Lesson 5. How to get water from underground.
You have searched water on the surface but haven't succeed. Your situation is getting worse. Sometimes you have a solution right under your feet.
Water can go off the surface but still remain under the ground. Where should you look for it?
1) Dry riverbeds. Pay close attention to the places where it curves, its dark or rocky areas and deep pits.
2) Hollows between two sand dunes or irrigation ditches.
3) A little higher than beach tide line. It can be recognized easily by algae and debris.
When you have found one of those places, take a thick stick and flatten one of its ends with a knife. Use it to dig a pit about 1 feet wide.
In some time water will start to leak down the walls of the pit. Gather it into a glass, then filter and boil it.
If you have dug quite a deep pit and it's bottom is still dry, you would have to look for another place.

How to get water from underground.You have searched ("for" adding the word "for" helps better describe what is to be found") water on the surface but haven't (It is fine to use shortened words like this.

Water can go off ("disappear" would be a better word to use. Meaning:No longer there) the surface but (". However, there" you can add a period to end that first sentence there, following it with the word "however. It makes for a great opener for the next sentence, though make sure to add a "," comma behind it for it has a natural pause behind that word. The word there describes an item in place, which in this cause is water, which you will want to follow "there" with the word "water" for you are describing what is under the ground) still remains under the ground.
