OBJECTIVE OF THE UNION

To bring together persons who are interested in the investigation and/or practice of dowsing, and to exchange information for the purpose of increasing scientific knowledge of dowsing.

To contribute to the solution of different problems related to the following themes: Geological cartography, solid mineral prospecting, hydrocarbon exploration, water investigation, engineering geology, the detection from the Earth'surface of caves and other natural or man-made cavities, archeological investigations, geopathogenic zones cartography, the investigation of possible physical reality of cosmoteluric grids, the possible relationship between dowsing-zone time variations obtained across faults and the earthquake activity, and other problems which help to increase the quality of life for humankind.

To promote the publication of scientific information related to dowsing.

To sponsor the development of curriculum, consultations, meetings, congresses, and so on, such that a sustained interchange of information may be established.

REQUIREMENTS FOR AFFILIATION

To posses a Curriculum Vitae which demonstrates coursework, publications, and completed projects related to dowsing such as research and/or field exploration.

Founding members of the SIUD will be considered all persons that enter their/its Curriculum and they will be approved before , April 12, 2002.
