Water and its great mysteries…. The Great Mystery of Water - a collection of films about water

During the energy crisis, on May 25, there were reports of. The lack of electricity led to the shutdown of pumps in the sewer, stopped the work of treatment facilities. After the accident, environmental authorities officially closed dozens of Moscow beaches for swimming.

We have at our disposal several official documents of the sanitary and epidemiological services of the city of Moscow (Assessment of the state of water bodies according to the data of the sanitary and epidemiological service of the State Central State Environmental Health Service of Moscow for 2003, Assessment of the state of water bodies according to the data of the State Institution "Moscow TsGMS-R" and some other expert conclusions), which were kindly provided to us by the Russian branch of the international environmental organization Greenpeace. From the documents, one can form an opinion about the general state of pollution of the capital's water bodies.

So, the constant analysis of the state of Moscow waters from 1995 to this day indicates a gradual decrease in the level of concentration of harmful substances, which experts explain by the fall in industrial production. However, it's too early to rejoice. On the other hand, several years ago, in the samples taken, exceedances of the limits for the maximum content of heavy metals (cadmium, zinc, lead) were again recorded. This phenomenon is associated with the use of . An increase in the content of oil products in small rivers flowing in the industrial zones of the city in the South-Eastern, Southern and South-Western districts was noted. Almost all Moscow water is characterized by intense microbial contamination. Microbes in reservoirs, according to official calculations, are actively supplied by wastewater from aeration stations, surface and melted runoff, as well as a storm sewer system.

Fishermen and swimmers take note. The water in the Moskva River in the documents was characterized from "moderately polluted" in the north-west, where the water artery only enters the city, "polluted" - up to the Moscow Oil Refinery, well, after - just "dirty".

So, this was official information based on the conclusions of the state expertise. For a detailed comment, we turned to the co-chairman of the Council of the International Socio-Ecological Union (SOES), Candidate of Biological Sciences Svyatoslav Zabelin.


Almost everywhere in Moscow reservoirs with clean water is bad, if not to say that it is practically non-existent. There are many reasons for this, and the main one is the fixed production assets of enterprises that are outdated by 70-80%. Investments have recently been directed mainly to production, but they are reluctant to invest money in wastewater treatment. "If the water in any Moscow reservoir meets the standards, then this is exclusively the good will of the head of the nearest enterprise," says Zabelin. Fines for water pollution are purely symbolic amounts. For example, for dumping one ton of cyanide into a reservoir, in accordance with Government Decree No. 344 of June 12, 2003, it will be necessary to pay a fine of as much as 5,510 rubles. Dear readers, if you inadvertently use even one milligram of these same cyanides, the probability of death is very high. And this is not the most egregious example, there are numbers and more abruptly.

Want more egregious examples? You are welcome. Kuzminsky Park is located in the southeast of Moscow, where parents with children often walk, and especially desperate citizens swim in local ponds. Moreover, about eight years ago, environmentalists received information about the military poison gas buried here - mustard gas. And what do you think, informed us during these years of power about mustard gas in Kuzminki? According to ecologists from SOES, never!

The next problem is monitoring the state of water bodies and informing the public about recorded pollution. Everyone, probably, has heard a lot about the so-called norms for the content of harmful substances in water, air, soil - the maximum permissible concentration (MAC). Water bodies, unfortunately, are such a changeable environment that the level of concentration of harmful substances in them is constantly changing. Yesterday, the samples were normal, and since morning, someone kindly poured untreated drains into the desired pond or it rained acid ...

Remember, in Soviet times, every apartment had a radio station. One of the important functions of the radio station was to alert citizens about catastrophes and natural disasters. Now, as a civil defense system, radio stations do not work, and nothing new has been created. (By the way, Muscovites were left without information about what was happening during the massive power outage.) Ideally, information about environmental monitoring should be constant.

In the meantime, society cannot effectively control the environmental situation, environmentalists are advised not to swim in Moscow reservoirs. As Svyatoslav Zabelin said, "from the point of view of a natural scientist, it is impossible to open one beach and close another on the same river." It's just against common sense. Especially after the energy crisis on May 25th. The most dangerous pollution of the aquatic environment for humans is biological, when pathogens of dangerous diseases (dysentery and other "joys") enter the water. During the accident on May 25, sewage flows, the main source of biological pollution, got into the reservoirs.


