about

Wind and Rain is the first of a number of releases focused on Coonamessett Pond, the artificial headwaters of Coonamessett River. The weather conditions were windy at the time of these recordings, which occasionally led to the sound of waves, and little whitecaps. At a few points in the recordings you'll hear the sound of rain, which sounds similar to radio static when heard via hydrophone.

Coonamessett River's original geological headwaters are found at the springs of Broad River, south of Hatchville Road. A ditch was dug to connect the river to Coonamessett Pond so that herring and other fish could reach the pond for spawning. www.mass.gov/files/documents/2016/08/nf/dfwcoon.pdf shows a simple yet accurate map of the pond and gives some info on the pond: area of 158 acres, average depth of 19 feet, and 34 feet at its deepest point. It's a kettlehole pond, meaning as the glacier of the last ice age retreated, a large block of ice fell off dug into the sand. As the ice melted it filled the hole it had burrowed into.
