Water Control

Like no other compound known to man.

Water Finds Its Own Level

As with all other natural compounds, water is ruled by the laws of physics—even though at times it seems to defy these laws. There is no other compound that plays as many different roles as it does –no other compound that is, at once, the source of life and cause of destruction.

Water can exist as an invisible gas – in an evaporated state– or as ice– in a solid state. As a liquid in nature, being pulled by gravity forces its movements – such as in waterfalls and rivers. Pascal’s Principle defines the law as water’s constant way of finding its own level—not resting until it does. Regardless of the shape of the container or the land mass water might be restricted to, water will always find a way to level itself.

“Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad
