The orthodox sciences doubt the practical ability of dowsing, as they have yet to find a reasonable explanation. One of the many theories outlined is that objects burying the ground alter the earth’s magnetic field, and some people are able to measure that change.

Hi Victor, the only relevant material that I know of on the web is in a couple of articles of mine:
http://www.landandspirit.net/html/geopathic_stress.html and following pages, especially http://www.landandspirit.net/html/history_of_research.html , for an overview of the topic including the feng shui take on the subject, from my conversations with a number of professors and masters; and
http://www.landandspirit.net/html/healing_with_dragons_-__feng_shui.html for a look at the roots of meaning of the chinese ideogram for ‘sha’.
I would be interested to know if there is any relevant chinese-language material on the web.
best wishes, Richard

Observing the dipping and trembling movements of the Heaven Pool needle is still used by some feng shui masters to divine troubled underground energies aka geopathic stress. The Ming Dynasty text Shui Peng Ba Zhen Fa / Eight Needles of the Water Compass Method is part of the canon of classical feng shui texts, and places divining the ‘mysterious underground energies’ firmly within the aegis of classical feng shui. Dowsing is an historic part, albeit more esoteric than compass school teachings, of classical feng shui. Nowadays many consultants find L-rods or pendulum to be more versatile tools than gaining readings from the subtle movements of the luopan needle, but the principle is identical – feng shui practice has always included dowsing, as well as other shamanic dimensions such as ghost-clearing, right back to Da Yu himself.
