How to find water for a well Useful advice
If you have become the owner of a land plot in a beautiful, but far from civilization a corner, sooner or later you have to solve the problem of the absence of drinking water. To do this, find a source underground and dried well.

What layers of soil happens water
Most often, the layers of soil containing water can no more than 2-3rd. They can be at a very different depth. The so-called "subcutaneous" water is located closer to the surface. But it can only be suitable for watering plants and servo.
Water that is contained in deeper layers is much cleaner and better in composition, it is permissible to use it for drinking and cooking.
But the best water, which has a full range of natural minerals and nutrients, is at a depth of 30 to 50 meters.
Water that can be produced in the site, there can be different types, for example:
-
non-free. It is in the immediate vicinity of the earth's surface. After drilling well on the water, the arrangement of the mine or the well, it does not exceed the level on which it was opened to the opening of the soil layers. When a layer containing such water turns out to be on the surface during natural natural processes, a spring is formed;
-
pressure. This water is in deep layers under greater pressure, which arises due to the fact that the water-containing layer is groping between two waterproof. Therefore, after opening the layers, such water due to pressure rises into the resulting hole and exceeds the level on which it was located. Sometimes the pressure is so great that she begins to beat the fountain from under the ground.
Artesian applies to pressure waters, and the following types of free:
-
groundwater. Underground water formed from drop-down precipitation, as well as due to the melting of snow. It is also called the Ripper, because The depth of its breaking is within 3 meters. Minus it is that, due to the dependence on the number of precipitation, it is constantly impossible to count on it;
-
infiltration water. Water that seeps in a layer of soil from nearby reservoirs.
To get to a reliable and clean source, which is able to regularly provide clean and high-quality water in the desired volume, it is necessary to penetrate a decent depth.
How to find water in the country area
The methods of detecting sources under the earth used at the present time are divided into several groups:
-
search using aluminum frames;
-
analysis of plant resettlement on the site;
-
analysis of animal behavior;
-
professional way.
Frames are usually made of aluminum wire pieces or take a branch with a developing.
The search method can be made in several ways:
-
for the first of these, two wire segments are required from 30 to 40 cm. In length with curved 10-centimeter ends, which should form a straight angle. Ends are better to put in the tubes made from elderber branches, after preventing the core of them. It is necessary, in order for a wire frame, clamped in their hands, can rotate unhindered.
In order to start searching, you need to get up with the frames in your hands, elbows tightly press the sides, stretch the forearm parallel to the ground so that the wire is like a continuation of the hands. At that moment, when a person with a framework approaches the place under which underground water is hidden, they must be crossed. It is necessary to mark this place and then try to move perpendicular to the initial line of movement. At the point of intersection of mentally battered lines and is the desired source.
If the wire, intersecting, did not diverge for some time, it means that you went along the stream located under the ground.
- All described above can be done using and one frame. In this case, the device will warn about the location of the source or by rotation or deviation to one of the sides.
- You can also find water using a slightly dried tree branch having a split end. It takes her hands, spreading the ends about 150 degrees. Extending the hands forward, begin to walk along the ground, which you need to find water. Once you are torn off with a source, a wooden "plug" will pull out to the ground.
Search using plants is also very effective. The fact is that many of them grow in the locations of the groundwater, thus being a kind of indicator. Such plants are:
-
apple and plum trees, as well as drying cherries;
-
reeds;
-
sorrel;
-
maples, willow, alder;
-
wild currant bushes;
-
spiraea;
-
neprug, Horseta, Sail and many others.
Also for finding water can use some features of animal behavior:
-
dogs never fall at rest in those places where underground water flows, the cats are the opposite;
-
in those places where water is close to the surface of the earth, the chicken will never carry eggs, but geese with pleasure choose such places;
-
redhead ants, remove their heaps, always repel from the location of the groundwater - they will never settle close to them;
-
poles of moshcars and mosquitoes always go in the place where there is a source of water.
In addition to all of the above, there are several folk admission to help find water, hidden under the ground:
-
fog, lowly descending in the evening, testifies to the presence of a water source nearby;
-
large and abundant dew always appears where the water is located closest from the surface of the Earth;
-
if the soil layer contains water, then the bottom of the bank or the pot is covered with an exemplary, and the salt will become wet even in a dry time.
-
there is still one similar option with silica gel, which very well absorbs moisture. It must be dried in the oven and move it into a ceramic pot, then weigh. Recalling or writing the weight, the pot needs to be wrapped into a piece of matter and bury the day, on the half-meter depth there, where the underground source is presumably. After the day, it needs to dig and weigh it again. The more water absorbed the material, the closer to the surface is the source.
All natural signs noticed by our ancestors for long years should not ignore in no case, but there is also a more professional way that gives 100% guarantee - this drilling a test well. First you need to drill about ten meters. As soon as it is possible to attack the soil layer containing water, it will begin to accumulate in the well. After that, drilling should be stopped.
What should I think before drilling a well to water
-
Regardless of which ways to find water were used, the well should be placed above the contaminated zone. The surface level should always be reduced from the well towards this zone, but in no case is not back.
-
Sometimes it happens that it is impossible to fulfill this rule due to the location of the site or the nature of the terrain. Then you need to try to make it so that it is at least one level with a polluted zone, at maximum distance from it.
-
If it is possible to better place wells near the reservoirs. They will always be enough water, even if the river or pond feeds will dry. Although at the same time, it can be merged due to the fact that the soil does not filter the water.
If you, before finding water underground, thoroughly studied the question, and, having found it, reacted responsible for the arrangement of the reservoir, then your works with interest will pay off the uninterrupted installation service.
