My Dad could pinpoint the location of a stream of underground water.  That means he was a water witch.  He was not just good at it – he was the best!

Some people, perhaps one in fifty, I really have no idea, have some special unknown ability to locate underground water.  The only tool needed is a small forked branch that twists dramatically downward to a point on the ground directly above the underground stream.  A well driller then drills straight down from that exact spot.

Virginia Tech has created an excellent publication regarding greenhouse gases, global climate change and existing carbon offset markets. The link to the resource is listed below. You can also access it and other information about ecosystem markets on the Woodlands Resource page of our website.
