Hydrology

Rain has been coming from the sky for the past week.  Some days only a quarter of an inch will fall.  Other days over an inch, up to two inches, falls within a 24 hour period.  The drops are big.

The ephemeral creek crossing our property has not flowed in over 4 years.  Its flowing now.
