The water continues to rise, and I continue to photograph and monitor the whole project.

The water is now above the level it was in September, the level it was due to leaking and late summer evaporation.

Previously it would rise evenly and fairly fast until it hit this point and then it would slow down. I have not noticed that this time. The water is now creeping closer to the spot where we dug the core ditch and there is visible settling of the ground here. I hope it settles, packs, and seals. So far so good.

I uploaded a few more pictures to illustrate this, found on my Flickr site:

This should be Set (C) November Water Level. If you have any trouble with the link, please mention it here.
