Welcome again to this fourth article on water, where we see

how water moves about our planet in remarkable ways.

I hope you are enjoying finding out some of the secrets of

this amazing element we are so dependent on.

OK, so lets visualise water traveling around the earth.

It starts with the sun's warmth lifting up billions of tiny

water droplets from seas, lakes and the moist earth. Then

rising up invisibly it becomes soft humidity in the air and

then because of stronger rising warmth, water moves further

up to gather together as clouds in the atmosphere above.

These many differing clouds are blown here and there,

to fall finally as rain in perhaps far distant places.

Where this rain falls on mountains, the water flows down

through gravity's pull to the hills below, rushing onwards

in many streams that pause briefly in dark ponds, then

press forwards to a local river that gathers in one mighty

flow across flat plains into the sea again.

We know it was on the banks of such great rivers as

the Indus or Euphrates, the Yangtze, the Nile or the Rhine

that people first gathered in villages that grew to become

great cooperative or warring cities.

Why? Because where a river is, particularly when running

across a fertile delta near the sea, there is found rich

soil, plentiful food and easy transport.

This, as described above, we call the Great Water Cycle. 

It spreads water all around our world and at the same time

carries health giving nutrients to all living things, while

also cleansing and refreshing itself through its own

pathways and movements.

But there are also many smaller water cycles within this

great planetary one.

The oceans have a water cycle where vast internal rivers,

that we call ocean currents, flow through all the salt waters

of our world, carrying warm and cold waters to affect various

countries' weather patterns, flora and fauna.

These enormously powerful currents dive down kilometers deep

into the watery darkness when they cool near the ice caps and

then rise again thousands of miles away in warm waters,

spreading food worldwide for what used to be a stupendously

rich marine life.

It is interesting to note that the cool dark water around the

ice caps is where the richest marine life exists, while in

the warm waters the less abundant life-forms express

themselves in incredibly varied exotic tropical colors.

Of course, every living thing has its own little water cycle

in the flowing blood, lymph, sap and cellular fluids that

come in and leave our little bodies. This is our

constitutional health.

Back in outer nature, water also cycles deep down into the

ground, heating up well over boiling point yet remaining

liquid while under pressure.

Rain can spend centuries filtering through cracks in mountains

to emerge in pitch black dark caves, the most precious

enriched water one can ever wish to taste.

It can also flow in underground shingle rivers not far under

the surface of arid deserts,only recently visible from outer

space.

And far underground in the Antarctic there are what we call

fossil water lakes, with water gathering there for millions

of years, as pure as the world is old.

Sadly it is just this type of deep fossil water in other

lands that has been used to pressure the last dregs of oil

from under performing wells. 

And uncountable numbers of irrigation bores have drawn

up vast amounts of less deep, underground water supplies

in the last century, supplies that took perhaps millions of

years to build up and are not quickly replaced.

This leads us to another water cycle, our own industrial

water cycle.

Since human beings learned to clean ourselves, wash food

and dye clothes, we have pulled water out of its natural

flowing cycles, and used it for our own purposes.

As early as 4000 years ago in the Minoan culture on Crete we

had underground piping systems engineered for water supply

to urban populations.

But it was not until recently in the mid 1700s, when the

Industrial Revolution with its clever machinery started in

England, that we took hold of water in larger amounts to

process, transport, mix and clean our mass production of

goods.

In those days human populations were still small, and even

the invention of the flushing toilets in London around 1815

made little mark on the pristine waters beyond the lower

Thames river.

But now, what is happening?  In 1970 the world population

was 3 billion. It has doubled since then to over 6 billion!

Industry has more than doubled with it. As well as our

factories, our farming is often run with a chemical salts

input-output factory mentality, applying water at twice the

rate that is needed using the long workable organic methods.

Water that is supplied to the great cities' taps is water

that has gone through town water purification systems and

possibly also over 10 sets of kidneys since it was last in

the great refreshing water cycle of nature, where it can

cleanse and energise itself in nature's most efficient ways,

used successfully since the dawn of time.

Pollutants and excess nutrients from human homes, farms and

factories are thrown back into our waterways in amounts that

quite simply boggle the mind, as the figures as quoted in

terms of cubic kilometers of ruined water.

At this moment we ought to remember what we learned

before; that fresh water moving through nature's great water

cycle is only a tiny 0.6% of the world's total water supply!

It is vital that our human urban and industrial use takes

the same approach that nature takes.

'Improve What You Use', is the motto we need to apply to

our use of this water.

For not only is there chemical pollution but there is also

energetic (or information) pollution of water. Nature cleans

its own water but also rejuvenates it, refreshing it in very

intelligent ways.

Really, we need to learn from nature in order to design with

nature, learning from the methods it has used so

successfully for so long.

But more on that later.
