I have a problem that I'm not sure has a solution.

Water Dowsing

Just some more of that "fake news", of course.

Then again there is this, from the Farmer's Almanac...; :stirthepot:

Is Dowsing Real?
Most experts熔ther than dowsing experts, that is幼lassify this art to the realm of pseudoscience. Over the last century, several studies have shown that the average dowser is no better at predicting the location of water than anyone else.
However, there is one study, conducted by the German government in the 1990s, that perplexed the scientific community. During this studyç—´ 10-year research period, researchers paired up experienced geologists and dowsers, sending them to dry regions like Sri Lanka, Kenya, and Yemen. Scientists were surprised to find that many of the dowsers were spot-on. In Sri Lanka alone, drill teams drilled 691 wells under the supervision of dowsers and found water 96% of the time.Now, skeptics would argue that the reason for this is simple: No matter where you drill, as long as you're willing to drill deep enough, you're bound to find water eventually. However, in this particular study, the dowsers were also asked to tell their drill teams at what depth they'd find the water and how much water they would find. The study's findings showed that the dowsers predictions concerning depth and volume were accurate to within 10% to 20%.

Just because something is pseudoscience, or dwells in the mystical, magical, call it what you want, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Science is just the “known” that is repeatable. No one claims we know all there is to know. There’s still a lot of phenomena that is unknown, and as such, unrepeatable. However, we can still experience it.

There's no documented success. It all comes out the same as chance.

No one has ever claimed the $1,000,000 dollar prize for it either, because it's bunk.

Thx, if i say that im an a hole.....more of an a hole.

Magic and science. It's far easier to believe in magic, science takes work, thoughtful consideration. Like a lot of things, it's much easier to believe than question.

But none of this is helping Diggin It dry his yard. Apologies all around for diverting the discussion.

Love the way you said that.
In the 80s my wife and I took parapsychology classes at a local college, we had some really interesting guest speakers. I told the class teacher this is "future science".
Imagine going back a few hundred years with things we use as and take for granted today. We'd be burned as a witch!