In order to listen to both sides, we turned to the Moscow branch of Rosprirodnadzor for comments. In the press service, an employee who did not identify himself referred us to the official publications of the monitoring reports, saying that they could not give more information. So, swimming is officially temporarily prohibited in the Troparevo recreation area (South-West Administrative District), as well as in the conditionally accepted (what would that mean, gentlemen officials?) Levoberezhny, Water Stadium, Academic Ponds (SAO) zones. Recreational areas with swimming - "Serebryany Bor-2", "Serebryany Bor-3" and "Khimki-2" (SZAO) - were not accepted into operation. Without bathing, recreation areas are accepted: "Borisovskie Prudy", "Gerzenovsky Pond", "Beckett", "Verkhne-Tsaritsynsky Pond" (YuAO). Conditionally accepted without swimming: Golovinsky and Angarsky ponds, the coastal zone near the housing complex "Lebed", a pond in the park "Druzhba", the bay of the "Brick Factory" (SAO), "Terletskaya Dubrava", "Kuskovo", "Silver-Grape Pond", "Lebedyansky Pond", "Deer Ponds", "Cherkizovsky Pond", "Putyaevsky Ponds" (VAO). The rest of the waters, apparently, are considered safe.

Perhaps, one of the main reasons for the deplorable state of the water bodies of our cities should be recognized as the constant shake-up of the system of environmental authorities, which for some reason are called reforms. Authoritative experts in the field of ecology have been talking about the "de-ecology" of the Russian government for several years now. Thus, in 2000, the system of nature protection institutions was actually liquidated. And then, in the course of the administrative reform, two monsters functionally duplicating each other appeared - Rostekhnadzor and Rosprirodnadzor. In such circumstances, it is simply not necessary to talk about state policy in the field of nature protection.

Project "Secrets of Water"

"Water! Water, you have no taste, no color, no smell

you cannot be described, you are enjoyed,

without knowing what you are! You can't say that you

vital You are life itself!

Antoine de Saint-Exupery.

View project: cognitive, creative research.

Type project: short term

Time spending: 5 weeks late February-March.

Object of study: water.

Subject of study: properties water, fluidity, transparency, odorless. The transition from one state to another, the cycle water in nature, the water system of the planet Earth, can be in three states, (liquid, solid, gaseous)

Members project: children 6-7 years old, educators, parents.

Relevance: Project developed due to the special relevance of the problem of educating the ecological culture of preschoolers, love for the nature of the native land, as the child's small homeland. The progressive deterioration of the health of adults and children contributes to soil pollution, water and air, as a result of which people eat contaminated food, drink bad water, breathe air with an admixture of exhaust gases.

Understanding the elementary connections that exist in nature, a sense of empathy for everything, an effective readiness to create it, perception of the beauty of nature - these are the components of ecological culture.

Children need to instill the skills of an environmentally literate attitude in everyday life, in particular, teach them to treat water carefully and economically. Pay attention to the fact that even such a familiar object as water is fraught with a lot of unknown.

“For a child, it is more natural and therefore much easier to comprehend new things by conducting their own research - observing, setting up experiments, making their own judgments and conclusions based on them, than to receive knowledge already obtained by someone in "ready-made". (A. I. Savenkov).

Therefore, it is necessary to increase the share of research teaching methods in the educational process.

Formulation of the problem: Development of cognitive activity of children. Implementation project« Secrets of water» will create conditions for enhancing the cognitive activity of children, expand their knowledge of the meaning water for man and the life of all living things on planet Earth. Development of curiosity in the process of active cognitive research activity.

Problem: Children's lack of systematized knowledge and ideas about the meaning water for humans and all living beings on Earth, properties and states of aggregation water at different times of the year. A conscious careful attitude to the water resource has not been formed.

Target project: Development of cognitive interest in the process of experimental activities. Formation in children of a conscious, careful attitude to water as an important natural resource, that is, the upbringing of environmental consciousness. Determining Significance water for all life on earth.

