In ancient Smyrna, this channel once kept a city alive. Today, it still carries water through the agora, and even the local cats know it. Roman engineering was not built for ruins. It was built to endure.

Around 701 BC, Jerusalem was preparing for the worst siege of its history. The Assyrian army was coming, and the city's only water source, the Gihon Spring, lay outside the walls. King Hezekiah's solution: carve a 533 meter tunnel through solid limestone bedrock, diverting the spring's water to the Pool of Siloam inside the city. The residents would drink. The besiegers outside would find nothing. 2,700 years later, water still flows through it. And you can still walk it today, waist-deep, in the dark.

SPRING WATER > DEAD WATER Most people are drinking dead water! The quality of your water is of the utmost importance to superior health and inner energetic vibrancy! Either tap water from old municipal water pipes with heavy metal build up and other pollution - or water that’s been sitting in a plastic bottle for months. The structure of which means the H2O molecules are clumped together, lowering the efficiency that your cells can absorb the water. You can vortex water to bring these molecules back into a better electrical charge, but natural spring water having bubbled through the Earth is perfectly aligned and structured Additionally, most spring waters contain powerful minerals content in their natural form. You can also bring dead water back to life by adding structured living water to it - such as a squeeze of fresh juice or a little bit of fresh spring water to a larger bottle of dead water. So go to Findaspring . com and take glass bottles to go fill up your spring water today.

This is Teheran this morning - Yes, this morning. Thick black clouds are covering the city - oil and ashes are raining down on the streets. War is hell. A PH test of the water in Teheran also shows that the water has become acidic- resulting from the oil and ashes leaking into the fresh water supply of the city. The corrosion of the cities water and sewage pipes will become a problem for the city; a problem for the generations to come.

There is a bike trail in Belgium where you can go "Cycling Through Water," through a large lake. This bridge is below the water line and in parts it is low enough to put riders at eye level with the lake.

In the first video, people in Donetsk are seen greeting a water tanker. In the second video, during the rain, people try to collect at least a drop of water because the water pipeline from the Siverskyi Donets was destroyed by the Russians. When Donetsk was not occupied by Russia, the city hosted the European Football Championship, as well as concerts by Rihanna and Beyoncé. Now, there is no more running water in the city. According to the schedule, water only appears in taps once every three days, and even then it doesn’t reach every household, so water has to be delivered by tankers, with long queues forming for it. People use plastic bags as toilets, and this filth spreads everywhere. This is happening not only in Donetsk - water is supplied once every two days in a number of other cities, including Mariupol. This is how Russia 'liberated' Donbas. Why is this happening? In the past three and a half years - since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 - reservoirs in Donetsk Oblast have significantly dried up. The water supply system from the Siverskyi Donets River was destroyed. The region’s reservoirs and underground water sources are not enough to meet the needs of the population, in part due to the extensive network of coal mines. When the self-proclaimed “DPR” and “LPR” were created in 2014, Ukraine did not cut off this water channel, as it was still supplying water to Mariupol, which remained under Ukrainian control. But at the start of the Russian invasion in February 2022, the situation changed: the Russian army, during its offensive, destroyed a unique hydraulic structure that had supplied the region’s largest cities with water. The Russian authorities decided to build a new canal - the Don–Donbas canal - which was supposed to begin in the Rostov-on-Don area. It soon became clear that the new water pipeline, first of all, could not provide the region with the necessary amount of water, and second, it was built with numerous violations, with a large portion of the budget embezzled during construction. Crimea is also suffering from a water shortage, and the situation is worsening. One of the reasons why Russia is striving to seize southern Ukraine is that it sees this as a way to "solve the water issue" for the occupied territories.

⛏️ The Tunnel of Eupalinos: A 2,500-Year-Old Engineering Marvel Hidden beneath the island of Samos, Greece, the Tunnel of Eupalinos is one of the most remarkable engineering feats of the ancient world. Stretching 1,036 meters (3,400 feet), this underground passage was carved in the 6th century BCE during the rule of Polycrates. More than a tunnel, it was a lifeline—an ingenious aqueduct that supplied fresh water to the ancient city of Pythagorion. The extraordinary precision of excavating from both ends to meet perfectly in the middle continues to amaze historians and engineers even today.

