I love this idea, and I was actually thinking the same thing but had refrained from posting it, because I wasn't sure that it follows the developers vision, I guess we will have to wait and see.
I have considered this.

Hows about the dowsing rod only locks on one node at once?

Move only 1-2 tiles towards center of the wedge ob every dowse and you'll find a tile where the water table won't raise any further.

That wont change the fact that:

1- He will only find stupid Image after 5 minutes going in circles like a drunken duck.
2-After plowing and placing stone for 2 more minutes it will, 95% of the time, say - Water runs to deep here.
3- Do this for 2 hours then suicide.

I am liking this idea. Current well can mess with the layouts of the town. This is ironic to be not well! I think rod can point to highest quality water node where water is no higher than rod quality. Search range increases with rod quality.

My guess is that with this mechanic all well spots above q50 on the map will be claimed within two weeks into a new world.

why? were all q50 clay, water, soil spots claimed already this map? there's no difference.