Tasks of the teacher:

1. Create conditions for the formation of elementary environmental knowledge in children.

2. Replenish the mini-lab materials: demonstration material, file of experiments, art word, glass test tubes, flasks, measuring cups, bulk substances, etc.

3. The development of creativity and imagination, communication skills in the activities of children, through social interaction in games and activities.

4. To acquaint with the problem of pollution of the water space of the Earth, with the rules of personal safety.

5. Contribute to the development of a positive, humane attitude towards nature.

Tasks for children:

1. Consolidate knowledge about properties water.

2. Familiarize yourself with different cleaning methods water.

How the water molecule stores and transmits information

Water stores "genetic memory" due to the fact that in the structural and dynamic parameters of the aquatic environment (having specific biological activity) there is information about previous effects, including the effects of the water purification processes themselves. Purified water can be considered water with a high level of structural and dynamic parameters (like "melt water").

Features of the physical properties of water and numerous short-lived hydrogen bonds between neighboring hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a water molecule create favorable opportunities for the formation of special associate structures (clusters) that perceive, store and transmit a wide variety of information.

Water, consisting of many clusters of various types, forms a hierarchical spatial liquid crystal structure that can perceive and store large amounts of information.

Information carriers can be physical fields of various nature. Thus, the possibility of remote information interaction of the liquid crystal structure of water with objects of various nature with the help of electromagnetic, acoustic and other fields was established. A person can also be an influencing object.

The structural unit of water is a cluster consisting of clathrates, the nature of which is determined by long-range Coulomb forces. The structure of the clusters encodes information about the interactions that have taken place with these water molecules. In water clusters, due to the interaction between covalent and hydrogen bonds between oxygen atoms and hydrogen atoms, proton migration (H+) can occur according to the relay mechanism, leading to proton delocalization within the cluster.

Water is a source of ultra-weak and weak alternating electromagnetic radiation. The least chaotic electromagnetic radiation is created by structured water. In this case, the induction of the corresponding electromagnetic field can occur, which changes the structural and informational characteristics of biological objects.

Any system whose order level is above the minimum acceptable 60% starts self-regulatory maintenance of ordered interactions. The higher the content of clusters in water, the more ordered its structure, the more it is able to reproduce itself, which is observed in living systems. This indicates that the water of the human body can play a system-forming role, on the one hand, and a regulatory role, on the other.

Japanese researcher Masaru Emoto provides amazing evidence for the informational properties of water. He established that no two samples of water form completely identical crystals when frozen, and that their shape reflects the properties of water, carries information about one or another effect on water.

Masaru Emoto's first book, Messages from Water, was published in 2002. It has been translated into many languages ​​of the world, including Russian.

The discovery of a Japanese researcher about the memory of water, according to many scientists, is one of the most sensational made at the turn of the millennium.

The starting point for Masaru Emoto's research was the work of the American biochemist Lee Lorenzen, who in the eighties of the last century proved that water perceives, accumulates and stores the information communicated to it. Emoto began to cooperate with Lorenzen. At the same time, his main idea was to find ways to visualize the resulting effects. He developed an effective method for obtaining crystals from water, on which various information was previously applied in liquid form through speech, inscriptions on a vessel, music, or through mental circulation.

In the laboratory of Dr. Emoto, water samples from various water sources around the world were examined. The water has been exposed to various types of influences, such as music, images, electromagnetic radiation from a TV or mobile phone, the thoughts of one person and groups of people, prayers, printed and spoken words in different languages. More than 50,000 photographs have been taken.

Water reacts to the thoughts and emotions of the people around it, to the events that happen to the population. Crystals formed from freshly made distilled water have the simple shape of the well-known hexagonal snowflakes. The accumulation of information changes their structure, complicating, increasing their beauty if the information is good, and, on the contrary, distorting or even destroying the original forms, if the information is evil, offensive. Water encodes the received information in a non-trivial way. You still need to learn how to decode it. But sometimes “curiosities” turn out: the crystals formed from the water next to the flower repeated its shape.

