>>2777686yeah, so many factors play in, like you could dig into an area where water is naturally channelled under ground and you'd never know, but that will definitely help.
like i once heard someone say that humans have an uncontrollable urge to dig, especially to find shiny things, like: the reflective surface of water. it's a survival instinct and why we like shiny rocks and metal :)
I think it will definitely give you a better chance at being dry but you have to choose your spot wisely. at the end of the day, you can always dig multiple or improve them as you learn where the water gets in.
