In the upper Midwest where I've lived for a number of years in the past; the water table is occasionally 15 or 20 feet below the surface. I now reside in the Arizona Mountains and to drill a well here, is a major event. 500 feet to 700 feet. I wonder if the sensitivity of the dousing stick is affected by the depth of the water below the surface? I'm wondering if a skilled [b]douser[/b] could help me identify where to drill a well? This is a large piece of property. If one location is better than another, that would be good to know. :peace: [/quote] Good Lord yes, you need to contact a douser before you start drilling.maybe the driller can recommend someone. Or try to walk your own property. There are some videos which give you info on where you are most likely to find wa%er. [/quote]
