LEARNING FROM THE SOURCE
He learned that water swirling over rocks in a tree-shaded natural setting
carries a vitality which is real as an electric current carried by wires. And
minerals carried along on that vitalized inward-curling water enrich the
trees whose rootlets seek the mud. Trees and water, water and trees. Each
needs to have the other growing in a natural state.
The young forest warden once hiked up a mountain with some hunters,
old men who were familiar with the area. High on the mountain they
found a heap of rocks which had been part of a stone hut which had arched
over a mountain spring for as long as anyone could remember. Hikers traditionally
would duck into the cool interior of the hut and ladle a drink of
refreshing water. Now, however, someone had dismantled the hut and
exposed the spring to sunlight. To the surprise of the old hunters who
came there seasonally, the now exposed water shrank back into the earth;
the spring dried up for the first time, and it stayed dry. After months and
much head-scratching, they decided to rebuild the stone hut. Eventually
the spring returned and continued to flow, season after season.
Incidents such as this taught Schauberger that water needs to be cool—
about 4°C [celsius]—even as it bubbles out of the ground. Without a shaded
exit, he found, water will not "grow" to a great height underground and
emerge as the mountaintop spring. As well as temperature, time spent
maturing in underground rocks provides minerals which help make water
sparkle with energy.
Schauberger noticed beautiful vegetation growing around natural springs
—an indication of "mature" mineralized energetically-charged water.
These concepts, of water having qualities such as strength and maturity,
were not found in any textbooks or lecture notes. The brash forester later
told hydrologists to abandon their microscopes and testing laboratories,
and instead study water holistically in its environment. He found natural
watercourses to be alive with inherent intelligence, and not to be mere
movements of a chemical substance.
Another mystery which fascinated him was the sight of large trout and
salmon lying nearly motionless in a stream while facing into a swift current.
When the forester moved and startled the fish, they darted upstream
headlong into the rushing current. Why didn't they go with the obvious
flow and escape downstream Was there some invisible channel of energy
running opposite to the current
He decided to experiment on a sizable stream with rapids where a large
trout often lay. Schauberger sent his woodsmen 500 metres upstream to
build a bonfire. He instructed them to heat about a hundred litres of water
and pour it in the stream on signal. This infusion of warm in water made no
noticeable difference in the overall temperature of the stream. But the
