Water Links

If you have a more general interest in water, visit the Water Science for Schools web site at the U.S. Geological Survey.

Here is an external 'Frequently asked questions" site. 'Water - The Marvellous Molecule' is a BBC radio program series available on the Web. Interesting and useful molecular models of water may be bought from 3D Molecular Designs.

An interesting Water in Biology blog has been started by Philip Ball.

Here are another phase diagram of ice, further structural data on the phases of ice and a solid site concerned with 'unfreezable' water and one concerned with superheated water.

Do you want to see individual water molecules as they move using a scanning tunneling microscope?

Here are sites concerned with hydrogen, oxygen and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) plus an interesting paper on H₂O₃.

If you are interested in snow crystals then this site gives a lot of detail.

However if bubbles or fountains (a fascinating sales site) interest you then there is plenty at these sites.

Here are three (water cluster 1, water cluster 2, water cluster 3) databases (using different methodologies) and a protonated water cluster database, and an examination of the water dimer.

Sweet Briar College provides class notes on water (H₂O - The Mystery, Art & Science of Water) concerning the nature, properties, place, significance, importance, and role of water in Earth's life and culture.

Related to the structuring in water, there are interesting sites concerned with tetrahedral aluminosilicates and giant metal-oxide keplerates.

For information concerning bottled water, visit the International Bottled Water Association or The World of Fine Waters and for drinking water, contaminants and treatment methods visit Randy Johnson's Drinking Water Resources site.

For water resource information visit the Natural Resources Defense Council, Environment Canada or the Best of the Web site. Nature has information on the global water crisis. The 2003 International Year of FreshWater site is still operating and has many educational activities. For information about the UK water industry and the companies operating within it, visit this site.

Many properties of water and steam can be calculated on Valery Ochkov's page; also those of seawater. The International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam has reports concerning the properties of water. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Web book has an entry for water.

The excellent and comprehensive solid geometry of icosahedra site has been re-opened and is well worth a visit.

Magnetic and catalytic water treatments and sales of clustered/declustered water are debunked at H2O Dot Con and at Water Cluster Quackery. Papers on ionized water are presented here.

Visit here if you need to measure water vapor flux density with great sensitivity and accuracy.

If you are looking for more information concerning the polysaccharide hydrocolloids and commercial sources. Also, here is a sales site for gum arabic with useful information.

Here is the extensive Sheffield Chemdex links site for chemists and Liverpool's Links for Chemists and here a glossary of molecular modeling. This site gives the fundamental physical constants, useful conversion between energy units and atomic units (a.u). Here is Tapson's dictionary of units of measurement and Rowlett's Dictionary of Units. This paper describes the International System of Units (SI). eMolecules is a free chemical search engine.

The IUPAC compendium of chemical terminology (The Gold book) is a (free) highly recommended interactive nomenclature reference for the chemical sciences.

Here are some generally useful sites: Protein Data Bank; Molecular nomenclature; Molecular indexing guide; Center for Biological Sequence Analysis data sets; (WebElements) Periodic Table, Visual Elements (a visually stunning periodic table) and Journal of Chemical Education's periodic table.

The Third Annual Conference on the Physics, Chemistry and Biology of Water was held at Mt. Snow Resort, Vermont, October 22-25, 2008. A relevant Gordon Research Conference is Water & Aqueous Solutions. An International Workshop on Molecular Structure and Dynamics of Interfacial Water was held in Shanghai, December 14-18, 2007 with a strong list of speakers. The Faraday Discussion 141: Water - From Interfaces to the Bulk was held in Edinburgh, in August 2008.

A new journal has been launched on-line 'WATER: A Multidisciplinary Research Journal'.

This site has further information on health aspects of electromagnetic fields.

For much information concerning Cold Fusion go to the Low Energy Nuclear Reactions site featuring more than 500 original papers.

Interesting You-Tube links: Amazing floating water bridge (Explanation, [1361 ].); Waves in a large free sphere of water; Burning water; Supersaturated solution. Also, a video of splashing is available.

For water-related art see:

For light relief there are quotes on water (more quotes) and sites on dihydrogen monoxide and dehydrated water.

The molecular modeling was achieved using the HyperChem molecular modeling package. There are more details of the Chime plug-in available.
