Hi, I have managed to follow your advice and develop a spring in my field, different conditions but using the same process I now have clear running water and used mostly things I had lying about to make it work. Thanks for the detailed post and explanation in clear & simple language. It is hard work, but worth it!
thanks so much, because I found a spring on my property just like yours !! great tips I will give it a try !! and wouldn't you know I live in a high dessert very arid, and dry !! yet I have water !! I'm pulling 15 gallons a day with out any digging so far . That's perfect for wilderness survival which I love doing !! thanks !!
This all look like is doable, I just found a water spring in my little farm and am going to try doing this tapping. It's exactly what I was looking for. I don't want to make into a complicated expensive tapping. I much rather this way, it's the more natural way that I can think of. You've just enlighten me! It can be done. By the way, I don't plan on drinking the spring water, I want to use for watering a little forest and fruit plants I've planted around the spring. (That's how I found it)
Cheers from Brazil! Thanks for sharing this. I am looking to do the same in my property. You might want to take a look in the Caxambu method. A really simple one that has been validated by University researchers.
I like the setup. What are you going to cover the final layer of clay with. More rocks or sticks. The rain will take it back down to the tarp eventually. I like that you added a port for administering SHC
Have you ever dealt with an artesian spring? I have one currently going across a field and through a driveway that I would love to water the garden with. Do I find the end closest to the surface or do I have to come from the source?
I used to have 2. One flooded the garden all year round so my grandfather drained it when I was young. I discovered another one years later about 50ft from the first one. Unfortunately I found it because I was digging away ground for our dog kennel.
Did you test your water at all? My first spring had a pretty low ph, I’m not sure I want to drink that! Hoping the second one I just dug into is more alkaline!!
His *looks* nice and pure but you can't really see what's filtering it. Looks like some limestone, not sure what else. Never know about the ph but it looks tasty.
@@hakunamatata71599 did that. I'm good no fecal bacteria's or coliforms. The water quality expert with my state told me low ph is normal for my area/type of bedrock. I dammed the spring with a crushed marble ratio to raise ph but will have to vinegar/baking soda my reservoir quarterly and will likely need to replace marble in the dam in a few years as it will break down. It's been finished since last May and I couldn't be happier!
@@wildeyedfae That’s gladdening to know! I have suggested that because, there is sometimes the sense of safety about spring water being generally always “pure”, and the little awareness on fecal contamination indicative of some other pathogenic problems. I did spring water quality research involving about 50 springs this past summer in my region and was marveled at the prevalence of coliforms bacteria (including E coli) even in areas where land use pattern might not have had any contribution. Perhaps septic system failure or other not too apparent sources might have been responsible. By the way, the solution to the pH issue of your spring water is great and the periodic care that you are taking of it! Further to this, while acceptable pH is between 6.6 - 8.5 per EPA standards, it’s true that sometimes, water-rock interaction may have effect on pH, but bedrock effect on pH is often minimum in spring waters which emanate from shallow aquifer. So, cannot be sure where yours might be sourced from; shallow or deep aquifer. In all, while pH doesn’t have a direct adverse effect on water consumers, however, it imposes a great influence on dissolution of metals and presence of pathogenic constituents. And thank goodness the latter you have confirmed not to be an issue. But if you aren’t sure of the aquifer source of the spring (shallow or deep) you may also want to keep an eye on some metals whose dissolution rate can be influenced by extreme pH values beyond the treatment point. Best.
@@hakunamatata71599 hi! I live in the Appalachian mountains and likely the aquifer is deep. No iron or copper and trace other things I can't remember. Water quality said the deep, older rock has newer rock on top as the Appalachians sink, which can acidify. I raised it from 5.2 to 6.9 which I am very happy with. I looked at deeds as far back as 1925, all mentioned this spring in some fashion so it has been a reliable source for a long time. I hope it continues to do so!
To increase your water 💦 flow dam up below your incoming water flow and then put in crawdads and then put salt behind your dam that will make your crawdads go to fresh water will increase your water flow.
This is basically the right way to do it. Sure we can argue about some details, for instance he didn't use gravel but stones and rocks...but it will work!
If you know how to do something yourself, what's the point of paying someone else too much money to do it for you? It's called being self-sufficient. And what's wrong with that?
These sources are sacred and need to be respected, valued and even revered as they were in ancient times.

