Abstract
Piccardi and Capel-Boute have previously indicated a number of physica l parameters which describe the physico-chemical evolution of pure wat er over time, Electrical conductivity is such a parameter. Experiments have been carried out in order to investigate correlations between th e conductivity of pure water and various parameters. Based earlier wor k by Halla and Novotny we used an electrical voltage (5 V) of weak fre quency (3.4 KHz) to ''activate'' water. Results have been positive, th e stimulus producing an increase of 10% in electrical conductivity. A biomass test with this water confirmed the observations of Violet that such water produced an in crease in vegetation. Measurements of the e lectrical conductivity of pure water over time showed that ''external phenomena'' acted upon control water but did not act upon ''activated' ' water. In a third series of experiments, water from the same source was put in two bottles. the first was a screened one and the second wa s a normal one. In this experiment, the influence of variations in ele ctrical atmospheric fields on variations in the electrical conductivit y of pure water was confirmed.
