Oklahoma ranch last week. The landowners were planning a new home site and needed a reliable water source for the property.
We started the survey where the house was going to go. Didn't find much there. Pulled up the results on the laptop right there in the field and walked the ranchers through it, then moved down to the bottom of the valley. Found a real source.
More effort to get the water back up to the house. But the alternative is drilling a hole at the home site that comes up dry, then drilling another one anyway. The survey saves that second drill bill - and saves the land from a hole it didn't need.
