Dowsing Resources & Techniques - Dowsing Water Depth

Water Dowsers use many methods used to determine

specific information such as the depth of a water vein. I have
been water dowsing professionally for about 20 years and I
use several methods to determine depth, quality and flow
rate.
Pendulum
I use a chart with the pendulum. Hold the pendulum over the
chart, such as Walt Woods chart in "Letter to Robin. Swing
the pendulum over the "0". Ask the question: How many
water veins at this location?, How many feet will the driller
have to drill to reach the maximum water flow rate available
at this site?, How far down to the first major water vein?,
How far down to the 2nd water vein? What is the maximum
safe drilling depth at this location?, What is the minimum flow
rate that is recoverable to the surface at this site?, What is
the maximum flow rate that is recoverable to the surface at
this site?, What is the quality of the water on a scale of 0 to
10 or 0 to 100?, What is the probability that the driller,
(Name) will drill into the water vein and get a minimum of 5
gpm?, (Some drillers have a high incidence of wandering drill
bits. Some wander off as much as 30 feet from where they
start on the surface).

Divining rods - L-Rods

Hold the L-rods so they are at an angle to one another and
your hands are one over the other. Ask the question and
start counting. When the rods line up , that is your answer.
Divining rods - Y-Rod
Hold the Y-rod in the ready position over the well site Ask the
question Start counting. When the rod points down to the
well, that is your answer. Hope this helps

You may like to try the following method that was shown to
me by a Dowser who is no longer with us, that does not
require the use of a pendulum. On one of your dowsing rods,
make ten marks about 1/4 inch wide and one inch apart. You
now have a Scale, on one of your rods, of ten units.
Having located a water source, to find its depth, hold one rod
about 5 degrees below the horizontal and mentally instruct it
to swing to the left for "No and to the right for "Yes". Ask if

the depth of whatever you have found is between (a) 1000

and 10,000 feet / metres deep or (b) between 100 and 1000
feet / metres deep or (c) between 0 and 100 feet / metres
deep.
Unless you are looking for something over 10,000 xxx deep,
you will get a "Yes" to either (a), (b), or (c). Let us say you
get a "Yes" for (b) = 100 - 1000 feet. Grip the rod with the 10
unit scale on it firmly. Allow the other rod to swing freely.
Hold both rods at an angle of no more than 5 degrees below
the horizontal, with the "free" rod about 1/2 inch above the
"firm" rod and ask for the free rod to show the depth in 100s
of feet of the top of the source you have found (or whatever
units measurement you are using)
The free rod should swing over the fixed rod and stop
somewhere. You can then read off the measurement. (say it
has stopped between the second and third marks - this
represents a depth of between 200 and 300 feet (or other
units). Now, mentally change your scale to 10s of feet and
carry out the same procedure. Say the free rod stops
between the eighth and ninth marks which now represent 80
and 90 feet, you now have a reading of 280 to 290 feet.
Finally, mentally change your scale to 0 to 10 feet and this
time your free rod stops over the second mark which will give

you a reading of 282 feet. This method takes about 5

minutes to explain but, with practice, about 30 seconds to do
it accurately. One thing that is rather interesting. I have found
that, when higher numbers are involved, the "free" rod tends
to swing to and fro as if gathering momentum for its next
"move" up the "fixed" dowsing rod, and when you think of it,
the tip of the "free" rod is actually moving uphill.
This Scale Method has many uses where numbers are
involved. For example, it can can be used to determine the
date of, say, an artifact, very quickly, by asking for single
numbers each time but be careful which time scale you use.
I would suggest that you did not use AD or BC but instead
used BP (before present) and don't forget that a date_ may_
possibly contain more than four figures. You never know. So
keep asking until you are sure you have it all, then ask if you
have, just to make sure.
Another method, using only a pendulum, is to ask the
following questions having found the source, and using the
same depth as found in the method above : Is the top of this
source more than 10000 feet (whatever units) down ? "No" is
it more than 1000 feet down ? "No" Is it more than 100 feet
down ? - "Yes" Is it between 100 and 500 feet down - "Yes"
Is it between 100 and 250 feet down - "No" Is it between 250
and 350 feet down - "Yes" Is it between 250 and 300 feet

down - "Yes" Is it between 250 and 275 feet down - " No"
and so on until you get the same figure (282 feet) It will be
obvious to you that the pendulum method takes longer, but it
depends on which tool you prefer to use or are more
comfortable with.

The "bishop's" method of determining the water depth goes
something like this:
from a starting mark, (could use the well location) ask for an
indication of the depth to be the distance from the starting
point to the indication as you walk out from the starting point
in a straight line.