Masaru Emoto announced his sensational experiments with water on March 16, 2004 at a meeting with Polish researchers and journalists at the Institute of Geology in Warsaw. These results caused a sensation. Numerous and varied experiments, many thousands of photographs have demonstrated that the information received by water is perceived and reflected in the form of a geometric structure of crystals, which are its images.

The technology for obtaining photographs is as follows. Water, the crystals of which are to be obtained, is poured into fifty Petri dishes and placed in a refrigerator with a temperature of -25 degrees Celsius. Then, the crystals were photographed under a microscope in a room where the temperature was constantly maintained at -5 degrees Celsius. A water crystal “lives” under a microscope for an average of no more than two minutes.

Since there are no completely identical crystals in the treated fifty images, a photograph is selected that reflects the most common form.

Thus, water has a physical memory that allows it, even after significant dilution - without a single molecule of informing substance in a homeopathic remedy - to recognize the information stored in the molecules. At the same time, NEGATIVE (in the sense of harmful) information, of course, is also preserved.

THE GREAT MYSTERY OF WATER


Water was endowed with a soul in many cultures of the world. The discovery by modern scientists of the fourth, informational, state of water has become a proof of her memory.

Unique TV project "The Great Mystery of Water"- this is an attempt to penetrate the hidden properties of this element, which do not fit into the framework of general physical laws. Water is able to perceive, store and transmit information, even as subtle as a human thought, emotion, word. Japanese scientist Emoto Masaru managed to photograph the emotions of water. Scientists from Russia, Kazakhstan, Israel, USA, England, Austria, Japan, China, Tibet talk about their amazing discoveries in this area.

Now humanity is on the verge of a completely different understanding of the laws of the universe, opening up new perspectives: the possibility of programming water, water treatment of complex diseases, weather control. Representatives of all religious denominations take part in the film. The film does not assert, but provides real facts. To believe or not to believe is everyone's business. The main thing is that there is a desire to think about it and reflect ...

Japanese scientist - Dr. Emoto conducted research in the laboratory, where water samples were taken from various water sources around the world. The water has been exposed to various types of influences such as music, images, electromagnetic radiation from the TV, the thoughts of one person and groups of people, prayers, printed and spoken words.

In nature, there are 10% pathogens and 10% beneficial, the remaining 80% can change their properties from beneficial to harmful. Dr. Emoto believes that approximately the same proportion exists in human society.

The crystal structure of water consists of clusters (a large group of molecules). Words like "fool" destroy clusters. Negative phrases and words form large clusters or none at all, while positive, beautiful words and phrases form small, tense clusters. Smaller clusters retain the memory of water longer. If there are too large gaps between clusters, other information can easily enter these areas and destroy their integrity, thus erasing information. Microorganisms can also get in there. The tense dense structure of clusters is optimal for long-term storage of information.

Dr. Emoto's lab did many experiments to find the word that purifies the water the most, and as a result, they found that it was not one word, but a combination of two words: "Love and Gratitude."

Lost lakes

The lakes are very curious, as if playing hide and seek, now disappearing from the face of the earth, then reappearing. In the spring, due to the abundance of melt water, they overflow, and in the summer they begin to shallow and suddenly completely disappear. In our country there are several such reservoirs - in the area between Onega and White lakes, as well as in the Nizhny Novgorod, Novgorod and Leningrad regions. In spring and early summer, these reservoirs are not particularly different from their counterparts. Although if you look closely, in completely calm weather, when the surface of ordinary lakes is calm, it ripples and worries, and closer to the center there is something like a cycle. This is because there are deep funnel-shaped pits at the bottom of the reservoirs, into which, twisting in a spiral, water leaves.
After the flood, when the inflow of melt water weakens, the water level in these lakes drops. They quickly become shallow: first, islands appear and grow, then the bottom is exposed. And finally, there comes a moment when the reservoirs simply disappear. In the driest years, people graze cattle and mow grass in their place.

