The aim of the Watching series is to draw attention to some of the very interesting items around us; things that perhaps we dont notice as much as we might. The first was Bridge Watching; and when this was put on the Net it produced; to the surprise of the author; such a pleasant flood of e-mail that another was written; called Water Watching. This; too; was kindly received. So it was tempting to continue with the theme. Water watchers enjoy this pleasurable pastime; whatever their educational background; but more knowledge of what to look for will; it is hoped; lead to even more satisfaction. The intention is to encourage interest in looking at water or watery fluids; which are all around us. You dont need any equipment; licences or permits; nor any special qualifications; other than some curiosity; a sense of wonder. The treatment wont be too technical; but hopes to show you how some natural laws control the behaviour and appearance of water. Some knowledge of this can make water so much more fascinating; wherever you see it. There is a great variety of surface water to be seen; waterfalls; streams; rivers; puddles; and lakes; there is rain; snow; hail; frost and dew; as well. The total amount of water on our planet doesnt change. It just goes round and round; in its passage sustaining life in all its forms. Water-watchers can look at it during the different stages of its cyclic tour. So; besides enabling every living thing to exist; water provides free intriguing entertainment; to charm us with its magic. We can all take advantage of it.
