Awesome aquifers is a very epic event. Can anyone help me out with rule clarification? Are we allowed to bring wells with pre-attached well screens?

I would guess you would be able to do just that. I think the rules say that you need to build/assemble the aquifer on site, not the aquifer parts.

Our proctors didn't check our boxes at all, so I don't think that would be an issue. Just curious, what are you using for your well/well screen?
ornithology, forestry, entomology, triple E, green generation, water quality, dynamic planet (lakes & rivers), awesome aquifers, meteorology, robot arm, write it do it. :)

Since we can't get activated charcoal, instead of food coloring what should we use for contamination (we dont have beads)?

Maybe some sort of powdered drink mix like Kool Aid. Fine-grain salt might work or salt water if you can filter out the salt with a coffee filter or some other form of filter. How about soda?

We are using very tiny wire mesh screens, that are small enough to not let sand pass through. I'm not sure where my partner found the stuff but it really helps

Oh sorry I only saw well screen not well, For our well we have really thin and rigid plastic tubing.
What are people using to show evapotranspiration ?

has anyone had to demonstrate artesian well pressure? It seems kind of hard to, but it's possible.
