The intriguing foreword by Aldous Huxley contemplates Salzman’s evidence and appears open to the possibilities of bountiful water supplies deep within earth. The theory or concept posits that there is ground water and there is new water. Ground water is on and within the surface of the earth. It includes precipitation forming lakes, rivers, aquifers, etc. Salzman believes he can establish the fact that water is not just contained within the known hydro-cycle of precipitation and evaporation. Salzman along with Stephan Reiss and others of the persuasion explain that water is actually being formed within the earth when hydrogen and oxygen are fused to create water. Additionally, it is accessible through fissures in the earth’s crust! And finally, it is an abundant supply of clean fresh water! Whether incorrect, partially true, or mostly true, the benefits of accessible water for deserts and cities would and could be a threat to those who wish to control this vital natural resource. This book came out in the 1960’s and was promptly hidden and repressed. According to Salzman, primary (original, new) water is plentiful in all areas of the world and estimates five times the amount of new water than in all the world’s oceans; and it is not salted. Primary water is independent of surface weather as this new H20 is formed in the earth’s mantle and travels up toward the surface under pressure where it can be accessed in faults or fissures. This material is also available from primary water institute. Includes an author’s bio, detailed dozen-page bibliographic section, and a fourteen page index. 211 pages.
