The well is powered by solar panels and connected over satellite, and it has a depth sensor at the base that sends measurements every hour on the hour. It's been running since 2003. This project superimposes every year with data on each other, with the current year highlighted.

The project is hosted by Cloudflare, and is located at watertable.nove.dev
