Most important task of any farmer: Finding ground water, June 2022

I knew from my parents place that "Diviner" found ground water using cocount๐Ÿ˜€(it swirls๐Ÿ˜Š) and they point that spot and say this is where one have to dig.  Coimbatore is the city where my parents live we had plenty of ground water in 10 meter depth.

So I was thinking this should be easy like that to find a spot on the ground which we bought. Of course that was not the case. Recently one of the group members called me and said why did you want to buy the land in the "Dinosaurs" living land although you are from water rich city coimbatore ?!?  Its a very dry land only plenty of wind mills are around my farm. 

So I had to search someone who can find the ground water at least 300 m depth (Over 1000 feet). By googling I found a young man who uses 4 different methods to find the water for a land like ours. He is a geologist as well. 

๐Ÿ˜‰

He was there on our land with the machine and took ground water profile at each and every inch of our land for couple of hours. He found one spot and he marked it. 

๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’“

After two weeks time he sent us the image and he said the spot he mentioned is the best place to dig. He told us to dig at least minimum1000 feet. 


So we called upon the drillers and my father and I went to the place to look after the process. 



It was a very long day and I was anxious if we get water or not. I had plan B if we dont get water I want to sell the place and buy another land. But not to give up on farming ๐Ÿ˜†. 


So in India everything starts from a prayer.


And the moment happened that water flowed from drill hole was the most happiest moment of that day. 
So we found a water spot on the Dinosaurs living land.๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜…   


So only at this point starts the farming business..... The drill depth is 330 m ๐Ÿ˜€

With the happy ending I will continue my journey on the next post.

Bringing water from deep underground to surface!

Turning into a farmer was one of the best decisions that I have made besides being SINGLE ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Ž. Water is one of the most important nutrients...