The most famous of the disappearing reservoirs are Shimozero, Kushtozero and Sukhoe. The first disappears in August, the second - in July, the third - in September. Lake Dry, for example, is connected by an underground passage with Ilmen, and Kushtozero with Onega. It used to happen that a pike released in Sukhoi with an earring or a radio sensor was later caught in Ilmen.
Scientists explain the disappearance of such lakes by purely geological reasons. These reservoirs are located in the region of karst caves and feed underground lakes, as well as various springs and springs. Sometimes a collapse occurs at the site of the funnels, and then the “drain” is clogged. In such cases, reservoirs may exist unchanged for several years, but in the end the water still dissolves the limestone and dolomite rocks and washes a new way into the underground.

Unusual content

Some of the natural lakes are filled with such unusual contents that one can only be surprised at the vagaries of nature. Take, for example, Lake Trinidad, located fifty kilometers from the northern part of Venezuela, near the settlement of La Brea, and filled with ... real asphalt. The lake is located in the crater of a former mud volcano, its depth is 90 meters, and its area is 46 hectares. Coming out of the bowels of the earth through the mouth of a volcano, oil lying at great depths loses volatile substances, as a result of which it turns into asphalt. All this takes place in the center of the lake basin, in a place called Mother Lake. Up to 150 thousand tons of asphalt, which is used for construction purposes, is mined in Mother Lake, but its reserves are inexhaustible.

A person can safely walk on the surface of the lake, with the exception of its center, without fear of perishing in a viscous mass. But it is impossible to stay for a long time and linger in one place without moving: the thickness of the asphalt begins to drag on. Any object left on the surface of the lake disappears into the black abyss after a while. Scientists who explored the bowels of the asphalt lake discovered a whole cemetery of prehistoric animals - the bones of mastodons that died out during the ice age, and even the remains of ancient lizards.

There are reserves of asphalt in the Dead Sea, famous for its healing properties. Many people know about its extreme salinity and unique composition of water, but not everyone has ever heard of asphalt deposits. Accumulations of asphalt, resembling resin in appearance, from time to time float to the surface and are thrown ashore by waves. Asphalt has been mined in the Dead Sea since ancient times. It is used in various industries: for building roads, tarring ships, obtaining all kinds of chemical products ... Until the middle of the 20th century, it was believed that the Dead Sea region was practically the only supplier of asphalt in the world, and only in the 50s of the last century were discovered and developed new deposits.

The hottest and most explosive

Near the Red Sea, on the Sinai Peninsula, there is one amazing lake. It is separated from the sea by a wide bridge made of petrified shell rock. Marine fish and other representatives of the fauna live in the upper layers of the lake, bluish-green algae grow in shallow water. And the amazing thing about this lake is its temperature. At the surface, the water temperature almost all year round is invariably +16°С, at a depth of 6 meters or more it fluctuates from +48°С in winter to +60°С in summer. Because of this, all living creatures prefer to settle in the upper layer. The upper and lower tiers also differ in salinity: at the top it is 42-43 ppm, and near the bottom it is twice as rich. There are other hot and salty lakes in the world, but none of them has such an amazing vertical distribution of salinity and temperature.
The warmest body of water in the country of eternal frost is in Antarctica. The thickness of the ice covering Lake Vanda is 4 meters. Directly under the ice, the water is fresh, and at a depth it is already salty. Even in the most severe frosts, reaching -50-70°C, the temperature of the water under the ice does not drop below +6°C, and at the bottom (at a depth of 70 meters) it is +25-28°C, as if in some southern sea. The most amazing thing is that there are no hot springs at the bottom of this reservoir! Wanda's secret, according to scientists, is that the lake is a kind of giant thermos. Its crystal clear and transparent waters, in which there are no microorganisms, are well warmed up by the sun through a lens of ice that refracts the sun's rays. The warmest are deep waters, which, due to their salinity, greater density and gravity, remain below and do not mix with the upper layers.

