does water divining work?

Answer 1

It definitely does but not everyone can do it

Answer 2

Water divining does work, every well my father had dug was found by water divining. The diviner he used could even tell the depth the well needed to be dug with pretty good accuracy, within 15 feet. No one knows why it works, not even those who do it, but they have the ability. My father had a friend who thought it was nonsense and he had five wells dug by the well company and every one came up dry. My father offered to pay the diviners fee for his friend and brought in a diviner. The diviner had them dig in a spot 40 feet from the cluster of dry wells and they hit water that same day.

Answer 3

It definitely works. I had a diviner out here to tell us where to put in a well. He found the spot right away.

My neighbor did not have a diviner come out. He put down pipe for a well through close to 1,000' and solid rock. It cost him over $10,000. The pump/well digger was at their house almost a month.

My well cost $3,200, and it was set up and working within a week.... would have been sooner but the contractor was busy..

Answer 4

There are things that don't necessarily have concrete explanations that I know to work. I don't personally know any water witchers nor have I tried it myself. What I have tried and know to be true and accurate is this...I used to lay water and sewer services to new residences. The sewer mains were in the streets and a lateral to the house would be stubbed off in the lot. Our job consisted of hooking the sewer pipe at the roughed in end at the house to the stub in the lot. Frequently we wouldn't know where the sewer stub was so we would take coat hangers bent in an "L" shape and use them as someone would if they were looking for water. 99% of the time we could find the sewer stub that way. I don't know if it was because the ground that had been disrupted where the sewer was stubbed in - sometimes they would be 10-12 feet deep - or if it was something else. I can't explain it, I just know it works!

Answer 5

It does, when I lived in New Mexico we have a diviner out to find water for a well - he found it within 10 minutes.

Answer 6

Yes it does. Some people like Randi "prove" it doesnt but he is a "blocker". A lot of utility companies have them as permanent employees. I have personally witnessed a man select a spot and the DEPTH!!! he was within 1 foot - who is to say. Well was 83 feet to water. He said 84.

Answer 7

NO. Everytime they have been tested under controlled conditions (when there wasn't water everywhere anyway), they have failed to produce any results better than those that could be expected from random guessing.

Disagree? There's a million bucks in it for you if you can prove it. Randi (www.randi.org) has tested many dowsers for the ability, and although they were all confident they could pass the test, most actually did worse than if they had just been guessing. IT DOESN'T WORK.

Answer 8

In my village a friend of my uncle used his dog to detect underground water. The dog would sniff the ground as it walks then scratches with its foot at the very spot where water is to be found. only a few times stagnant water
was found.

Answer 9

I was a sceptic until I tried it. I found I could not only find water lines but also buried electric cable and septic tanks as well as thier laterals. Believe it or not; but I am now a believer. I also have two brothers and niether one of them have this "gift".

Answer 10

My Dad can do it, and so could his Dad. I would say that they were right 99% of the time, however I seem to have no knack for doing this.

They could do this with wire coat hangers bent in a "L" shape, or simply using two wood sticks. It is amazing.

Answer 11

Yes and I have used it at my work to find water pipes.

I do not understand it but it definitely works.
