(E-3) Non-living Water and its Comparison with Living Water
Summary In Jaina way of life the use of filtered/boiled water is essential for Sravaka (householder). This practice is environmental friendly and suitable for healthy life. The present article deals with the different ways to get non-living water (Treated Water).
Apart from it the scientific characteristics of different types of water and their utility for the personal life and environment are also discussed. 1. Non living water: Process to get Non-living Water:
Water obtained from natural water-cycle is normally living water. This living-water can be converted to non-living water by treating it with similar bodies or with dissimilar materials. Following are the 3 methods for doing it. 1.1 Mixing Process
There are various types of water. Each type would contain different minerals in different quantities and ratios. When they are mixed together e.g., water from a well is mixed with water from a pond, the live-water is disabled to remain alive. The internal ecosystem is disturbed and Yonis are choked, whenever one type of water mixes with another type of water at microscopic level. The end product lasts for some time, depending upon the difference in contents and their mutual tolerability. The second method is to mix foreign materials with mechanical rubbing of water body. When foreign particles, above a critical quantity, are mixed thoroughly with living water mass (dhovan), it blocks the hollow, net-like structure of nano-tubes. Its radicals are also converted into molecules. Due to mechanical rubbing and friction, the "yonis” are broken apart.
