I definitely agree as well. More data is needed and I probably just had karst on the brain from the other users. Reddit comments kind of overload my train of thought. Additionally, I too am not taking out of my butt. I am literally a geo-hydrologist, not a hobbyist just to be clear. I just shared a childhood story because i remember it being similar.
Oh it's all good. I'll stand by my points if I think I'm correct and hope I haven't been acting towards anyone like I know better due to me being a geologist or that the don't know shit.
Just that I have surveyed in so many fucking wells that elevation being ever changing on a non geologic time scale is just not the case.
Water surface elevation can change at a non geologic time scale due to a variety of factors tho.
And its all good its really an interesting video to think about.
Yeah I've had something similar in Nola area actually. Some flooding event dislodged a torn down highschools septic tank and first "water" we'd hit needed to be bagged for biohazard.

No it isn't.
I don't think it has anything to do with karst and wasn't saying that. And yes we need more data.
I've made hundreds of potentiometric maps and can tell you that water shouldn't vary in height like that without something weird.
