What do you think this says?

It certainly doesn't make any claim there's anything to dowsing other
than "the natural explanation of "successful" water dowsing is that in
many areas water would be hard to miss."

That's damning w/ faint praise in the highest possible favoring light.

The introduction to the full pdf version has the disclaimer "this
leaflet was prepared to answer some of the most frequently asked
questions about the subject of water dowsing and is not intended to make
editorial comment on dowsing."

IOW, it's a politically correct equivalent of a wiki article, not
anything at all researched and peer reviewed.
