<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMORBI: An 18-foot-deep well in a remote village in Gujarat\u2019s Morbi district has drawn widespread attention after it began showing continuous waves and ripples on its water surface, leaving locals intrigued.While the unusual movement has sparked curiosity, officials said no seismic activity has been detected in the area to explain the phenomenon. They suggested that air escaping through cracks or gaps in the rocks beneath the well could be causing the water to ripple.Villagers, commuters and passersby gathered in large numbers at the spot to witness the unusual activity, which has been occurring for the past five days.The mysterious waves have left locals puzzled, with some fearing a possible connection to seismic activity.However, district Geologist J S Vadher ruled out such a possibility, saying the phenomenon was unlikely to be linked to any seismic activity.“This is not a seismic activity. Prima facie, it appears that following heavy upstream rainfall, groundwater is recharging and air trapped in the pore spaces of rocks is being released, causing the disturbance in the well,” Vadher told PTI on Thursday.He further said that officials had consulted the Institute of Seismological Research in Gandhinagar, which confirmed that no active fault line exists in the area.Morbi district collector Swapnil Khare said a team from Gandhinagar will investigate the unusual phenomenon to determine its cause.“We have informed the Gujarat government about it, and a team from Gandhinagar will visit the site for further investigation,” he said.The owner of the farm where the well is located, Pranjivan Sadariya, said he first noticed the unusual activity on August 2.“When I arrived at my farm on Sunday, water from the well was spilling over the edge, and the same thing has continued ever since,” he said.Sadariya added that the well was constructed about three months ago.(With agency inputs)<\/span><\/div>\n Villagers, commuters and passersby gathered in large numbers at the spot to witness the unusual activity, which has been occurring for the past five days.
