Dowsing Revelations

Starting with Sweet Spring, we took a water sample and measured the flow at 7/10Qf a gallon per minute. It, along with many other springs in Eureka, had been prolific at the turn of the century, but the shifting karst, or fractured limestone, subsurface had redirected the underground streams feeding the springs through the years, eventually decreasing the flow.
Since our last dowsing encounter, Harold's water diversion technique had decidedly changed. He took out his brass dowsing rods and walked twenty paces to an area to the west. When he discerned a vein of uncontaminated water beneath him with his dowsing tool, instead of pounding rebar into the ground, he proceeded to meditate.
He mentally attempted to divert the clean vein of water into Sweet Spring to increase the flow and to decrease the level of bacteria. Although Harold said it would take several days for the spring to "adjust" to this sort of manipulation, I went ahead and re-measured the flow. We were excited to note that it had increased slightly. Considering that we had not received any rain for over two weeks, any infiltration of rainwater seepage into the spring, causing fluctuations in flow, was out of the question.
We then traveled to the other two springs, measured pre-dowsing flow and bacteria levels. Harold and Gladys left us shortly after. He said the preliminary work was done. He wanted to go back home to meditate on the water diversion and cleansing. "I do my best work out of my own home these days," Harold said. "It's quiet, I'm comfortable and safe, and able to really concentrate."
Several days later, I returned to measure the results. The weather had held. We had received zero precipitation, thus the flow measurements would be true. I was prepared for some profound readings.
While the flow at Cave Springs had decreased, Sweet Springs's flow had slightly increased once again by about five-percent. The bacteria level at Onyx Spring had increased, no doubt due to the coloform being concentrated in a decreasing flow (lack of rain). But the level of bacteria had decreased at Sweet Spring.
The small success at Sweet Spring has encouraged us to continue our dowsing research. We intend to try again when Harold McCoy has returned from one of his many speaking tours and is settled quietly back in his easy chair in the den, eyes closed, pendulum in hand, and his mind one with the springs of Eureka
