After penning this article I was reminded that water witching is older than Methuselah. According to records, it looked like the old boy Moses started it all when his gang was hollering around at him that they wanted lots of water. Under that kind of stress, Moses lost his cool and whacked the rock in anger with his divining rod to bring forth water.
Even if I were a religious person, I wouldn’t go for the divining rod, because God really never forgave Moses. All the old guy was allowed to do was to sneak a peek or two at the promised land.
Last spring, Sugar and I were invited to the home of Edmund Nassar for a Circle supper. He is the head of the U.S. Geological Survey, Department of Interior, surface water branch. Also a weatherman from Geiger Field was invited. It was a very informative evening. Why don’t some of you witchers, while in Spokane, drop in at 920 West Riverside, and go up to the sixth floor.
It is advisable to park your tree branches and welding rods in the lobby before entering the office. Edmund will show you who you should talk to about ground surface water in Eastern Washington. At the present time, the State, with federal matching funds, has four water wells for testing purposes. One is located at Rocklyn, another at Almira, and two at Odessa. One is a 5,000 foot deep oil well, that doesn’t have any oil, but is loaded with water.
