If bedrock has small fractures, water may move in any direc- tion, even opposite of gravity. Think of holding two panes of TRACEYMAY KALVAITIS is a member of the Conservation Commission. glass, vertically. If even a few drops of water reach the bottom edge, the water will rapidly move up to cover a huge area between the panes. Another possibility occurs when underground pressure changes from movement we may or may not sense at the surface. The tectonic plate that is the raft for the continent of North Amer- ica is constantly moving westward, one inch per year. Think of the gradually sloping shores of our eastern seaboard (the trailing edge) contrasted with the rugged coastline of California (the leading, crumbly edge). Underground movements, even small ones, may increase pressure in some areas and water would quickly move out of an area of high pressure and into an area of lower pressure, regardless of the pull of gravity. Because of the unpredictability of how water moves, we cannot even assume that the rain that falls on our land is actually feeding the aquifer that our wells access. We are fortunate that Dublin- ers have a history of forethought and careful consideration of the importance of water. Our largest aquifer, located under Mud Pond, is now owned by the town thanks to a four-year effort from local citizens. To ensure water quality, we have agreed to, whenever possible, allow a 100-foot buffer between the edge of a wetland
