This question is for Earl and others, are you in solid rock areas or unconsolidated sediments? I"ve seen water witching done quite successfully in rock areas where there was water or there wasn"t. A successful well intersected enough cracks in the rock to supply the quantity of water needed. I"m on the coastal plain on unconsolidated sediments and want to install irrigaion but haven"t found enough water yet. There is water everywhere but the quantity depends on the depth of the sand. Below the sand for several hundred feet is a clay layer which doesn"t produce water. Could a water witch determine where the sands are deeper and would produce more water.

Sand seams produce good water flows and Ive seen water come out of clay at a slower rate.

Water witching is one of those odd little talents some people seem to have, to a greater or lesser extent, that we don"t seem to understand enough to openly accept (or know how to "test") but that we know is there...and within those that do have this "talent", their "range of abilities" seems to vary. About all you can do is ask around, try to find people who"ve had wells "witched" (not all will admit it, for fear of ridicule), in the hope you"ll hear of someone who"s relatively successful in your kind of situation, and hope for the best.

Dowsers can find water but quantity and quality is not predictable without more information. Some dowsers can also dowse for depth. In your case, that information would be useful.
