Water Divining - Dowsing for Water - John Baker

Professional Water Diviner covering Greater London, S.E England and East Anglia

I discovered the ability to dowse in 1993, quite by chance. I joined the British Society of Dowsers (BSD) and embarked on a great new adventure initially working with local archaeolgists as I needed proof that that what I was 'picking up', did in fact exist and was not the result of feverish imagination.It wasn't!!.

Older human habitations usually required access to a well for themselves and animals.This led to trying to find out if the well tapped into an underground spring or aquifer.

 

Things then moved on to finding water and other utlity pipes. The fascination with water and how to access it grew year by year. Demand for a private water supply is increasing.

having been on several BSD training courses over the years, am now an approved BSD tutor for sub surface features and on the professional register for water and archaeological dowsing.

 

For seven years was the chairman of the BSD special interest group for archaeology in the U.K and Eire.

I have been involved in four T.V programmes from BBC 2 to Sky and have a published book, 'Adventures of a 21st. Century Dowser'' available from the BSD www.britishdowsers.org or from Watkins Books, Cecil Court, off London's Charing Cross Rd;.

Water Dowsing covering Greater London, S.E England and East Anglia

With the demand & cost for water increasing wells are once again being installed.

 

In this instance, the client was lucky in so far as water was dowsed at just over 14'0' down. The actual water when dug through a layer of sand was 14'0' (4.2m). This is extremely shallow & unusual.
The water here is for feeding a small holding with chicken, ducks & fruit trees watered.

 

 

 

The concrete rings are in two types, the lower ones are perforated to allow water ingress. The upper ones are plain & reduce surface contamination.
