“BATUR WATER” Human beings originally used rain water and water from streams and rivers to satisfy their needs for drinking water and for irrigation. Later they drew water from underground sources for those purposes. In recent times, it has been possible to irrigate large tracts of land using small amounts of water delivered via pipelines. But to date no one has explored the possibility of collecting and condensing (liquefying) the water vapor that is continually evaporating from the surface of the earth and using it to increase the areas where ligneous and herbaceous plants can be grown. This is because the concept of exploiting water in the atmosphere for the cultivation of forests and the production of substantial amounts of drinking water has been hitherto unknown. Clearly there is an inverse relationship between the world's land which is available for agricultural and the world's population of some six billion which is naturally and rapidly increasing. The same relationship of tension exists between the growing population densities in areas with an abundant source of water and the land available in such areas. Industrial development exists also in tension with ecological balance. Many countries still have fragile ecological systems. In the not too distant future unrelenting development may bring to many countries economic recession and severe ecological imbalance, both of which could result even in famines. If we attain good harvests through genetic plant modification utilizing even small parcels of land, some think we may need genetically modified stomachs to be able to eat this genetically modified grain. If we want to augment the amount of arable land, we must find new sources of water. “Batur Water” can solve this problem. “Batur Water” is water that human beings have hitherto never exploited. It is extracted from the moisture content in the atmosphere above barren mountains, above parched wastelands, rocky terrain, deserts, saline soils, and above the ocean. It is then collected, condensed (liquefied) and converted into fresh water. Since Batur Water is the result of Batur Dani's 28 years of research and experience, for convenience it is being called Batur Water. Rain water, river water resulting from precipitation, groundwater, and other sources of natural water cannot be considered Batur Water.
Batur Water at present can be gathered from the atmosphere in those places where the moisture in the earth is within 250 meters of the earth's surface. This would include the atmosphere above barren mountains, gravelly soil, rocky ground, and barren deserts. It would include as well any other type of area were human habitation is possible, including wasteland and arid regions, and from the atmosphere over the oceans. Areas Benefiting from Batur Water. Anywhere the salt content of the soil is below five percent is considered arable if there is a source of water. On barren mountains, in gravelly soil, and in barren deserts, Batur Water can be used to facilitate the growing and harvesting of tall, straight-trunked trees, shrubs, fruit and non-fruit bearing trees, grains, vegetables, plants, medical herbs and spices, as well as to overcome shortages of water for animal and human sustenance. It could further be used to pressurize oil wells and bring the oil to the surface. The price per cubic meter of Batur Water, if purchased in blocks of three-year periods, would range from 0.3 to 1.0 CNY, depending on the particular regional conditions, atmospheric evaporation rates, seasonal fluctuations, and groundwater levels. Using the Batur Water process, it is possible to obtain between 300 to 4500 liters of salt-free water each 24 hour period from every hectare of unproductive land (or 122 to 1830 liters per acre). To obtain Batur Water it is necessary only to use gravity and the natural evaporation process of the sun without recourse to any man-made power source or electrical energy. If we avail ourselves of Batur Water by taking advantage of the naturally occurring geographical phenomenon of the water evaporation/condensation cycle, we can increase the amount of the world's agricultural land by 60 to 65% -- land that was formerly barren mountain and desert. By this means we can also satisfy the clothing, food, and drinking water needs of more than one billion people, all of which can be achieved without having to tap the world's polar ice regions, the waterways of Asia, Europe, and Africa, or other areas of the world's seven continents. In addition to this it may be possible to reduce the density of regional populations which are centered around present water sources and thereby improve the caliber of each human being.
Capitalizing on Batur Water it would be possible to grow more than one trillion straight-trunked trees and bushes in the world's deserts. If we calculate that every tree, every 24 hours, produces seven kilograms of oxygen, it would be possible to double the current rate of atmospheric replenishment. Economically speaking, it would also be possible to stem the prevailing world financial downturn, and alleviate the current world economic woes (2009). By making use of Batur Water we can produce lush oases in the Arabian Peninsula, in the Teklimakan Desert of Xinjiang, on the African continent, and in other desert regions. It would also be possible to produce uncontaminated grains and fruit products in these areas. In terms of national defense, the problem of the scarcity of potable water in uninhabited mountain areas and deserts could be solved through the use of Batur Water. By using Batur Water throughout China, the clothing, food, and water needs of a total of some 300 million people could be met. If we took the Xinjiang Region alone, this would amount to 15 million people. It would also be possible to produce uncontaminated grain, fruit, and vegetables across the nation. Batur Water is water that human beings have hitherto never exploited. Its source is the moisture content in the atmosphere above barren mountain tops, wastelands, deserts and rocky areas, saline soils, and over the ocean. In such place it is first collected from free, unstable water droplets in the atmosphere, condensed, and then converted into water for human consumption and plant irrigation. Experimentation began in 1980. In 1995 experts from Aqsu County gave confirmation of this theory. In August of 2008 the Batur Water mechanism was completed and stood ready for utilization. Batur Water, its method of collection, the collection device, and the machinery for transforming a desert into an oasis, have already been manufactured.
