1394.0. "Dowsing and Divining Rods?" by EBBV03::LATOUCHE () Tue Dec 04 1990 19:32

    I recently experienced a shortage of water from the well at our house
    and had a welldigger take a look at the problem. It seems as though our
    well has a slow recovery rate. I was told that I have 3 options:
    
           1) Actively conserve water usage.  (costs-> minimal)
    
           2) Have the well hydrofracted.   (costs-> ~$1500)
    
           3) Dig a new well.    (costs-> 3k and up)
    
    
    During the conversation about hit-and-miss possibilities when digging a
    new well, the person mentioned that "you could get good results if
    someone who was good at dowsing, came onto the property and used a divining
    rod looking for water; if you believe in that stuff".
    
    
    I've heard numerous stories about people claiming to be "gifted" at
    finding subterranean water sources.
    
    Is there any truth or research on these methods?

    I believe it.  i've seen it work myself.
    Sorry I can't recommend a good water dowser but I'm sure someone else
    could.

    I believe I've seen a note in this conference dealing with dowsing. You
    can try a title search for Dowsing. 
    
    I too believe it works, it seems to be one of the most accepted types
    of 'supernatural' gifts, which are not supernatural at all, just more
    developed in some than others.
    
    Good luck in your search.

You might have better luck asking about this in SERENA::HOME_WORK topic
1111.* has a directory of topics or use the key word WELL there has been
lots of discussion on all 3 of your options as well as dousing.

Hope this helps, -j
