There is one big problem with dowsing. Many people don't believe it works. They talk of fraud and fakery and gullible people. They say there is no science to it. Every result can be explained away logically or scientifically. There is an expectation that dowsing should be completely verifiable and repeatable, over and over again.
If you feel like this, then water dowsing is really going to irritate you. Water dowsing is probably amongst the oldest applications of dowsing known. It is also one of the most community minded applications known. Before the science of hydrology grew up, dowsers or water-witchers helped out by finding water sources for their neighbors. Everyone benefited. The better water dowsers got more business and a bigger reputation. But it's not scientific. No-one ever pretended that is was.
And it worked. And there's the problem with water dowsing; it works but no-one really knows why. In a world which demands explanations, wants answers, these water-witchers, go doddlebugging or dowsing and find water. No, they re not always 100% accurate. Sometimes they get dry holes. Sometimes you could probably dig a hole and find water pretty much anywhere. But those aren't the cases which annoy.
The ones which annoy are the ones where the good, reliable dowser finds the water where no-one else could and, before drilling, announces the depth and flow rate as well as the purity (or otherwise) of the water. I don't care who you are, if you're not a dowser you'll find such instances either irritating or intriguing. If you like intrigue, you'll want to do it yourself. Because that's the other thing about water dowsing; anyone can learn it, but not many actually want to admit that it works. But that's another story.