Great job explaining how to tap a spring.
Very neat. At first, I didn't understand but it all made sense at the end.

I choose your advice!!! Thank you for sharing !
wow! we have also a spring water at the center of our hilly land , thanks for this info . i should do it also.
Awesome creation!
Awesome. Great project.
Great video man learned a lot!!
GOD BLESS YOU FOR THIS SIMPLE, BUT HUGE GESTURE
I really loved it, thanks for the video,it ll help me alot.
Great flow-lucky guy-good job
You can add 200meters of pipe down to your house and setup a hydro turbine to produce several hundred watts of electricity.
Wow, very good. Natural water
You the man Buddy
Well done brother
Spring water keeps me alive...
Lovely video..
Thank You!! nice Work!!!
Thanks for this, will do this.

Muito boa a dica!

Update please. Fantastic work!
What is the purpose of the overflow ? Are you not meant to collect the surplus overflow water as well ?
I like the setup. What are you going to cover the final layer of clay with. More rocks or sticks. The rain will take it back down to the tarp eventually. I like that you added a port for administering SHC
Thankyou so much 🙏🙏
i watched but forgot to click thumbs up so i came back to do that.
Thank you it will help us a lot
Good job
Is there a part 2??
Hey mate, how is your spring yield throughout the seasons and this drought? Is it consistent?
Hi there, thank you for sharing, learned so much from your video, one question,
When does a spring become a stream?
How much work was this? Two/three days (including sourcing of materials)? And where did you get the knowledge?
wow. that's a legit gusher
Have you ever dealt with an artesian spring?
I have one currently going across a field and through a driveway that I would love to water the garden with. Do I find the end closest to the surface or do I have to come from the source?
Best one seen so far, update us with finish project?
thanks for this
What is the material the “white wall”is made of, please?
getting close to 2 years later, how is it holding up?
keen to see how you did cube etc followup please :)
Great!
Wont that plastic contaminate the water?
Wish i had a fresh water spring around where i live
I used to have 2. One flooded the garden all year round so my grandfather drained it when I was young. I discovered another one years later about 50ft from the first one. Unfortunately I found it because I was digging away ground for our dog kennel.
i presume you got the water tested before consuming, right?
Good job! Out of curiosity, where are you? It looks like you are in some subtropical/tropical region (Costa-Rica?)
He's in Maleny, QLD
Where can I get that wall n pipes ??
I'd love to see you finish work how big is you spring is?
How do you access the spring that seeps out of hillside, no rocks, but goes to a little raven , I believe ground is clayish
Follow the water up the hill an start digging probably use some dowsing rods make it a little easier
Nice👍🏻👍🏻
Nice maganda brod kong magawa dalawa ang sa baba drain lng at my plug para pag may pinong buhangin na naipon e drain lng para wala ng bukasan.

Also consider conducting some microbial (E. coli, especially) testing, Lori.

Where’s the water source originally come from?
What kind of farm you have?
Is that the sound of the Gibbon in the background?
Too much trouble to find clay to do it right and it's so much fun to do it over again.
4:27 listen for the intro to Synchronicity II by The Police
Alot of Stones on top and that would seal it.
same doubt
Follow up video, please!
Weird noises in the woods
Did it work that’s all I want to know now and where is it
I feel like this is the video for people who dont have a dollar to do it the right way
This is basically the right way to do it. Sure we can argue about some details, for instance he didn't use gravel but stones and rocks...but it will work!
If you know how to do something yourself, what's the point of paying someone else too much money to do it for you? It's called being self-sufficient. And what's wrong with that?
Enlighten us please...
This is called survival. Dollars dont matter in the middle of nowhere
MShung reconsider our world we lack a water source mother nature please help us mother nature please take action MShung tran van hung nha standard
anybody ever try to use wood instead of plastic? i was considering using bamboo. i realize the life of the materials would be different.
