My dad, who is a (now retired) scientist in meteorology (working for the governement for 20 years, also worked with UK- and US-scientists from time to time) actually also hired a dowser when he was to dig a new well at his and mom´s summer cottage.
Why? Well that´s how they did it when he grew up in a rural area of northen Sweden. Why not go with the best methods available he said.
