Where to Dig a New Well in Long Drought
Farmers face a drought era where digging wells is problematic yet necessary. Oklahoma A and M engineers caution against willow fork tests and suggest alternatives such as post hole auger tests to gauge water, plus checking seepage and springs. Deep wells in sand and gravel yield better water, while clay or hard soils store less. A pumping test is advised to confirm a sufficient supply before use. Contact county agents or USGS for guidance.
