As Borehole Drilling in Zimbabwe, ProWater Systems we recommend that prior to drilling a borehole, a borehole site survey or a hydrogeological survey is undertaken to establish the potential quantity and to give an indication of the anticipated quality of water. 

Water Dowsing (Traditional Method): Water divining or dowsing is the name given to a method of locating water without the use of scientific apparatus. L shaped rods are usually used. When used, the L shaped rods, one rod is held in each hand, with the long arm pointing forward. When water is found, the rods cross over one another making an "X" over the location.

There is no scientific evidence that divining is effective, however, the success rate of experienced diviners/ dowsers is unquestionable and some drilling companies still use them to advise on suitable drilling locations.

Borehole Drilling in Zimbabwe can connect you with experienced diviner or dowser will be able to advise on the depth of the water, the amount of water and even its direction of flow.

What is water dowsing? "Water dowsing" refers in general to the practice of using a forked stick, rod, pendulum, or similar device to locate underground water, minerals, or other hidden or lost substances, and has been a subject of discussion and controversy for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

Although tools and methods vary widely, most dowsers (also called diviners or water witches) probably still use the traditional forked stick, which may come from a variety of trees, including the willow, peach, and witch hazel. Other dowsers may use keys, wire coat hangers, pliers, wire rods, pendulums, or various kinds of elaborate boxes and electrical instruments.

In the classic method of using a forked stick, one fork is held in each hand with the palms upward. The bottom or butt end of the "Y" is pointed skyward at an angle of about 45 degrees. The dowser then walks back and forth over the area to be tested. When the dowser passes over a source of water, the butt end of the stick is supposed to rotate or be attracted downward.
