Watt-Ahh is similar to the Original Water on Earth, billions of years ago. The rain water was pure and active from many lightning storms. The water electrically-transported micro nutrients in the soil to support growth of floating algal mats including single-celled Chlorella (green algae) and diatoms. Dinosaurs feasted on the algae and the bioavailability of …
