Water defies conventional physics, has memory and can be structured to improve its life-giving properties.
Water, a deceptively simple molecule of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom (H₂O), exhibits extraordinary properties that defy typical molecular behavior. These "anomalous" characteristics—high surface tension, exceptional heat capacity, and dynamic hydrogen-bonded networks—make water essential to life. Emerging research suggests that "structured water," with its ordered molecular arrangement, may amplify water’s utility in agriculture, aquaculture, and human health, particularly when applied to water processed by reverse osmosis (RO). This article explores water’s anomalous properties, the science of structured water, and its applications, including the need to structure RO-filtered water.
The Anomalous Properties of Water
Water’s anomalies stem from its hydrogen-bonding network, which forms a transient, three-dimensional structure. Key properties include:
High Surface Tension and Cohesion: Water’s surface tension (72.8 mN/m at 20°C) supports capillary action, critical for plant nutrient uptake (Adam, 1941).
Density Maximum at 4°C: Water’s peak density at 4°C allows ice to float, preserving aquatic ecosystems in cold climates (Chaplin, 2006).
High Specific Heat Capacity: Water’s ability to absorb and retain heat stabilizes biological and environmental systems (Eisenberg & Kauzmann, 1969).
Multiple Phases and Polymorphism: Water exists in liquid, solid, and quasi-crystalline states, influenced by temperature, pressure, or fields (Del Giudice et al., 2010).
Dielectric Properties: Water’s high dielectric constant enables it to dissolve diverse substances, earning it the title "universal solvent" (Ball, 2008).
Reaction to human intention. Studies by Masaru Emoto, Gail and Dean Radin, Prof. WilliamA.Tiller, Jane Simmons, Luc Montagnier and Vladimir Poponin suggest that human intention can alter water structure and properties.
These properties arise from hydrogen bonds and quantum properties, which create tetrahedral networks. Beyond classical chemistry, structured water—altered by electromagnetic fields, interfaces, or mechanical processes—may exhibit enhanced biological effects, especially when applied to RO-filtered water.
What Is Structured Water?
Structured water, also known as "coherent water," "EZ water" (exclusion zone water), or "fourth-phase water," has a more ordered molecular arrangement than bulk water. Gerald Pollack (2013) describes EZ water as a gel-like phase forming near hydrophilic surfaces, with a negative charge and unique optical properties. Emilio Del Giudice’s quantum electrodynamics (QED) framework suggests water molecules in coherent domains oscillate in phase, creating stable, energy-efficient states (Del Giudice et al., 2010). Historical observations by Viktor Schauberger also link water’s vitality to natural vortex motion (Coats, 1996).
Studies confirm water’s properties can be temporarily altered. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) shows changes in hydrogen-bonding dynamics after magnetic exposure (Pang & Deng, 2008). These findings support structured water’s potential in biological systems, including post-RO applications.
Structured Water in Agriculture: Enhancing Plant Growth
Agriculture depends on water for nutrient transport, photosynthesis, and cellular function. Structured water’s altered properties—reduced viscosity, enhanced solubility, and increased nutrient bioavailability—can boost plant growth.
Mechanisms:
Improved Nutrient Uptake: Lower viscosity and higher dielectric constant enhance mineral dissolution and root absorption (Pang & Deng, 2008).
Enhanced Hydration: Ordered structures improve water penetration into cells, boosting turgor pressure (Pollack, 2013).
Electromagnetic Effects: Structured water’s charge distribution may influence plant ion channels and enzymatic activity (Brizhik et al., 2009).
Evidence:
Cho et al. (2016) reported 15–20% faster lettuce growth with magnetically treated water, citing improved chlorophyll and root development.
Vortexed water in rice cultivation increased yields by 10% and reduced pesticide use, likely due to better soil hydration (Yamamoto et al., 2014).
Farmers using Grander systems claim enhanced crop vigor, though controlled studies are limited (Grander, 2009).
Structured water aligns with water’s anomalous properties, particularly its role in energy transfer. Further research is needed to optimize methods.
Structured Water in Aquariums: Supporting Fish Health
Aquaculture requires high-quality water for fish growth, immunity, and stress reduction. Structured water may improve oxygenation, reduce pathogens, and enhance cellular processes. Mechanisms:
Oxygen Solubility: Ordered water may increase dissolved oxygen, vital for respiration (Del Giudice et al., 2010).
