Residents of this Hill Country town west of Austin depend on the river for their entire water supply.
I had to read through the sixth paragraph to find the name of “this Hill Country town”....Llano. And I think it’s actually called “dowsing”. I’ve never heard it called “witching”. Of course that doesn’t mean it’s not.
In Texas, it’s called “witching,” and it works. My uncle used peach tree switches and never missed hitting water in always-dry West Texas.
I’ve run a public water supply company for almost 30 years. I’ve seen this work! 2 guys I know can do it. Not just for drilling wells, but for finding lost service lines.
