2 PVC pipes in the swamp

Anybody know what these are? I found several sets of 2. Always one short, one tall. It was in a Marsh grass/phragmites clearing in a big cedar/black spruce tamarack swamp.
Some sort of water level thing? Pretty remote area. At least a mile through thick swamp from the nearest access.

Any colleges nearby? Could be a water level, vegetation growth, etc survey.

Looks like some kind of study going on. I have seen those before.

Those pipes are placed by huffers for a quick hit of swamp gas on the way to their stand. I've heard it's similar to CBD oil for pain and an all around miracle cure.

my guess is piezometers, used to measure static water levels. Some swamp study thing. Sorry no jokes, JM and TOG hit that well :clap: :clap:

Underground military bunker?

They require vents to the surface for oxygen.
Caps keep rain out to prevent mold growth and open at night on nights without rain?

Start digging down and see how long till men in suits show up lol.

In and imagine anyone going that far in for science. Would imagine they could conduct their study much closer to access.

I’m interested in the answer too.

You try sending the pic to your local conservation officer?

Piezometers like Lou said. Put them where you need the data points. Measure water levels, quality, and how fast water can flow through the ground for groundwater. So stuff 99.9% of the general population doesn’t have much interest in.