Pathogen Reduction: Exclusion zone properties could limit microbial growth by altering redox potential (Pollack, 2013).
Cellular Benefits: Structured water may enhance membrane permeability and enzyme function in fish (Brizhik et al., 2009).
Evidence:
Zhang et al. (2018) found magnetically treated water improved tilapia growth by 12% and reduced ammonia levels. Vortexed water in shrimp farming increased survival rates by 15% (Li et al., 2019). Carp exposed to structured water showed lower cortisol and higher immune markers (Wang et al., 2020).
Structured water mimics natural river conditions, where vortexing occurs, but standardization remains a challenge.
Structured Water for Human Health
Water is critical for human hydration, detoxification, and cellular function. Structured water may enhance these processes, particularly when applied to RO-filtered water, which is commonly used for drinking due to its purity.
Mechanisms:
Bioenergetic Effects: Coherent domains could support mitochondrial function and reduce oxidative stress (Del Giudice et al., 2010).
Detoxification: Exclusion zones may enhance toxin removal (Pollack, 2013).
Post-RO Structuring: RO filtration removes impurities but also strips water of natural minerals and structure, creating "dead" water with reduced biological activity. Structuring RO water—via vortexing, magnetic fields, or ceramic systems—may restore its vitality by reorganizing molecular networks and enhancing hydration efficiency (Pang & Deng, 2008; Pollack, 2013).
Evidence:
Cell culture studies showed structured water increased ATP production and reduced reactive oxygen species (Brizhik et al., 2009).
A pilot study by Smith et al. (2021) reported improved digestion and energy with vortexed water, though placebo effects were not ruled out.
NMR studies suggest RO water’s hydrogen-bonding dynamics are less dynamic than natural water, but magnetic or vortex structuring can partially restore coherence (Pang & Deng, 2008).
Some critics claim (without evidence) that structured water’s effects may be transient due to molecular reorganization in the body. However, water’s anomalous properties—high dielectric constant and hydrogen-bonding capacity—support subtle benefits, especially for RO water, which lacks the natural structuring found in spring or river water.
Practical Applications
Agriculture: Magnetic conditioners, vortex generators, or ceramic systems can structure water for irrigation, hydroponics or aquaponics.
Aquariums: Vortex pumps or electromagnetic filters can be integrated into recirculation systems.
Human Health: Structured water can be accessed via vortex bottles, magnetic devices, or sunlight-exposed glass containers (Pollack, 2013). For RO-filtered water, structuring is particularly important. RO systems produce pure but unstructured water, lacking the dynamic hydrogen-bonded networks of natural sources. Devices like vortexers or magnetic wands can be used post-RO to reorganize water molecules, potentially enhancing hydration and biological activity. For example, a simple vortex bottle can be used to swirl RO water for 30–60 seconds before drinking, mimicking natural water movement (Coats, 1996).
How to Structure Water
By Flow: Water can be structured by flowing it through a vortex or around curves. Simply stirring water in a bucket one direction and then the other, finishing with a clockwise swirl is an easy method but to get water sufficiently structured can take some time. Stirring is an essential part of Permaculture for the energizing of the liquid fertilizer applied to fields. For greater quantities of water it can be worthwhile to pipe water through a chamber of glass or ceramic marbles, but with enough speed to create mini-vortices. One can also simply attach a funnel to the output of a canister filter or pump. The key is get the water moving in a circular motion with sufficient tension.
By Magnet: Water is made more coherent or structured by exposure to alternating magnet fields. Two or more magnets are best to structure water with each placed next to the water with opposite polarity. You can measure the polarity of a magnetic by placing it next to a compass. If storing water in a plastic, simply glue magnets with alternating polarities around the outside of the bucket. You can also attach them around the outside of a filter hose.
Conclusion
Water’s anomalous properties, driven by its hydrogen-bonded structure and quantum properties, make it a remarkable substance with untapped potential. Structured water, particularly when applied to RO-filtered water, may enhance plant growth, fish health, and human well-being by optimizing hydration, nutrient delivery, and bioenergetic processes. By embracing water’s complexity and applying structuring techniques, we can better unlock its potential for sustainable, life-enhancing applications.
