It works because the sticks or whatever is used coordinate the input from one's right/left brains. Some are sensitive to movement and can feel when the difference between the vibration of earth and water occurs.
It's very real. It was used to find land mines in Nam too.

It is actually a misnomer. There is nothing divine about it. Water moves beneath the surface of the earth. When two sticks are held out straight from someone's hands directly in front of them, as they walk the sticks will cross if there is water beneath. It works. Its science, and it works. In the desert there are streams, lakes and oceans beneath the desert floor. In order to find one that is potable, sometimes it costs a whole lot less to use sticks to find it. It nearly always works. "Divining" is a misnomer.

It is a pseudoscience - practically everywhere on the planet you will be able to find water if you dig deep enough.

I've never heard of it, sorry. Sounds pretty lame though.
