Why Breaking Through Clay Beneath a Seep Won’t Fix the Problem
This is not a good idea for a few reasons. First, the clay layer underlying the seep can be over 20 metres thick, so you might not be able to dig through it. Second, this activity would be considered digging a well, which requires a permit and detailed information on the water quality, aquifer water quality, and risks to the environment.
It’s much easier to deal with seeps with above ground management techniques.
