How to locate water tables?

  1. Ive been out scopin spots for next season and ive always wondered about this. Does anyone on here know how to locate water tables under the ground? Are there any distinct signs above ground that i could look for?

  5. This is the most interesting thing ive heard about in a while! Really neat. Cant wait to try it now. Im gonna go grab me a twig right now! :) thanks for the info 50. It sounds ridiculous but at the same time intriguing.
     
  6. Idk if this will work for water tables but to find underground water mains for my work we use two copper wire stifff that has a 90degree bend 3/4 the way down twirl them in ur hands loose grip and hold them level in front of u so there free to move left and right walk around till they cross or point outwards (different for each person)
     
  7. Yep i just talked to my folks about it and theyve definitely heard of it. My dad does underground boaring work and he uses that device and said it works. My mom said she used to know an old farmer that used the witching method for years and swore by it. U learn somn every day right? :)
     
  8. Is there is any kind of survey in your area on record for these type of water needs?