The most beautiful lake Bosumtwi is located in the Republic of Ghana, in tropical African forests, 30 kilometers southeast of the city of Kumasi. It is known as the most unpredictable body of water in the world. Bosumtwi has the shape of a regular circle, as if someone had drawn a circle with a gigantic compass and dug a hole here about 400 meters deep and 7 kilometers in diameter. The color of the water in the lake is bluish, in some places along the shores the jungle parted and form glades, on which there are small settlements. Several mountain streams flow into the lake, but not a single river flows out of it. Apparently, therefore, the water level in it is steadily rising, gradually flooding the villages located on the shore. But most of all, Bosumtwi shocks people with his explosive temper. For many months it keeps silence and calm, when suddenly it suddenly explodes: in the depths of it, a giant air bubble seems to burst, huge cascades of water fly up, the surface of the lake boils and rages. Gradually, Bosumtwi calms down.

Because of such explosions, a lot of fish die, and the natives collect prey with nets. Scientists believe that the cause of the explosions are bottom sediments, in which organic matter decays. The released gases accumulate to the maximum limit, and then violently escape from the bowels of the lake.

For geographers, Bosumtwi is a real mystery. Some researchers believe that the lake was formed as a result of a giant meteorite falling to Earth, others adhere to the hypothesis of an antimatter explosion that did not leave any fragments and debris behind. And finally, the most plausible version is the formation of Bosumtwi as a result of volcanic activity. It is likely that the lake, located in a mountainous region, occupies the bottom of a destroyed volcano cone that existed in ancient times.

Hiding the secret of origin

Lake Mogilnoye, located on Kildin Island near the Kola Peninsula, is considered the most “layered” body of water in the world. The height of the water in it is slightly higher than sea level, despite the fact that it is separated from the sea by only a gravel-sand bridge. Resembling a layer cake, the reservoir is divided into five completely independent, not similar tiers of floors. The lowest tier, located at a depth of 17-18 meters, is filled with liquid silt. Organic residues coming from the upper floors rot here. This layer is dead, devoid of oxygen, but hydrogen sulfide is present in large quantities there. The only inhabitants of the first tier are some types of bacteria. On the second floor, eternal twilight reigns, the water is saturated with purple-colored bacteria, coloring it in a cherry pink color.

These bacteria actively absorb and oxidize the hydrogen sulfide coming from below, so that the deadly gas does not pass into the upper tiers.
In the third layer from the bottom, life is in full swing. There are starfish, hedgehogs and crustaceans on this floor, as well as a special type of cod, called Kildin in honor of the island. The fourth floor is a transitional zone, the water in it is moderately brackish, there are no marine life. But the fifth, uppermost, tier is filled with fresh (!) Water, cold and clear. Numerous inhabitants live there, typical of Arctic reservoirs. Mogilny Lake is one of the oldest. It survived several geological epochs and preserved some species of living creatures that have long disappeared in the neighboring Barents Sea. Researchers still do not know how this lake appeared and why it is divided into layers.

There is also the most lifeless body of water on the territory of Russia, in which, it would seem, there are excellent conditions for the existence of all kinds of living creatures. This is Lake Empty, located in the Kuznetsk Alatau region. All the reservoirs around are teeming with fish, and there is nothing in the Empty, despite the fact that the lakes are connected by rivers. Researchers have repeatedly tried to populate a strange reservoir with various types of fish, giving preference to the most unpretentious ones, but nothing came of it: the fish did not take root. The empty remains empty. And no one can explain how it arose and why this mysterious reservoir is still devoid of any life.

But the most dangerous body of water on our planet is rightfully considered the Lake of Death, located on the island of Sicily. All its banks and waters are devoid of any vegetation and living creatures, and swimming in it is deadly. Any living creature that gets into this terrible lake instantly dies. As soon as a curious person sticks an arm or leg into the water, he immediately feels a strong burning sensation, after which, pulling back his limb, he watches with horror how the skin becomes covered with blisters and burns. The chemists who analyzed the contents of the lake were quite surprised. The water of the Lake of Death contains sulfuric acid in a fairly large concentration. On this occasion, scientists have put forward several hypotheses, for example, that the lake dissolves some unknown rocks and is enriched with acids due to this. However, studies have confirmed a different version. It turned out that concentrated sulfuric acid is thrown into the Lake of Death by two sources located at its bottom.

