How to find water in the desert?

One, you can dig at the lowest point of the outer bend of the dry riverbed, the lowest point of the sand dunes, may look for groundwater .

Two, the roots of desert plants contain some water and can be dug out to extract juice for drinking.

Third, because of the great difference in temperature between day and night in the desert area, you can use the condensation method to obtain fresh water. The specific method is to dig a pit on the ground about 90 centimeters in diameter and 45 centimeters deep. The air and soil in the pit warms up quickly, producing steam. When the water vapor reaches saturation, it will condense into water droplets on the inner surface of the plastic sheet, dripping into the container below, so that we get valuable water in this way, in the desert area with a large temperature difference between day and night, you can get at least 500 ml or more of water in a day and night. This method can also be used to distill and filter dirty water that is not directly drinkable.

Fourth, you can also look for water based on the flora and fauna of the desert.

Most animals drink water regularly. Herbivores do not stay away from water sources, they usually go to a fixed place to drink early in the morning and at dusk, usually as long as you find the trails that they often pass by and step out, and look for the lower part of the ground, you can find the water source.

Carnivores can get water from their prey, so they can go for longer periods of time without drinking, although water may not always be found in areas where carnivores are active.

Carnivorous birds such as eagles and waterfowl can go a long time without drinking. So seeing them does not necessarily mean there is water around.

In deserts and arid regions, the sighting of reptiles does not indicate that there is water in the surrounding area. This is because they are likely to get water by sucking up dew or from the bodies of their prey and can go for long periods without drinking.

Spotting insects is a good sign of a water source. Bees, in particular, do not leave the hive for more than 6 ? kilometers, but they do not have a regular water source. 5 kilometers, but they do not have a fixed time pattern of activity. Most species of flies do not move more than 100 meters from a water source, so if you find flies, there is water near you.
