73 WorldWide Drilling Resource ® APRIL 2015 Through the Back Door! by Jim Kuebelbeck A verbal contract isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. –Sam Goldwyn No one knows everything about everything. We humans sometimes might think we do, but the more a person ob- jectively questions what one really knows, more questions arise. Because of our own life experiences, many of us might be particularly knowledgeable about a certain subject, but even then, we often come to realize someone else actually knows more about it than we do. That being said, even after many years of locating satisfactory ground- water sources by the dowsing methods I have developed, I still do not have many answers to questions that continue to elude me. Initially, because I wasn’t sure I could consistently locate satisfactory water sources beneath the surface by this centuries-old method, I only agreed to try to assist in “last resort” situations. When my efforts proved to be success- ful on sites where all previous attempts to locate satisfactory groundwater sup- plies had failed, I had to admit what I seemed to be able to do, did go far beyond the laws of chance and average. I was supposedly schooled in the arena of higher education where all things had to be subjected to scientific expla- nation and analysis before they would be considered legitimate. The subject of water dowsing did not fit into this cat- egory. By nature, I was probably born to be one of the world’s greatest skep- tics, with an innate aversion to anything unexplainable or whatever didn’t fit into my so-called “educated” mindset. Initially, the legendary accounts of certain indi- viduals being able to locate (sense) groundwater sources beneath the sur- face certainly fit into my personal catego- ry of “impossibilities”. I did have an innate curiosity, however, which led to my ini- tial efforts to attempt to discredit the oft-repeated claims of water dowsers over the centuries. Somewhere along the line this “sly fox” was “eaten by the chickens”, and the rest is now history. I have questions which still puzzle me, however, and perhaps some of the readers of WorldWide can help answer them, or at least provide me with some possible explanations. Of the many satisfactory ground- water sources I have located, why is it none of these dowsed wells have ever gone dry or diminished in volume, even in years of extreme drought? Also, why is it the water sources in the dowsed wells are always of better quality than many of the adjacent wells drilled at random? How does one reasonably explain why the static water level of the water encountered in a dowsed well is almost always far different from adjacent wells? Also, when I locate a “live water flow” right between two obviously con- taminated wells only about a hundred feet apart, and subsequent drilling on my selected site produces excellent qual- ity groundwater, how does one explain this? I realize productive water wells can only yield what can freely pass through the existing subsurface geology. If the geology can consistently only allow ten gallons of water per minute to pass through, and if one attempts to withdraw more (and if the nearby adjacent wells are yielding only contaminated water), wouldn’t one naturally assume that over time, the well with the good quality water would draw in the contaminants from the adjacent contaminated wells? But it does not seem to happen. If anyone has any comments, I’d certainly appreciate them.
