Water diviners say the practice is growing in popularity, yet even they don’t know how it works
Roman Dubinchak still gets excited when he finds water.
“Every day when you strike water it’s a great feeling because you know you’re changing someone’s life to a degree, giving them a resource that they can fall back on for the rest of their life,” he said.
Mr Dubinchak owns a drilling company in Townsville, north Queensland, and offers water divining, a practice dating to the 1500s, as a service to his rural clients.
