dropping

Maine Earthquake Lowers Ground Water- Water in Monitoring Well Still Dropping: "A minor earthquake that shook Maine Oct. 2 at 8:07 pm caused the water level in a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) monitoring well to drop more than 2 ½ feet. Nearly 17 hours later, the groundwater level was still dropping, according to scientists at the USGS Maine Water Science Center in Augusta. Hydrologists call the change in the well “dramatic,” and note that well-water users could notice changes in their drinking water. USGS hydrologists will continue to monitor this well several times per day. "
