Barkeater Lake by Corey Pandolph for May 06, 2012

Simpsonfan2- When you drill a well you often find the underground water running along the surface of hard rock or clay. The rock in not alway level and sometimes you have a high point or “shelf” of hard dirt that is in the aquafer but above the bottom water level. You can lower the water level to the shelf and the well runs dry, but the aquafer still has water. By driving a sharp point through the surface of the shelf you can get down to the lower water without digging a whole new well.

Never believed in water witches untIl I saw one work.

I learned something new today – thanks!

Now the reply isn’t working again. Oh well.@sdmitchell, thank you for the lesson on wells. I love learning new things. Don’t want that well to ever run dry.
