WATER IS LIFE!
One of the biggest concerns for new homesteaders is water. Most of the time, remote locations are being considered and usually there are no water hookups or water lines in the area. The solution to this problem can be easy if you know what to look and prepare for.
Unless you have a good source of water from a river, lake or creek on the property, the usual solution is to drill a well and make that your primary water source. But where will we dig? That is the big question. Drilling for a well can be expensive in many locations. You have to have an idea that water will be in the location you choose to drill.
One quick easy way to know if water is in your area is by the trees you see growing. There are many varieties of trees that drink large amounts of water and if you spot one of those trees, there is a very good chance that water in large amounts is at that location. IF YOU CAN FIND A SYCAMORE on potential land, YOU HAVE WATER and usually lots of it.
Don't purchase land, especially remote land without first making sure you have a reliable primary water source on the land.
