I know of one for sure!
I do pretty good with a rain catchment system. Build something with a modest roof. I have 5-50 gallon barrels catching water. A very small rain will fill them all. Use the water for everything except drinking.
If all you need is five gallons, I would just carry that much with me. Is it an option to buy water from the neighbor?
Where are you located?
I work for a soil conservation district and we’ve got a couple of programs where our producers are having wells drilled, no pumps installed, just the well.
I’ve got a lot of receipts coming in with the deepest well being180’ and the receipt was $7000, but that’s in my area.

And you guys are reimbursing for the cost?
Can't believe nobody has mentioned finding a good water dowser yet???? 
All the ones I know that were legit, could not only find it, but could tell you how deep and about what kind of flow even are dead and gone. I know one guy left who can find it but that's it.

Yes sir, but only 75% on one program and 85% on the other.
I’d call your local soil conservation office and ask to have your name put on the call list for when the next program is rolled out.
At least that’s how we do it in our office, I’m pretty sure most other offices have a running list too.
Often you can find water shallow but these days it's hard to find water real shallow that's not contaminated with chemicals metals etc.. That's why well drillers case thru all surface water. In fact in a lot of places it's illegal to use surface water ( if your caught of course) reason why most wells are not on maps is because they were drilled or dug before it was a law..i would suggest getting hold of a well drillers in your local area he would know more about where water is found than anyone. Old time drillers. Who have drilled lots of wells in your area can tell you pretty close where water will be because there drilled lots of wells that don't show on maps.if all you need is a few gallons even a small seep can supply that usually. If you've got a place that stays wet you can often sink a tub or bucket. With a lid on it. In the area with holes drilled in it to collect enough.
When I was building in the mid 80's a typical well in the Mustang area was about 2k. What happened?
Rules,regulations,permits etc etc gov making it better
