How to determine yourself where there is water on the site - for drilling a well or digging a well. Old folk way

In today's article, I will tell you about a very simple and effective method for finding water on a site. Many do not know about him, and in vain!

First, we need to take several three-liter cans or identical pots. If neither one nor the other is at hand, you can cut the five-liter bottles just below the neck.

Note that the search for water should be done exclusively in dry weather. Otherwise, the earth will be saturated with excess moisture (fog, dew, rainwater, etc.), which will negatively affect the final results.

Let's get started! We dig the jars / pots / bottles into the ground by 10 - 15 centimeters. Leave a distance of about 1.5 meters between the containers. We are waiting further. You need to leave the containers in the ground for 8 - 12 hours (best of all - overnight). When it just starts to dawn, we set off to evaluate the results.

I advise you to have time to do this before sunrise. Some containers will just become foggy from the inside. In others, the walls inside will be covered with drops of water. This is what we need!

Dig or drill in the place where the most water has appeared in the containers.

If underground sources pass under the ground, it is saturated with moisture. Our ancestors used the above method to find sources. Please note that in order for the results to be as close to the truth as possible, you need to use containers of the same volume.

There is another option to help determine the nature of the soil. It used to be used during construction. You can dig small holes in the area and leave overnight. In the morning, the excavated earth should be returned to them.

If it is not enough to completely fill the hole, this indicates dry soil. This means that the area is suitable for building a house. If a hill forms in the hole, then the soil is saturated with moisture and it is best to organize a vegetable garden on it.