In Algeria, near the city of Sidi Bel Abbes, there is a natural lake filled with real ... ink. It is clear that there are no fish or plants in the reservoir, since the ink is poisonous and is suitable only for writing with it. For a long time, people could not understand how a substance so unusual for a reservoir arises, and recently scientists have finally figured out the reason for this phenomenon. One of the rivers flowing into the lake contains a huge amount of dissolved iron salts, and the other contains all kinds of organic compounds, many of which are borrowed from peat bogs located in the river valley. Merging together into the lake basin, the streams interact with each other, and in the course of constantly occurring chemical reactions, ink is formed. Some of the locals consider the black lake to be a devilish idea, while others, on the contrary, try to benefit from it. Therefore, he has half a dozen names. Among the most famous are the Eye of the Devil, the Black Lake and the Inkwell. Well, ink from it is sold in stationery stores not only in Algeria, but also in many other countries.

Muldashev decided on the operation after an expedition to Tibet. According to him, there he touched the secret forces that came to us from the distant past. The Tibetan expedition encountered many unusual phenomena that are hard to believe. Giant mirrors of time, slowing down or speeding up its course. Mysterious caves, where, as they say for thousands of years, the legendary ancestors of mankind, the Atlanteans and Lemurians, are waiting for inspiration. People endowed with a third eye and extraordinary abilities. Muldashev says that in the Himalayas he found lakes with living and dead water. And in the area of ​​the sacred Mount Kailash, he discovered the ancient City of the Gods - the entrance to the mysterious Shambhala, which Nicholas Roerich was looking for.



Many prophets said that when the world ends, great waters will overflow their banks, and that the rivers will turn red like blood. The youth Vyacheslav predicted that at the end of the world the water would turn red, the color would be like that of blood and the smell would be terrible. His predictions are coming true. From 2010 to the present day, water deteriorates, disappears in places, turns red like blood. This process has already begun in many countries of the world: Texas, USA, Antarctica, Australia, Iraq, China, Iran, Russia. What will happen next? What is hidden in the water?


A person uses 400 liters of water per day. The population of Moscow alone consumes liquids three times more than Lake Ladoga can hold - this is 908 cubic meters. km of water every day. Drinking water in urban apartments is 90% from nearby rivers. The journey from the water intake to the tap takes only 24 hours.


Every year in the world one and a half million people die from dirty water. These victims are comparable to the victims of a nuclear bomb explosion... A person is not able to live without water. Water is life. But for the small Siberian town of Verkhnyaya Pyshma, ordinary tap water has become the cause of the largest epidemic of pneumonia in recent times ...


It would seem that there is nothing special in the water. What could be more banal than water? But no such luck! Modern studies made by Russian scientists and their foreign colleagues have made us look at water with different eyes today. And the mystics and the blessed of all stripes rejoiced. And raised your hands to the sky in prayerful ecstasy, and the ice-holes and polynyas were filled with hot bodies, and the containers for “holy water” are now never empty!

So, is everything so simple with plain water?


Since ancient times, mankind has attributed miraculous properties to water, but only in recent years has it begun to be subjected to serious scientific study. Russian and foreign scientists managed to discover the properties of water, the existence of which science has questioned until recently, for example, the information memory of water...


Man has already invented nuclear weapons, the Internet, mobile communications. But the most brilliant scientists of the whole world are powerless before a drop of plain water. Based on the postulates of chemistry and physics, water is a gas. It should become a liquid only at a temperature of seventy-three degrees Celsius below zero. Man has discovered thousands of laws according to which our world is arranged. And only water did not succumb to any scientific explanation.


A program about the study of the properties of water and its connection with humanity. Scientists have proven that even after complete chemical purification, water retains information about all the substances in it and about electromagnetic vibrations. And these vibrations can be beneficial or poisonous for any organism.


The boundless power of nature. Climate change is already changing the face of our planet. The ice on our planet is melting, and that changes everything. The seas will rise, cities may be flooded, millions of people may die. We will inevitably lose everything that is on land. Imagine a world where 6m sea level rise has flooded cities and vanished coastal areas. We're on our way to Greenland, where scientists are investigating whether this nightmare could become a reality.
