What is Water Divining?

Water divining, also known as dowsing, is a way of detecting underlying water sources. The practice could be described as an art-form where the diviner uses rods to determine where the water can be located.

The divining rods will begin to move when positioned over a water source and so the diviner can tell the co-ordinates of the water point, by using a pendulum technique the depth at which this water can be accessed can also be determined.

The diviner can recommend the spot where a borehole should be drilled to gain access to a water supply, without any costly techniques.

What are the Benefits?

•  Eliminates the need to drill a number of boreholes, therefore cutting project costs 
•  Divining is quick and a borehole site can be determined in a short space of time – no lengthy drilling times as many positions are tested for water sources

Can Anyone Divine?

Water divining can sometimes be referred to as “water witching”, this implies that there is some sort of paranormal gift which allows diviners to sense water locations. Although this has not been proven, there is definitely some “gift” to mastering this technique, and a good water diviner is hard to find.
