The water vortex theories seem to have come from
people watching falling water and the coreolis effect which causes it to spin
into a vortex due to the rotation of the earth. Is that
right?

Hi -
A previous post found my "Vibrational Water"
resource list on the National Water Center's web page.
http://www.nationalwatercenter.org/vibrational_water.htm
NWC
is a grass-roots non-profit organization with volunteer staff. NWC
has advocated ecological water treatment, rainwater harvesting, and
water quality issues for over two decades (e.g., composting toilets,
constructed wetlands, flow forms, permaculture, bioregional to
international delivery, etc.) It is located in nearby Eureka Springs, AR,
where I also volunteer my time to support bioregional water issues. NWC
puts on a few workshop each year, publishes, and takes a Zen approach to
web delivery and water themes as an alternative to activist burn-out
typical of the 1970s and 80s era.
The resource list is also on my
farmstead home page, with a format you may find easier to read.

In
the resource list you can access the books by Viktor Schauberger and
Theodore Schwenk, you can see water quality images based on qualitative
assessment techniques -- following energization treatments, etc.
Perhaps that is sufficient. You can explore this topic
yourself. Get the books "Living Water" by Olaf Alexandersson and
"Living Energy" by Callum Coats for a fascinating in-depth review of
Viktor Schauberger's work. John Wilkes, inventor of flow forms, drew
inspiration from Theodore Schwenk's work.
When you add up
all the different concepts and practices with vibrational water, you can
better understand why I suggest there is room for exploration integrating
water quality treatments with compost teas in relation to the
microbial environment in an aqueous solution.
Can you share if
your name is David Loring or Dave Sotilo 50... and what your farming and
gardening involvement is, to get a quick idea what scale and cropping
systems you're working with.

P.S. There is an excellent book on
Goethe, actually a collection of essays exploring his ideas on
nature and phenomenology, with a chapter on John Wilkes and flow
forms.
Chap. 10. Flowforms and the Language of Water by Mark
Riegner & John Wilkes In: Goethe's Way of Science: A Phenomenology
of Nature David Seamon & Arthur Zajonc, Editors Albany, NY: State
University of New York Press, 1998
Excerpt from:
Goethe, Nature,
and Phenomenology (Introduction to Book) By David Seamon http://www.arch.ksu.edu/seamon/book%20chapters/goethe_intro.htm
"In
the last essay of Part II, Mark Riegner and sculptor John Wilkes present
Wilkes' efforts to design what he calls Flowforms -- fountainlike
vessels through which water flows in rhythmic motion. In creating
Flowforms, Wilkes was greatly affected by the Goethean studies of
water done by German hydrologist Theodor Schwenk, who concluded that
the essence of water's movement is found in the tension between the linear
tug of gravity and water's inherent tendency to draw itself into a sphere.
Schwenk demonstrated that water reconciles this tension in three
characteristic ways: the meander, the wave, and the vortex."
"In
his Flowform research, Wilkes asks how these essential patterns of water
can be incorporated in built form so that humanmade channels and vessels
can support and enhance the basic movements of water rather than force
them into unnatural surroundings as, for example, in channelized
rivers with straight banks that interfere with the need of water to
meander. Instead of forcing water to do what we human beings want, why not
help it to maintain its own natural patterns and move the best it can?
Riegner and Wilkes demonstrate that this kind of thinking leads to
designed environments that work better both ecologically and
aesthetically."

about when you say water can be energized, transformed and cleansed by
water movement. I looked at the article you pointed to on water
movement and a catalyst and followed it to the original article which
stated that movement (they used a stirring movement in this case but it
could just as easily have been a plunging motion) was capable of imparting
energy to a straight forward catalytic system involving water and I think
it was Cupric oxide. > > Please break down what you're
