Water Dowsers: Help locate water

[LM]

The area is quite green so obviously, there must be a source of fresh water nearby...



Any idea how close fresh water is located?

My guess would be that the sprinkler water comes from a deep water well that was located by a Water dowser..A water dowser could find a source to water this area in the area of the arrow..Art

I was a proffessional water dowser in the late 80s. As art says you cant tell by the green grass.Only clue I can give you because even if i could dowse water from this distance in the air as the average stream is only about 9-12 feet wide and I would have to mentally parachute down to the ground to re pin point the exact site as they are tear drop shaped and you have to drill exactly or you will only get poor quantity salty water.. There is one way that is common with experienced borers. They will bore right alongside the biggest tree in the area.
Its logical that they can only get that big by having fresh water available at all times which means an underground stream is nearby.
A handy tip from a dowser is this.Find the largest tree and drill just north of it. Water travels South to north. Drill anywhere dead north of it. Drilling anywhere dead south might work and it might not as water always comes up from subterranian sources and you dont know where it starts from in the south. Max

Aussie put that water travels from south to north. If this is generally true (?) then would it also be true in the northern hemisphere? He's in Australia and I'm in Oklahoma. When you flush a toilet or drain a bathtub the whirlpool spins one way on the north of the equator and the other way on the south of the equator... or so I've heard. I've always thought that water ran downhill, seeking its own level, unless under pressure. What if downhill in an underground stream just happens to be east or west? Most of the water wells in my area are in a porous sand formation, and here in the city where I live, the water is best at about 180 feet. The water table is higher, but not enough permeability, (porosity), at higher levels. Say you drill a well for fresh water here at 100". You'll hit water, but you won't have much volume. Demand outrunning supply will allow silt and ultrafine sand to come in and eat up your pump.
I tried dowsing the image and got a few responses, but the strongest pull was right in the area Art indicated. Also I got a few shallower pulls at this spot, but strongest pulls from 125 to 240 feet depth, indicating to me "bands" of porosity for good volume. I'd personally stay around the center of the area art marked as the northern line seems thin to me. The underground area has somewhat of a banana shape. Also, the deeper end of my readings seemed to have a bit of salinity(salt), and I am sure you don't want brackish water, so I'd try to about 200 feet for good clean cool fresh safe "potable" drinking water. (fingers crossed). Whatever you do, good luck.

Come to think of it I would probably be wrong about water in the northern hremisphere running south to north, it would be north to south in your hemisphere. actually it would be a couple of points off to the west due to slight alteration over aeons. Underground water follows the local magnetic field. max
