The problem I have is that I followed the gravel up the ravine behind the dam and hit the rock shelf The layer of gravel is under the shelf So I want to bust through and continue sealing it until i'm above the water level
The reason I installed the pipe was 1) I couldn't break through the rock so 2) I figured that I can monitor the water movement by installing the pipe
So now that I have a constant flow of water I will pull the pipe out and continue sealing the gravel way past the water level
I made a little diagram hope this makes sense to you
