About the medieval warming period, aren't there tree rings studies from around the world that suggest it was not a local anomaly ?

Reply to Eli5....can you dig a well anywhere and hit water...and how did the early ranchers in the West know where to dig for water. Especially in the really dry areas? by pinkshrinkrn
It all depends on.. the amount of water you need, the quality of water, contamination by man or natural. If you need clean drinking water it's a good idea to go through a couple aquifers, to find the cleanest possible water. You could driĺ and hit water pit also a methan pocket at the same time, don't want to drink that. Over time local drillers have accumulated knowledge on there local geology and have a very good understanding where water is.

Every experienced driller I've met (many dozens) uses dowsing rods. They use it on conjuction with other tricks of the trade but it used.
