Reply to Eli5....can you dig a well anywhere and hit water...and how did the early ranchers in the West know where to dig for water. Especially in the really dry areas? by pinkshrinkrn
Pretty much just dig, there are hints as to where you are more likely to find underground water so you look for areas where more plants grow; especially deep-rooted ones. There are other hints as well but nothing concrete until the development of ground penetrating radar and other deep scanning techniques.
