Sources: rain/snow/ice melt catchment, surface: creek stream, pond, lake, river & canal; watertable aquifer= groundwater springs, wells, Imported thru pipes that hold water in miles of metal/plastic lines. In old cultures water flows thru wooden, brick or stone channels. Long dammed up water may be warmer, have more bacteria or fish in it.

WATER'S NATURAL PURITY

Water has natural purity from rain evaporated from surface, except if it's poisoned by natural or technology smoke, exhaust or venting from toxichemical sources. Such pure & distilled water is young or immature & absorbs or sucks in minerals & compounds it contacts on the way to us creatures (plants & animals) that need it for growing healthy. The opposite kind of full mature water has many minerals its absorbed from earth enroute to us, or we added to it, to fill its mineral needs.

However now in most civilized & agribiz farming watershed zones the run-off & groundwater is often toxic, contaminated by toxichemical runoff, dumping & seepage from garbage, storage &/or street pollutants. Even the pipes & channels water flows thru can leach toxichemokills into the water we use. Naturally running water is usually more pure than still water, depending on the animal life & man made inputs there.

V.Schauberger claims that cured water needs Carbonic acid from carbon & water combining to breakdown complex minerals, acids & salts essenital for mature water to feed life in plants, animals & bacteria. Weak Carbonic acid forms underground by disolving carbon. Carbonated (soda) water is used in most "soft sweet drinks", used for taste thrill drinks. Carbonic acid can easily evaporate from warm surface water, & is a source of bubbles we see in splashing & shook- up water. Thats's why cisterns, underground water storing is used to contain carbonic acids, by keeping water cool, dark & mineral rich, to be used by creatures to grow.

STORING WATER SAFELY & NATURALLY

How can we store pure water now? to use it later for drinking, work, cleaning etc? Now i get very cold tape water, put in clean 1 gal glass bottles, let sit out in warm air to dechlorinate (the chlorine gas will evaporate out in a day or so), Then i put it in dark, cool & dry space to wait days before using, in rotation letting it age/cure covered with clean cotton, to breathe the air it needs. Also i add a pinch of pure Bentonite clay to an aged gal. to further detoxify & mineralize it for drinking & cooking. Rain water can be pure, if not air polluted(acid rain, etc) so it needs to 'cure' & remineralize, like well, spring & deep water sources have minerals that our body needs.

If we drink much rain or distilled water it can absorb essential minerals from out body tissues, that need to be resupplied thru organic foods or natural suppliments. This is because water needs to cure or mature after its rained down to us, it naturally absorbs thru the ground, soil, rock & sand that mineralize it. Now we can put a pinch of pure rock-dust in water to simply remineralize it, also in sprout-water to start seeds sprouting. Some people put crystals in water containers (or put in/over pyramids) to energize or preserve it. Do you use your senses, plants or animals, for testing for healthy results. For example, do animals drink or get into the water? if so, where & how clean is it for us? In revitalizing old tired or funky water, to put the oxygen in it, shake up or pour from one container to another(like a waterfall) a few times in the sun &or fresh air, if its very flat or old feeling, needing energy. The pouring/falling

of water also ionizes the air with negions good for health.

Traditionally, water storage has been (used) in terra cotta clay & stone bowls pots & jars, clay & tile lined pools; in cured leather & animal organs (bladder, stomach, etc) &/or wooden containers. In more civilized cultures, we use metal, glass, porcelain & nowdays plastic, which emits some toxins. Depending on water temp & the chemokills in containers, ware liquids & acidrinks (tomato & orange juice) can absorb sythetics that can hurt plant & animal growing.

OUTDOOR STORING WATER is best where air is pure (not polluted) in the cool & dark. Cold water is denser & better for energizing our body than warm water, except certain herb teas( see Calum Coats: Living Energies book on Victor Schaubergers spiral energy patterns of 39o temperature is the most potent/dense & intense water to feed life. IF cold water freezes, it must be in open or flexible container, it can break as it expands into ice. Outdoor storing needs to be kept cool to prevent bacteria growth; & dust free if open air, cover with clean clothe. It needs to be moved, shook, poured or spiral daily to cure it for maximum intensity. Open pond, pool & barrel catchment water storage is OK to drink if you filter it first, just B4 using to ingest. Catching water off a roof is easy & pure if not littered by trees or any bird or rodent or bug poop. Also gutters & pipes need to be clean.

TESTING water for PURITY is simple using our senses: seeing its color & clarity or not, smelling & taste for purity. To test it more we can use a Ph (alkaline=base/acid= oxidizeing, called yin/yang) concentrations with a chemo test-tape method. Observing water in nature: is anything living or growin in it? If so what is it? plant or animal or bugs? If nothing is alive in the water, don't drink it or even touch it if not clear or has any color or stink ?. Also the clarity or shine of water tells how fresh & pure it is, the more clear & shiny, the more lifenergy it has & safet to use.

The downhill/streaming of water can purify it in natural flows, especially if it flows around & fall over rocks. If anything rotten is in the water, take it out & compost or mulch it away, then filter it clear. It may help to purify water by getting it cold, can prevent bacteria, or filter it thru clothe, sand, clean charcole, or porus ceramic, lava , pumice, certain kinds of moss, wood or leather. Like mushrooms, water filters are simple & may be toxic if not tested correctly. Filters may remove particles, bacteria or dissolved solids that are more difficult to extract. We use the simple spiraling of water to mix in things & purify or energize it, like in pouring it down will spiral it in, a simple implosion of spirals we absorb to grow with.

WATER IS a cosmic element of life, like air, that teaches us about patterns of energy we need & use inside to balance our fields.
