The Healing Water Institute is an international education and research group with charitable trusts in New Zealand, the United Kingdom and currently being formed in the United States.

Our whole aim is to help water support life better. Water is under great attack from agricultural and industrial pollution and urban mis-use , greatly reducing its ability to support life.

To achieve this we provide education events, we research water and also design technology that helps improve water's condition.

In the 1920s, the Austrian forester, hydraulician, hydrologist and inventor Viktor Schauberger developed an entirely new view of water as the "carrier of all life." As an "ecotechnologist" he also translated his amazing discoveries into fact, and enjoyed European-wide successes in hydraulic engineering, while his inventions for improving water quality created an international sensation. Today, after decades of obscurity, disregard and suppression, his discoveries are receiving the attention they deserve.

Abstract

Vienna, July 1939 (Schauberger Archives) (The Energy Evolution, page 93-94)

In 1933 a proposal was presented to the Alpine-Montan company stating that the ore from iron ore deposits could be delivered to Donawitz, not at the current price of about 3.50 schillings per tonne by rail, but at a cost of about 0.30 schillings per tonne by means of a patented double-spiral-flow pipe (see fig. 16⁵).

At first this proposal was ridiculed, because according to expert opinion either the ore, having a specific weight of 1.9 and therefore heavier than water (= 1.0), would be left lying on the bottom or the pipe-walls would be heavily scoured within a short space of time, and therefore the proposal would not be commercially viable.
