The Nature of Water

• The original texts of Viktor Schauberger, the pioneer of water research

Hardly a water book that does not quote him: Viktor Schauberger, the legendary water researcher. Though there are many books on Viktor Schauberger, there is not one – except the republished note of caution »Our futile work« – that focuses on his writings. This book fills a gap. Jörg Schauberger, grandson of the water researcher, selected the most important among the vast number of essays, articles, and letters by Viktor Schauberger dating from the first half of the 20th century. Experiences and realisations of the visionary nature observer are thematically arranged. Over many decades he manages to gradually unveil the nature of water. Eloquently he develops a completely new concept of the primal matter and thereby lays the foundation stone of modern water research. Among the highly up-to-date topics features the proposal for an entirely new type of river regulation based on the extensive abolishment of solid embankments, as according to Viktor Schauberger flowing water can be regulated from within, i.e. by influencing the medium itself. Basically it is all about perceiving water as what it really means for man, nature and the entire planet Earth: the source of all life and the basis of existence.
