Top 5 Reasons to Know If There’s Groundwater Under Your Land

Whether you’re a farmer, land developer or landowner, it’s really important to understand what’s going on underneath your land. Maybe you’re a rancher who wants to extend grazing to your cattle and you need to determine if there’s water for a new crop location. Or, perhaps you’re a land developer wanting to sell 10-acre properties to retirees wanting to ‘get away from it all.’ You may be a landowner and you’re wanting to put your property up for sale. Wouldn’t it be nice to know if there’s oil and gas down there before you sell?

Before you call a water well driller, let me explain why you should call a well water finder first. Presenting "My Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Know If There Is Well Water Under Your Land!":

  1. To install a water well on your property, you’ll pay for a driller’s attempt to drill, even if they don’t find water. Why not get it right the first attempt?

2. If you’re a property developer, knowing where water is located under your property could help prevent re-platting that leaves some plats with a very poor water source or no water at all. If you plan on dividing the property and there’s no water on one side, it’s important to know that. It would be much easier and cost-effective to drill at the right spot from the start than having to pipe the water in from somewhere else!

3. The water under you is likely free to use. If you're in agriculture or a high-volume water user, remember – in most states, if you own the land, the water under you is free! Installing a water well, in the right spot, might save money in the long run compared to using the city as your water source.

4. Pipeline can be expensive. Piping and trenching water lines can be expensive if you have to transfer it hundreds - or thousands - of feet. It may be cheaper to put in a water well at the needed location instead.

5. Selling? In Texas, groundwater may be severed from the surface estate of your land. And if there’s even a hint that there is oil or gas down there, wouldn’t you want to know? Having this information up-front will enable you to add a mineral rights exception in your sale contract.
