So far we can conclude that out of 100% of the population A% cannot use the dowsing method to find water, B% can use the dowsing method to find water and c% say dowsing what's that? I am interested in the B% that claim they can and what possible forces (gravity/magnetic, etc) could explain this so that i can concentrate on building a real life remote sensing machine, the subject of which, is covered in this forum/thread. Out of the B% I would also agree that 100% of the B% of the population can use the divining method for finding water and so now to question number 2 for my tree.
No.2 - Does water conduct electricity?
happy prospecting

Hmmm... Interesting point of view.
I think I would get on the camel and ride him away from where the trees are planted until I arrive at the local pub where I can quench my thirst without relying on digging a questionable hole.

To answer your question No.2, no... water does not conduct electricity. But things dissolved in water can. I suspect most ground water has a lot of stuff dissolved in it, and would be somewhat conductive, but not as conductive as copper wire.


Best wishes,
