Drought and water table replenishment

[CommanderJameson]

So there's a drought in the rubbish parts of the country. I get that, and I think I understand why it has occurred.

What I read is that we need a properly wet winter to get things back to normal.

Now, it's been pissing down for a couple of days. If it keeps it up for a week or two, how much will it restore the balance?

Is a wet summer any help in restoring water levels?

Note: although ph is a capricious creature, and threads go where they will, but if we could, I'd like to keep the feckless incompetence of the water companies out of it, and stick to the more geographic side of things.

That, my dear BSR, is what we scientists call a "hole".

Come on BSR it's been a while since we've had a good man in a tunnel thread. Go hunting for Nazi gold.

Ive just filled it up with builders rubble unfortunately.
I regret it, but its too late.
Either way Im almost certain it is a septic tank. We have another one for the house but then I remembered that our house used to be 2 houses years and years ago so it suddenly makes complete sense that it is

Shame

I was hoping for a thread with pictures of you excitedly exploring an underground brick box that used to be used to store other peoples' turds.
