Everybody seems to have an opinion about water witching. Those who are absolutely certain it can’t work claim that science hasn’t proven it. While the other camp claims it does work and cite a variety of personal experiences to shore up their argument. I’m in the latter group though I have no idea how or why it works. I’ve seen it work so I’m convinced.
OTOH, I can’t do it to save my soul. So I’d have to say that some of the failed “experiments” mentioned in this thread may have been conducted using people like myself who couldn’t find water in their bathtub.
In my opinion, whether the process is a function of physical laws, paranormal activity ot “magic” is of lesser importance than the simple fact that it does work — for some people.
“Those who are absolutely certain it can’t work claim that science hasn’t proven it. “
No. We are claiming that under test conditions no dowsers were ever able to show that they could detect water. These tests were done multiple times with multiple dowsers under conditions agreed to by the dowsers.

They used dowsers. However anyone can claim to be a dowser.
The original dowsing rods had to be a fork from a particular tree. That is WOOD. No they are also using coat hangers, whatever ... METAL.
Why not just lick your finger and stick it up in the air?
