UK Water Factories Make Use Of 'magic' To Discover Leaks-- Scientists

  Water factories are utilizing divining bars to discover underground pipes in spite of there being no logical confirmation they work, an Oxford University researcher found.

Sally Le Page said her folks were astonished when a professional utilized two "bowed tent pegs" to discover a mains pipe.

She reached all the UK's water organizations , and a greater part affirmed designs still utilize the hundreds of years old method.

Be that as it may, a number said the gear was not standard-issue hardware.

The way toward utilizing divining poles, otherwise called dowsing, has been being used for many years.

'No proof'
A dowser will commonly hold the poles, generally molded like the letter Y, while strolling over land and being ready for any development to discover water.

Developmental researcher Ms Le Page, whose guardians live in Stratford-upon-Avon, first reached Severn Trent Water by means of Twitter
It answered: "We've discovered that a portion of the more seasoned strategies are similarly as powerful than the new ones, however we do utilize rambles also, and now satellites."

Different organizations which gave a comparable reaction were:

》Anglian Water

》Thames Water

》Scottish Water

》Southern Water

》Welsh Water

》Joined Utilities

》Yorkshire Water

Ms Le Page stated: "I can't express this enough: there is no deductively thorough, doubly daze prove that divining bars work.

"Is it safe to say that it isn't somewhat senseless that enormous organizations are as yet utilizing enchantment to carry out their employments?"

In an announcement issued later, Severn Trent stated: "We don't issue divining poles however we trust some of our specialists utilize them."

Every one of the organizations accentuated they don't empower the utilization of divining poles nor issue them to engineers, and said present day techniques, for example, automatons and listening gadgets were favored.

Northern Ireland Water, Northumbrian Water, South West Water and Wessex Water said their designers don't utilize them.
