The primary reason to use a water dowser is cost savings. A driller may charge from $20 to $30+ per foot. This can run into the thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars. A water dowser may find a location that is not as deep, meaning you could be save on drilling costs.

Secondly, a water dowser may find a better and cleaner water source. No guarantees. But a water dowser is looking to find an underground water vein or another source of water in the ground and not just drill anywhere.

I am passionate about drinking living water. Listing water is spring fed water that not only tastes good, but is nutritious. Until Covid hit I had for a few years been driving to a spring to collect water to drink. I even have an underground spring in my backyard that the city of Syracuse has prevented me from pounding a well-point into the ground and attaching a hand pump. It is less than twenty feet deep.
