How did people know where to dig a well before they had access to technology we have today (or the possibility to use drills we have now that you can use pretty much everywhere and drill deep enough that you’ll find water anyway)?
If you’re only using manual labour, you cannot dig very deep so finding water isn’t guaranteed. So how did they figure out where they should dig to find water? (I mean especially in the context of wells on farms or communal wells in villages.)

Was watching a “log cabin” show last week where this guy was building a house by hand out in the woods and he brought in some guy who was an expert in dowsing. So the dowser said dig here and the guy dug about 4ft down and about 4ft in diameter when he hit rock and couldn’t go any further. Thems the breaks says the dowser and walked off.
