If you have some land, all the free water you could ever need might be just below your feet… Imagine the saving and the freedom of having your own water supply would bring… All you would need then is the solar panels for some electricity and a wood-burning stove to cooking and heating, and then you’d be pretty much off-the-grid.
If you have been thinking of looking into drilling your own water well, here is an awesome six-page PDF document, created by the Kansas Geological Survey, that has detailed step-by-step instructions on how to proceed. Click the link to open the PDF document. You can then save/download and print it out (you can usually do this by right-clicking on the PDF and choose the option ‘save as’) — Step-B-Step Instructions: Drilling A Water Well On Your Land
