The omnipresence of water

Water is the one chemical essential to all life on this planet; it is the essence of life.  Water preceeded life (In the beginning God created the heavans and the earth.  Now the eath was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters, Gen11-2, NIV).  An amazing relationship was then set in motion between water that was first and the light that was second that would literally bathe the earth with life-giving water, in three very useful forms - gas, liquid or solid.  The earth's rotation relative to the sun makes this planet perfectly suited to evaporate water, and redistribute it in a never-ending cycle that is patterned to consistently supports life, and most importantly, the growth of the human race.  But humans of the modern era are taking this valuable gift for granted, and the danger signs of the lack of human stewardship for water are everywhere.

Obviously, water can't be taken for granted; it satisfied one of the universial human needs.   The air we breathe is most essential, because few humans couldn survive more than a few minutes without air, but water is a close second.  Most people couldn't live beyond several days without a drink.  Water is needed constantly for basic human functioning and survival.  The plants that humans grow to eat, and livestock need water in pretty much the same routine.  For current human survival systems to function properly, this earth simply needs consistent supplies of usable water;  which is not what is happening.  Humans are doing just about anything imaginable to pollute and corrupt the pure process God set in motion.

Even in America, the damage we have done to our surface water and aquafers makes water purification a complex and chemical-laden process (I can taste the chlorine in the Indiana tap water I'm drinking right now).   Perhaps America, as well as the rest of the world, is setting itself up for some really catastrophic epidemic to be spread through the the world's putrid water.

One solution we are working on at Nascent is better micro-recycling of water.  We believe much of modern society's water recycling and reusing water can be brought under the control of more of the individual home-owner.  Our approach reverses the traditional thinking geared towards biggger sewage and water treatment plants, and turns it toward a focus on smaller systems; ones that serve single-homes and smaller societal units.  We are working on products to target such markets; and will use the cabin at 207 Olean Road as a demonstration  facility to showcase the practicality of new concepts and prototypes.  Please follow along as we pursue this lofty goal
