A New Device to Help Farmers and Adventurers Alike!

Boone, North Carolina
August 21, 2001

    Severe water shortages continue to be a problem across the state.  North Carolina, like many areas across the country, continues to be below average in rainfall this year and by observing this week's forecast, it does not look as if there will be much rain in the near future.  This continues to be a problem for our state's farmers as they struggle with their summer crops.  However, a new device should be able to help the agricultural department as well as other professions that depend on a adaquete supply of water.  This device, the Aqua Meter, has been used by a special test group for the past year and is finally going to be put on the consumer market this coming fall... just in time for planting that winter wheat!
    The Aqua Meter, designed by Benjamin Williams, is designed to seek out water deep within the surface of the earth.  It is unique from other water finding devices in that it fits in the palm of your hand allowing you to bring it almost anywhere.  When asked about it's usefulness Benjamin Williams stated, "Nothing is proven to work better!"  Five hundred people around the world, in several different professions ranging from farmer to well digger, have been testing the Aqua Meter for the past two years and surprisingly enough all but twenty-five reported being one hundred percent satisfied.  Those twenty-five participants reportedly had no problem with the Aqua Meter; they simply prefer the "old fashioned ways."  Water finders have been used throughout the centuries.  In previous years, special sticks were used in an attempt to find this liquid that is a necessity for life.
    But what makes this new device so special compared to the sticks of years ago?  Some of the special features of the Aqua Finder include the special leather carrying case that is included in the package.  This case includes a buttoned flap, so that dirt will be unable to penetrate the metal components of the Aqua Finder, and an easy carrying string that is even able to fit comfortably around the average adult's neck.  The Aqua Finder is used by an arrow that increases in activity when close to an underground well or spring.  Mr. Williams has thought of everything because another feature of the Agua Meter is a buzzer on the back which sounds at greater intensities when one gets closer to a water source.
    So mark your calendars because while we may not be getting any rain in the near future you can still find a much needed water source if you have this handy device.  And as Mr. Williams reminds consumers, "This is not just a product for professional farmers and well drillers.  This product is for the adventurer as well.  Would you ever want to be stranded in the Mohabi Desert unable to find water?"  I think that we all know the answer to that question!
