So you must have been in the 10% of the areas for which rain is forecast. For the other 90%, same as usual....drought.

a 10% chance does not equate to throughout.

Last night had about 20 mins of rain not heavy,town itself recorded 4.9 mm,but i am about a cliick and a half out i dont think we got that much,irony was i had just watered the garden. I had a bore put in about a week ago he went down 50 metre,and according to my girlfriend found the 'eye of the water' which i take to mean he found a substansial artesian supply down there.

I think it was around 26,000 all up,including pipes ,submersible pump,ect ,ect,my guys charged me a flat rate of 15,000 for the drilling,some charge by the metre,as mine was 52 metre deep a good deal,they hit water at 22 metre,but he was not satisfied so they drilled another 32 metre,then hit rock and the 'eye of water' so a big pool of it,they used a compressor and water to blow all the sand and dirt out,the water is crystal clear,and unlike town water,which we have none of for maybe 2 months,apart from a couple of days,it does not stink like rotten eggs,and is not brown when you fill a sink,well worth the investment

when I worked in Burlington Vermont area, many people had fine artesian wells and pumps.  However quite often the water while pure had subtle but noticeable  sulfur smell to it.  geologically an ancient seabed, lots of minerals, etc.
