Water Divining

​​​​​​​

Water, the source to all life.  Without water, life cannot be sustained and therefor, at GSS we also do water divining or rather "Water dowsing". It refers in general to the practice of using a forked stick, rod, pendulum, or similar device to locate underground water and has been a subject of discussion and controversy for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

​

Successfully locating underground water can save a farmer the trouble of digging several wells that end up dry, and scientific approaches can be expensive, so there is a strong motivation for people to want water divining to work and it really does work.

​​

The belief in water divining characteristically includes the misunderstanding that underground water entails large underground rivers flowing through caves. In this thinking, one position on a farm would be a good site to drill a well because it lines up with the underground river, whereas another site 1 meter away would be a bad site since it missed the underground river. In truth, most underground water does not flow in rivers but instead flows everywhere through the tiny openings and cracks in the rocks.

​​

Therefore, the question to ask is, "What spot on my farm / land has water underneath it?"  At Gilmag Solution Services, we offer a water divining service and am able to point out those spots of land that does have water underneath.  We CAN tell you how where to drill and with experience we do have a very good success rate.
