(2000, 218 pages, soft cover) - Volume One of the Eco-Technology Series - Water: all life depends upon it. Yet, how often do we stop to consider its true significance, its essential nature? According to Schauberger, water is akin to blood in the human body - the most important life-giving and energy-empowering substance on the planet. Yet, with incorrect, ignorant handling, it becomes diseased, affecting human, animal and vegetable life alike, causing physical decay and, in the case of people, their moral, mental and spiritual deterioration as well. Themes addressed include * the natural pulsation of water and how to maintain it * how minute differences in temperature affect the natural function of water in the earth, in plants and in rivers * how to regulate rivers without damaging their vitality and health * the natural conversion of sea-water into fresh water * the consequences of sterilisation and chlorination of water.
