My Husband and I both tried this as kids:
There was a cartoon/movie on years ago called "Dot and the Red Kangaroo". At one part, Dot shows the Red Kanagroo how to dig up water to survive or something (I forget the plot). She did this by on clean swipe on the soil with her claws and then the water appeared. Well, we both tried the same thing upon seeing the show. He gave up after a while, but I dug down at least two feet only to find NO WATER and that my parents house was built on a rubbish dump!
