A water treatment system is really very simple. It consists of the following components: three containers or cisterns, one for each of the initial stages of black, grey and fresh water; a closed loop ditch system, such as surrounding the house with a moat, in which water may flow; flowing water and oxygen generator plants for purification in the ditch system; a special selection of trees, shrubs, and plants that derive their nutrients from the treatment system; and three more cisterns for storing the resulting treated water for use.

Because of the nature of the treatment needed, water for treatment will remain "in the system" for different lengths of time. Black water, for example, will need to be treated before it enters the moat system. Fresh water may or may not need to enter the system at all depending on its source. Obviously the purity of rain water and that of municipal water systems will be different, and the required treatment to make either one toxin free and potable will vary.

To accommodate all the skeptics and municipal and health authorities, to conduct research that "proves" our point, and monitor the results of the different parts of the treatment system, it will be necessary to install testing stations throughout the system. Reputable water testing companies will be contracted to observe and test our results. The ultimate test, of course, will be in using the water from our own system for our own healthy living.
