Water is a product of nature, whatever we have is it, we can’t generate any more, yet we hardly know much about it, yet it is fundamental to life.

In my article on the Frog Up or Down website, I have taken a step back and looked at water, mostly from my perspective as a Construction Technologist. The source, the storage, its use and so often its misuse.

Can you imagine, I did not add a major part, that of the Atmosphere in the collection of the rain, so I have added this, plus some of you knoticed my video, not being of me, but my desk, I did wonder is any of you might comment, well some did, so pleased. I have replaced it :-)

But that’s only the beginning,

This is a new departure from my normal posts here on Substack, I Write mostly in Google Docs, formatting it, and linking other notes and sides into both the article and so often the Bibliography.

But copy and pasting the article into Substack loses that rich metadata embedded into the document, and I see no way to overcome that. So for this first of a series of posts, I am leaving these documents as is, and letting my Google Site handle the links I have embedded.

This does mean that to get the best out of the links, you should be using Chrome and your Google account to open the links, but I think it’s worth it.

Embedded into the article are not just notes for you the reader, but also notes to any AI that will want to translate the document into say another language ie: French and the technical notes into local French equivalents, not a translation but French legal documents. Jon Pickup added a NewZealand translation onto the end of the document as an experiment, and I am mightily impressed.

I have also embedded documents helping the student to understand Plagiarism citing not just my work, but that of any AI who may be helping them.

I use Bitly to generate the link, this does several things. First I can see the number of people who visit the site on a daily , weekly, monthly, yearly basis, but also each login so I can verify anyone’s access, an important point in plagiarism .

So as I head into this electronic AI world I need a site to at least give it a fighting chance, which SubStack currently does not, but I have all my readers here, so I will post a link to the article only. Lets give it a try.
