Water: A Boundless Resource We've Been Lied to About
Hydrogeologists shatter the myths around water shortages
The Narrative of Water Being a Limited Resource
Having access to water, not to mention potable water, has become a privilege currently enjoyed by a fraction of the world’s population. UNICEF and the World Health Organization estimate that 2.2 billion people do not have access to clean drinking water. (Source) We are told that water is a finite resource, which we must conserve.
(And yet in many parts of the developed world, our societies are set up so that we urinate and defecate in potable water several times a day.)
Enter stage left: Primary Water.
Several years back, I was listening to an interview with the founder of Tourmaline Spring, a source of pure, living water. For a minute or so of the interview, he made a bold statement that caught my attention: Earth is constantly producing living water, and there is no shortage of it. He credited Pal Pauer of the Primary Water Institute for educating him on the subject.
It wasn’t long before I was on PWI’s website and emailing Pauer, who emigrated to the United States in the 50s, fleeing the Soviet occupation of his home country, Hungary, and went on to become an international expert in hydro-geology, master mason, highly-skilled builder, and real estate investor. He studied under Dr. Stephan Reiss, a hydrologist, geophysicist, and mining engineer who worked to bring the notion of primary water to the public.
You see, I have two wells on my land—one being artesian—and I was curious if said well could be a source of primary (infinite) water. According to Pauer, it’s quite possible that it is, as many artesian wells he’s encountered over the years are. And since one of the State’s most reputable dowsers told me something to the effect of, “You have more water than you or generations to come will ever know what to do with,” I’m suspecting it is. However, Pauer recommended to have the water tested for tritium. The presence of tritium means it would not be a source of primary water, but secondary. (Good news: my well water is free of tritium.)
Primary vs. Secondary Water
In the simplest terms, primary water—also known as magmatic water or juvenile water among hydrogeologists—originates from the Earth’s mantle. Hydrogen (H), an extremely combustible gas (pure energy), that is squeezed up through rock faults and fissures due to high pressure from deep underground. During its journey to the Earth’s surface, it encounters oxygen (O)—required for the combustion—and various minerals and oddly becomes primary water. Primary water is pure, unadulterated water. It’s our “source” water that can be accessed via springs or wells.
Whereas secondary water is atmospheric water: rain, rivers, etc., that cycles around and around. The significant difference is that secondary water is typically loaded with toxic chemicals from air pollution, pesticides, industrial waste, sewage, and more. Pauer has repeatedly emphasized that these toxins do not evaporate; they concentrate in water.
Reiss & Pauer’s Primary Water Wells
Doing their best with limited funds, Reiss and Pauer spent their lives studying primary water and drilling primary water wells all over the globe, most of which can be found in California, Kenya, Tanzania, Mexico, the Philippines, Morocco, Hungary, and beyond.
In the Q & A section of the Primary Water Institute, Pauer answers the following question:
How can we access PW if it is so deep?
“The origins of PW are deep, but because it is under great pressure it moves upwards where possible. If PW confronts a blocking geologic structure it will remain deep. If PW moves up into weak areas of the Earth’s crust, it continues moving upward until it is blocked or finds its way to the surface. These weaker areas are often associated with mountain ranges where faults are common.”
According to Pauer the Earth’s crust is thicker in the valleys and thinner at mountaintops, making primary water easier to access at higher elevations, though it can be accessed in flatter areas in fault zones.
Another valuable question and answer:
What are the benefits of using primary water sources versus using traditional water sources?
“Primary Water is constantly being manufactured within the Earth so is a virtual endless source of water. Its use does not normally affect ground water levels. Hydrologic water, on the other hand, is finite and fluctuates in relation to available rain and/or snowmelt. PW is also of high quality, unless it comes in contact with contaminants as it rises toward the surface.”
Renewable Resource
Learning about Primary Water was one of the key moments in life that led me to ask the question:
What else that we hold true about Earth and its resources is a lie?
With free energy (Nikola Tesla), plentiful (and potable) water (primary water), and sound money (asset-backed), people become liberated from a significant amount of governmental and institutional control that has been imposed on them for well over a century. The opportunities are boundless. After all, there is far less money to be made from a population that is healthy and has a sense of abundance than one that is ridden with fear, holds a scarcity mentality, and is made to feel guilty for its mere existence.
While I’m certainly no expert, I believe this subject deserves much more attention than it’s received over the years, especially since large corporations and tyrannical governments (including the US!) likely will not show interest in promoting and supporting primary water. (Just imagine what farmers and potential farmers could do if they each had primary water wells!) Health and freedom-promoting, I suspect primary water will become the way of the future, if not on a large scale, in smaller communities and towns.
In addition to reading through the Q & A on the PWI’s website, I encourage you to watch this interview Pal Pauer did with Max Steel:
When Pal Pauer passed on in 2022, the world lost another great.
This article makes for a fantastic segue into my next piece about the Asian farmer and homesteader I was planning to write about last August before I got injured. Stay tuned: that article should be ready for you by the end of the month or early February.

Extraordinary. Thank you, JM! I’ve shared this with my weekly Monday group of 12 people. We met taking a global course (Pachamama Alliance) during the pandemic and have been meeting every week since (3 years!). Water is always a topic of good discussion. And, yes, everyone believes it’s scarce!
This is fascinating stuff. As our civilization continues to unravel crisis by crisis, we need to start learning how to live off the land. Being able to turn desert land into crop land would be a tremendous start.
