Is it possible to sense the depth of a well?
I use BC Quarries quite often, but I want to be able to monitor their progress through a computer. Is it possible to sense the depth of a well (or the quarry, or the water) using an item? Modpack is Tech World 2.

Option 1) You could use a turtle as the quarry, there are many programs already available which link to computers and the screens in CC(even terminal glasses) Turtles are pretty good quarries and when you add chunkloader to them and rednet they are incredible
Option 2) Write your own program for a turtle which connects to a terminal through rednet, have the turtle dig along side the quarry and tell it to stop if there is still a block next to it. then program it to send its Y coordinate to the computer.
You can use code that has already been written in other programs and put your code together that way.

How do I find out the depth of my well?
If you cannot see the top of water in your well then you can tie a fishing float or "bobber" to your string and lower it carefully into the well until it stops dropping. Mark the string at ground level. Measure that string length - that's the depth from the ground surface to the top of your well water.What is the average depth of a well?
Most household water wells range from 100 to 800 feet deep, but a few are over 1,000 feet deep. Well yields can be increased by fracturing the bedrock immediately around the drill hole and intercepted rock faults.How do you find the depth of water?
The most reliable method of obtaining the depth to the water table at any given time is to measure the water level in a shallow well with a tape. If no wells are available, surface geophysical methods can sometimes be used, depending on surface accessibility for placing electric or acoustic probes.What determines the water level in a well?
Electric depth gauge This is the easiest, and most common method to measure your well's static water level. This equipment typically consists of two wires with an electronic sensor that indicates when, and at what depth, the tape has hit water.Measuring Well Water Depth
