Drilling For Water!

[@douglasmayherjr.5733]

Thanks for the videos, Mike. It’s nice to see Chapal on the farm and having a great time. Enjoy every day with your family.

[@spideybrent]

Hello from Moosomin,Saskatchewan,Canada you have great videos and great at communicating. Thanks for sharing.

[@joescheller6680]

Hope yoy have success on finding water well. I grew up on a farm in South Dakota only water was over 2000 ft artesian well that had to be pumped. 3 in casing. Many years back they dropped pipe in the casing by accident while pulling it up for instaling new leathers in the pump. They just left it as water level was above it. Later on many years the water level dropped and couldnt get to water level do to pipes in the casing. I had to haul water ten miles from a watertower in a small city for house use.

[@LeeStevens-e1j]

Your innovation and side-ways thinking are a credit to you! Love watching to see whats coming next.. Keep it up Mike, and hello from the UK

[@AtherTech1]

he has some videos that i really enjoy! it's fun to see what he's doing from half way around the world!

[@chuxtuff]

We had a hard water well that we finally had to call the Culligan man otherwise a plumber from stained toilets and other fixtures. It was a about $2000 from Culligan but from the time it was installed to the present day that's one of the best home improvements we ever made. Clean clear water from your own well while the sinks and toilets were the same way. Thumbs up for the Culligan man!!!

Mike i see chapel running a large 20,000 acre farm in the north in near future the way you are expanding weekly

[@wallyyuriy8912]

2021 we went on a dirty tare with test hole’s, desperate for water for our cattle. Finally found a decent well that was flowing at 8gpm . Went ahead and completed it. Then it went dry at Christmas time that year lol.

[@northwoodsguy1538]

Nice. Spend time with your son. They grow up fast. My is 28 in few days.

[@sarareimer2224]

Love to see the the Father son time keep it up

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Good luck finding water Mike

[@tobimai4843]

Ah yes, water. Definitly. If Mike starts posting Videos from Hawaii next month we know's up lol

Great video Mike

[@karllangner1579]

Here in South Africa, esspesially in the dry Karoo region, we normally drill for water at the side of a Dollerite ridge, or a Shale ridge. The ridge blocks the underground drainage and give a supply of water. Sometimes a strong flow and other places just a little supply of water. Sometimes salty water.

[@notvaporlocked5479]

Cute kid! You are a lucky man.

[@jasonwilliams8016]

I've spent many hours on a similar auger rig doing geotechnical and environmental work!

[@JteRaa]

Mike, another backseat driver here. A shallow well may produce water in a 'wet' year. Have you asked the drillers what the changes are of having water in a dry year? Just saying.

[@trucksandfarming6999]

Most of our irrigation wells here in Mexico are around 1500 to 2000 feet deep and the pumps are in about 700-900 feet deep

[@douglaskoonce2097]

Chapel is to stinkin cute! I remember when my little girl was that age. Those Big Cheese smiles are Priceless!!

[@JteRaa]

[@jackbannock3458]

Water Witching does work for testing. Gives you a starting point. 3:15

[@Woodsfarms]

Yes witching for water 110% works!! My grandfather drilled water wells for 60 or so years until he retired. And used that method every single time to know exactly where to drill and would hit water every single time!

[@starfarmer716]

in Greece we have drill 1200 feet for water

[@maggieincanada2062]

Wow!

[@masonspieker1872]

Our well is about 1600ft deep and it was dug in the 60’s I believe.

[@davidstith9297]

I wish I could send you a video of how they find water in Montenegro. It's amazing.

[@Northern_Farmer]

I'm on dugout water...best thing there is...filtered out and you can get practically a small treatment plant in your house for like 10 grand that makes the water better then city water.

[@georgedavidson1221]

Yes

[@BillStecik]

I know someone who just lives on Irish cream 😅

[@Northern_Farmer]

@@BillStecik haha

[@georgedavidson1221]

Mike. Build a small treatment plant and use the dug out , if there is enough

[@georgedavidson1221]

Go to trees They know where The is. Probably shallow

[@farmshoffman8475]

Great awesome video

[@thersbugb7362]

You are basically hoping Mike That the well you drill is being fed via that slue but due to all the rock and ground underneath will act as a natural Filter, Reducing the cost on the overall house water system in the end. If you had to draw directly from the Slue with a pump it would cost alot to clean it. Great idea! H2o Mechanic would definitely find you water haha.

[@FuelMan]

Sounds like you have the same issues Larson Farms has with their water being hard. They just drilled their new well that is producing 50 gpm.

[@David-xl8zf]

If the chief inspector is on site I got high hopes you'll find a well. 😂

[@scottkaercher1733]

Ya gotta put in concrete runners with tie downs in then set your modular in.

[@drewl4762]

I thought you were drilling that for the cattle lot you're gonna put up. Got to have somewhere for the corn to go that you're going to grow with all that rain😉

[@johnpatton3656]

I worked with a guy that had land out by Edson, his one well had hit a coal seam. That water was better than bottled water you buy. 300m East his other well was so bad that even after you flushed it looked like someone just peed, stained anything that it sat in for more then a hour.

