Water Witching!

Hi all of you!
We are struggling to find water!

You would like to ask me…
what do you want to say???

If I open the fountain in your B&B…is there no water flowing?
How can I go for a nice bath…if water is not filling the tub?
Don’t you have water?

Maybe for the most people…also for me…it was quit normal to have water at home?
I don’t know if I ever wondered were the water was coming from.
It’s just there….who borders?

It’s not at all so easy as it seems…

that's what I learned, specially after today .

No, we don’t have water, or water pipes bringing us water to the house.

Until today we used our property well in the wine yard of the neighbour, to have water.

The well is on surface level, that means we have water but not enough to serve home, work and garden.

We asked a permission to bore a new one, close to the house as that is much more efficient for different reasons.

One, because its always better to have it on your property land,
two, because no needs of pumps, to pump the water to the house.

To know were to bore, to locate and find the under ground water,
we use here in Italy an old fashion habit…. the forked stick method!

A men with a Forked stick from a three somehow sense the gradients and unconsciously respond by wagging his forked stick.

The two ends of the stick are held in a rather uncomfortable grip in such a way that the stick is under considerable tension--coiled up like a spring, as it were. Any of four minor muscle movements will result in the stick taking a sudden lurch downward .

It bends toward the sky when water is found.

There is no scientific reason why dowsing should work , it apparently works well enough and reliably enough to keep the practice alive.

That’s why we fully trusted our friend “ The Dowser” !

When he walks around doing his number with the stick, I mean the dowser, it’s like a magician doing some kinds of rites…

and who secretly doesn’t want to believe in magic, the plunging-stick phenomenon seemed so convinced that we went home convinced to have done the job!!!

We found the water…more than that, it was also a magical show!

Ha!

That’s why yesterday we started to drill in front of the house, there were we supposed to find water.

Well…for us that just the beginning…and we even do not know until now were we will end...
because.....
our unconsciously feat and optimism got a oepssssssssssssssssssssssss,
when after 104 meter and two day’s of drilling water is still not present.

The following day’s we have to program what to do because the whole show has also a cost,

and a solution is a MUST!

I suggested two left over options to a blow Fabio,

or praying to ENKI Sumerian, god of water and wisdom,or using scientific tools to finally find the wished water!

The pipes to make the holes are 4 meter each.
They are attached one after the other.
The machine is making plenty noises to drill thru the heavy clay ground.
