How to find water

by Chris
(Alabama)

A good way to indicate a water source is to get on an elevated surface and and look for indentions in the earth or trees. The indention shows that there is a low area or gap from surface to surface which, in turn, shows path of a water-way or past water-way.

However, be careful this could only show a ditch that only drains water when it rains.

In the area I live in spotting Sycamore trees off in the distance usually leads you to water. Sycamores are often found along the banks of rivers and streams. They grow to large size and are easily seen from a good distance away.
