The decision was made to
drill. The resulting boreholes still provides 25000
litres per hour (2009). |
In 1998 Calypso soft drinks
asked Peter Taylor Water Diviner to dowse to find a high
quality source of drinking water on their site.
Peter made a detailed
survey of the area, and was able to give Calypso a report
showing that they could access an excellent source of water;
an aquifer over 5000 years old trapped under boulder clay which
had effectively sealed it off from rainfall.

Extensive dowsing showed
that the water was pristine. This was because it had been
trapped before any man-made pollutants existed. |
