You can't even tell rain and pipe-borne water apart.
Given enough electricity, there are already ways to break water apart.
And once I was in the water, apart from a headache, I was fine, I managed my mile.
When she's feeling despairing, she goes to eddies at the mouth of the river and tries to comb the water apart with her fingers.
It was not always easy to tell fire, air, earth and water apart without a program, and impossible in the case of Strauss's "Four Temperaments Waltz," which was airy and watery (translate: happy and serene) throughout.
Now researchers have found a chemical cocktail that might do the trick.By adding cobalt and phosphates to water and passing a mild current through the solution with a glass electrode, Matthew Kanan and Daniel Nocera of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology MITT) were able to break water apart and force oxygen to bubble to the surface.
After a while, the bushes thinned out and I could see the soft star-lit glimmer of Lake Malawi spread before us like a wide swath of grey silk, so still you'd never have guessed it was water, apart from a faint ripple that wrinkled its surface when the breeze stirred.
The solution initially favoured, and indeed predominant for many years, was that of the simple gravity retaining wall, capable of holding land and water apart, so to speak, through a combination of its own mass with the passive resistance of the ground forming the seabed immediately in front of it.
One of the many demands for water apart from urban, industrial and recreational uses is agriculture.
Nocera's breakthrough was to find cheap catalysts that enable an electrical current to break water apart into oxygen and hydrogen -- the energy-generating step in photosynthesis.
