If on kitchen garden or giving there is no water supply system, anyway it is necessary to build well. But where exactly it to arrange how to define in what place of water lie most close to surface? Depends on it as it is deeply necessary to dig, therefore, how many work and funds will be required for arrangement of well. To understand that water close, it is possible on some faultless signs.
Instruction
1. Buy 1-2 liters of desiccant, for example, of silica gel. Dry up in oven and put in not glazed clay pot. Weigh the container with silica gel on exact scales, turn in dense fabric and dig on depth about half a meter where you are going to dig well. In a day dig out pot and again weigh it. If became much heavier, so silica gel has absorbed a lot of water, therefore, she under the planned site lies down close. Thus it is possible to dig pot several times and to check various places, and as a result to choose optimum. Instead of silica gel it is possible to use brick from red clay, it too well incorporates moisture.
2. Observe the nearby area early in the morning or after hot day in the evening. Where dense fog is formed, water lies most closer, there is a lot of it, especially if fog curls or stands rooted to the ground. Certainly, this sign is valid for places where nearby there is no small river or the lake, other open reservoir.
3. Look what plants grow on your site or around it. Hygrophilous goutweed, sedge, coltsfoot say that underground waters it is close to surface. A lot of water is also required for normal development to birch, alder and fir-tree. They do not grow in the droughty area.
4. If near the place of future well there are some reservoirs, it is possible to learn about groundwater occurrance on height difference. Take the aneroid barometer, come with it to the place of future well and measure pressure. Then perform the same measurements near reservoir. As on 13 meters of difference of height the pressure loss is equal to about 1 mm of mercury column, for example, the difference of 0.5 mm of mercury column means that water lies approximately on 6-7 meters of depth.
5. The most reliable way – prospecting drilling. Take garden drill and scroll the well on 6-10 meters. If you find water-bearing stratum at depth accepted for you, it is possible to dig well in this place.
