The close interre- lationship between water and the forest (as a water producer—not a water consumer) and the problems of soil salinity—how this comes about through over-exposure of the soil to the radiance of the sun by deforestation—are also addressed, and indications are given as to how these may be avoided and overcome, due to Viktor Schauberger’s radical and fundamentally new understanding of the coming into being and functioning of the groundwater table in rela- tion to soil temperature.