[@kevinmeyer3884]

Whitching might seem wierd to you Mike but it 100% works. Seen it in action. A good whitcher can tell U how deep the water is, where to drill, and even how many GPM of water! Both times I watched the whitcher he was 100 spot on! Plus, he would save you thousands of dollars!

[@kiwifarmer8828]

The thing is they are finding water.

[@joostvandennieuwenhof2222]

😊😊

[@rsporter]

It definitely 100% does not work and studies confirm this because there's not possible way for it to work! I'm always amazed at the people who believe this.

[@deanmalkewich2366]

@@rsporteryep because we can’t prove it works, there 100% no chance it does.

[@brettk5762]

@@rsporterI’ve personally done it and I didn’t believe it at first either but it seems to work pretty well. I just use copper rods but I know some people use some other methods that seem to work better.

Salut Mike magnifique vidéo et le forage et bien intéressante 😂😮😅😊

Chapel thinking, .... " dad and his phone, man oooh man. " 👶😁👱

[@jeffcrivelli2906]

You laugh at the water witches! So did I! But I have a friend who makes an excellent living doing that. He spotted my last well. The driller said the water was EXACTLY the depth he said it would be and the quantity was even better! Made me a believer! 🤠

[@tapertim]

My dad witched lots of wells 2 at our place some at his first place and lots of neighbors

[@casefan4400]

Here in new zealand we use water tanks, we collect the rain water of the roof and into the tanks. Could that be a option?

[@stevefarrow9327]

Looking for a water-bearing formation….geological surveys can give a general idea….sticks, bent wires, poles, etc, used for centuries to try to find underground water, minerals etc….involved in water drilling for 20yrs. …. never saw any consistency from 10-12 different witchers..

[@edwhite6250]

[@SergioClaudio]

Pull out, Mike 😂

[@deancook6832]

Wells are so hit and miss. I had a well for my house that was only 60 ft deep. Drilled another well for livestock supply literally 50 ft away and had to go 560 ft to get an adequate water supply.

[@keenanfaure9313]

Wouldn’t it be easy to tie into the town water supply

[@BruceBergman]

You need water Rights on your own property to drill a well. State laws! 6:39

[@FoodwaysDistribution]

I am sure the local gophers know where the water is....

[@EarlBennett-p2w]

Do you have some one that can switch for a water vein?

[@Michael-8903]

Here in Sweden, all data about wells are stored as public documents. How deep flow year and so on

[@rsporter]

They are in Saskatchewan as well.

[@Northern_Farmer]

Used to cost like 3500 to hook up to gas....now it's like 13 thousand...and it doesn't matter if your 1 foot away or 500...same price

[@Jehty_]

Is it safe to consume ground water from under fields? I would assume that significant amounts of the herbicides and pesticides and whatnot end up in there?

[@DG-ne8iq]

Where do you think city water comes from? The river or a water table beneath a plain!

[@Jehty_]

@@DG-ne8iq well, then let me broaden my question. Is the city water safe to drink? And if it is how is that ensured? And can someone with their personal well do the same?

[@DG-ne8iq]

@@Jehty_ In France, we have the health agency (ARS) yor Water Security Agency,client service (101 - 111, rue Fairford Est, MOOSE JAW (Saskatchewan) S6H 7X9 ) continuously analyzes drinking water supplies, monitoring catchment areas for contamination, particularly nitrates and microbiology. The results are published on the Internet. Private drilling requires authorization from the State Mining Research Bureau. All wells must be watertight to prevent direct surface pollution. Wells are mapped and an agent checks water quality from time to time.💧💧

[@brettk5762]

@@Jehty_we drink well water at our house and it is definitely more safe than city water. We had it tested and there were no signs of chemicals or anything dangerous. We still use a good filter for our house though.

[@bobearl7859]

Why so shallow most of the wells here in Michigan are 300 ft deep

[@crandonborth]

660’ feet in Wisconsin… ground water isn’t really that good up above that. To much limestone. We only use it for center pivots but compared to the shallow wells the deeper ones have much better water.

[@ihguy2113]

water always goes down hill i had a well dug 20 years ago and it is drilled on a high spot the guy drilling said you wont find a good well in a low spot

[@DG-ne8iq]

Exactely

[@colthofer3752]

since people are getting all hot over the price of 2$ litre fuel then pay 4$ litre of water to cool down it makes more sense to drill for water it's cheaper in the long run

[@norlag]

and you dont do tank water because?

[@EvanC8]

Not sure why you didn’t get someone to witch the water. It’s not weird. It works. I do it. I found tested for and found 6 sites for wells for people and every well is a fantastic well. It’s very very good way to find good water locations for a well.

[@markweiler8172]

When my dad had water witching done, He ended up with a mud hole. Lots of water but because it was a mud hole It caved in and then had no water The well driller backed up next to the milk house and started drilling Witcher said No water in that spot That was the early 80’s The well beside the milk house is still a 50 gallon a minute well today

[@rsporter]

LOL, it 100% does not work.
