Gert Botha from Swakopmund
(Namibia)
A letter from Namibia 
We live in a small town (with only 1500 inhabitants) on the South-west coast of Africa. Swakopmund lies in the middle of the Namib Desert, supposedly one of the oldest deserts in the world. Within a radius of 70 kilometres are three dried-up rivers. In other words, these rivers (the Kuiseb, Swakop and Omaruru) carry water no more than once a year. The rivers sometimes carry no water for a few consecutive years. Their catchment area is a few hundred kilometres away, in Namibia’s central highlands (Khomas Highlands). On its way to the sea the water flows through areas with high mineral content (usually containing copper, lead, zinc, tantalum ore, pewter, tungsten and even salt and gypsum). After the water has passed through these areas it disappears underground through the sand.
The water is pumped out of the prehistoric delta of the Kuiseb and Omaruru rivers and piped to three cities to be used there. Because of its “history” it is very hard and contains many dissolved salts. It therefore has a rather unpleasant flavour and only few people drink it (fortunately we have excellent beer).
Since we introduced Grander Technology a few weeks ago, the “new” characteristic of our water has made us deliriously happy: for the first time hair shampoo actually foams (fantastic!) and hair no longer feels like winter grass, lime scale visibly disappears, and the best thing is, we can drink the water! Even just this fact alone is of great significance, because we all suddenly came to the conclusion that everyone had been suffering from the classic symptoms of dehydration (constipation, dry and smarting eyes, stuffy noses, dry skin, digestive problems, etc.). All of a sudden one can’t drink enough water! On top of that – and this is rather strange – the more one drinks, the more one wants to drink! We had to set up working teams to “treat” the water containers until very late into the night. Half the town was in turmoil. I can assure you on behalf of Swakopmund: we are exceedingly grateful to be able to use this revolutionary technology! |
