Water Dowsing

[Lycheborne 37]

Dowsing , sometimes called doodlebugging , divining or water witching , is a practice whereby dowsers attempt to locate hidden water wells, buried metals, gemstones, or other objects as well as currents of earth radiation without the use of scientific apparatus. A Y- or L-shaped twig or rod is sometimes used during dowsing, although some dowsers use other equipment or no equipment at all.

Dowsing has been in use since ancient times and is still widely practiced, despite scientific evidence disproving its efficacy.

Dowsing used for finding water, minerals, or other hidden substances. A dowser generally uses a Y-shaped piece of hazel, rowan, or willow wood (also called a dowser or a divining rod). The dowser grasps the rod by its two prongs and appears, while walking, to be receiving transmissions from beneath the earth. If the rod quivers violently or points downward, some buried substance has been located. First practiced in Europe during the Middle Ages, dowsing is most often used to find water but may also be employed to locate precious metals, buried treasure, archaeological remains, or even dead bodies.

No worries I am just not sure Bioxx would put in a dowsing rod and I know he will never put in a divining rod so you are out of luck there. Maybe when more finite water aspects are added into the game some way of finding fresh water besides taste testing will be done... Or some form of water well will be implemented or the like.

It would be useful if Thirst is added to the game and sea water is not the kind of water you can drink, So then you have to find a Underground water source or a lake

Just some thoughts
