I am considering a water well I have 8 acres and I am skeptical of dowsers. Is there a scientific way to find well water that is less expensive than paying $30,000 to drill a dry hole like my neighbor did?

Not that would be any more accurate.
You may be able to find an aquifer map for your area that lets you know where and how deep you would have to dig.
Witch for it.
YOU may be skeptical of dowsers, but believe me, they are used with astounding success all over the world, to find not only water, but water pipes, septic systems, etc. I have no explanation, except that some people seem to have the gift, and I’m pretty sure they don’t charge anywhere near $30, 000 for their services.
I asked the guys who drilled my well this question and they said no. They said if you drill enough wells, you sort of get to know what you’re likely to find in an area, but there really is no way to accurately predict. I suppose we’re lucky here, water is fairly close to the surface. They found water at my place at 80 feet. My next door neighbour, whose well is a few hundred feet away, has water at 50 feet.

There is much proven scientific evidence that dowsing does not work. In fact if you can prove it does work you could pocket One Million Dollars… just copy and paste this web address to your browser and good luck.
The answer to your question is Yes, there is a scientific way to find groundwater… There are several groundwater surveyor companies who will research the geology, water tables, well logs, and do EKS testing to find the right location and depth to drill for you. Then they can make recommendations for drillers, and save you much grief and money.
There is much more to well development than drilling a hole in the ground. Every step is important but the first step is to find the best well location, and know how deep to drill and how much water you can expect. Then it is vital that your driller knows all the aspects of well development, and how to not cause damage to the aquifer. Most drillers are good at drilling but do not have the experience or ability to find the best well location. That, and believing in myths and fairytales is why people pay $30,000.00 for dry holes.
