Word has it that the pond at Suizenji Park is now either half-empty or half-full (rigth photo) depending on your perspective - but either is a huge improvement on the mostly-empty situation of the last few weeks (left). Kumanichi quoted a Kumadai professor whom I won’t name because he stated, basically, “Maybe it’s the recent rain, or maybe it’s something else. We don’t have the data,” which, frankly, is something any of us could have said. I’d guess that sediment is beginning to plug the gap between the upper and lower aquifers - but then again, I’m the one who assured you on 4/14 after the 6.5 quake that things were unlikely to get much worse. Grain of salt. - William