This Roman pool sat dry for 1,900 years. In August 2025, archaeologists turned the water back on. And they did it through the original Roman supply channel. The same stone conduit that filled this bath in the 2nd century AD filled it again, no modern plumbing required. Stratonikeia, Türkiye. 95 percent original materials. The empire's infrastructure just needed someone to open the valve.

This is Bacalar, a hidden paradise located in southern Quintana Roo, Mexico. It looks exactly like the Maldives, but it's actually a massive fresh-water lagoon surrounded by lush jungle. It's called the Lagoon of Seven Colors because the water shifts into seven different shades of turquoise and blue. One of the coolest things to do here is visit Los Rápidos, where you can hop in the crystal-clear water and let the natural lazy river float you down the channel. You also have to rent a sailboat to check out the Cenote Azul and the Pirate’s Channel, where the water is so shallow it feels like a giant swimming pool. It’s way quieter and cheaper than Tulum or Cancún. Save this video for your Mexico travel bucket list! 🎥 bbacalar | IG

The breathtaking sunken Roman bath where Queen Cleopatra famously swam History is absolutely filled with incredible stories but actually getting to swim through one is a completely different experience. Hidden beautifully away in the stunning Gocek region of modern day Türkiye, lies a breathtaking half sunken Roman ruin known as Hamam Koyu. But what makes this specific spot truly magical is the deeply fascinating local legend tied directly to its ancient stones. According to these ancient stories the magnificent Queen Cleopatra, herself famously visited this exact bay. She reportedly sought out these specific clear waters to swim and bathe believing they held powerful magical healing properties. Today modern travelers can dive into those exact same waters and physically swim through the ancient stone arches perfectly bringing this incredible ancient royal legend to life.

Most people walking the streets of modern Jerusalem have no idea what lies directly beneath their feet. In the City of David, archaeologists have uncovered the Pilgrimage Road, the actual stone-paved street used by hundreds of thousands of Jewish pilgrims to ascend to the Temple Mount during the Second Temple period. Running directly underneath it is one of the largest and best-preserved ancient drainage channels ever found in Jerusalem, a massive sewer system that carried rainwater and waste away from the Temple area. The engineering is astonishing. Massive stone slabs still in place, some weighing several tons. The channel is tall enough for a person to walk through. Artefacts recovered include coins, pottery, and personal items dropped by pilgrims nearly 2,000 years ago. This road and channel give us a direct, physical connection to the world of the Second Temple, the very streets where Jewish pilgrims walked during the time of the Mishnah and the events described in the Gospels. Israel doesn’t just preserve stones. We preserve the living footsteps of our ancestors. Proud every single day. 🇮🇱 #PilgrimageRoad #CityOfDavid #SecondTemple #AncientJerusalem #JewishHeritage

Satya Nadella: Microsoft’s latest Wisconsin AI data center keeps yearly water consumption no higher than that of 1 local restaurant. "The cooling loop is filled once and the data centre can operate effectively with zero water consumption. Daily water usage across a year is roughly equivalent to what a single restaurant would use" The mechanism is mainly about replacing evaporative cooling with closed-loop direct-to-chip liquid cooling, so water moves like coolant inside a sealed machine rather than being boiled off into the air. Hot GB200-class AI racks produce too much heat for normal air cooling, so cold liquid is pushed through pipes into the servers and across metal cold plates touching the hottest chips. The liquid enters the rack cool, absorbs heat from the chips through cold plates, then exits the rack at a higher temperature and carries that heat through pipes to a huge cooling system outside the compute floor. Microsoft says Fairwater sends that hot water to cooling “fins” beside the datacenter, where 172 20-foot fans blow air across the fins and dump the heat into the outside air. The important detail is that the air cools the water through metal surfaces, so the water does not need to evaporate the way many older datacenters use cooling towers. The cooled liquid then returns to the servers, repeats the loop, and keeps absorbing heat from the chips. In older data centers, heat is often removed partly through cooling towers. Hot water meets moving air, some water evaporates, and that phase change carries heat away. Effective, but it consumes fresh water continuously. But Firwater is a closed loop because the same coolant keeps circulating through sealed pipes: it absorbs heat from the chips, releases that heat through radiator-like fins, then flows back to the chips again. For Wisconsin Fairwater, Microsoft says more than 90% of the facility uses closed-loop liquid cooling, while the remaining portion uses outside air and switches to water only on the hottest days. ---- From "Microsoft" YouTube channel, (link in comment)
