Abstract
Based on published research on modifying the structure of water and water-containing systems, we assess external influence methods: temperature, magnetic field, light radiation, and their combination. We evaluate changes in the electrophysical, photo- and pH-metric biological, therapeutic, and other properties of water systems using non-destructive electrophysical research methods, i.e., thermometry, pH, laser interference, dynamic light scattering, microelectrophoresis, conductivity, surface tension, dielectric constant, polarimetric measurements, atomic force microscopy, and UV and EPR spectroscopy. The effects of temperature or magnetic field lead to a change in the content and size of water clusters, and physicochemical, biological, therapeutic, and other changes in the properties of water and water-containing systems. The combined effect of a magnetic field and curative mud and the impact of magnetised mineral water have a more pronounced therapeutic effect than only mineral water or curative mud. The data presented indirectly indicate structural changes in water and water-containing systems. We conclude that the primary mechanism of action of a magnetic field, light, or a combination of these factors on water and water-containing systems, including mineral water and therapeutic mud, is a change in the structure of water.

One of the most critical factors affecting a population’s health is sufficient quantity and quality of drinking water
Since the body is two-thirds water, the intake of the magnetised mineral water “Karachinskaya”, which is more structured than the non-magnetised mineral water “Karachinskaya”, is likely to have a more pronounced positive effect on animals and humans
Interesting results were obtained when studying the effect of a magnetic field on the enzymatic activity of therapeutic mud [52]
Summary
One of the most critical factors affecting a population’s health is sufficient quantity and quality of drinking water. The large number of people suffering from varying degrees of water scarcity (today, about 1.1 billion) has forced the world community to recognise the expansion of access to drinking water as one of four key components [1]. The profession knows that along with hydrological studies, studies of available sources of drinking water, determination of their quantitative parameters, and the search for new sources of drinking water, it is necessary to assess its quality constantly. According to the established global practice, water suitability for drinking is assessed according to four criteria: epidemiological, organoleptic, sanitary-toxicological and radiation [2]. More and more data have been accumulating in recent years, indicating another criterion not yet considered: the structuredness of drinking and mineral water. Experimental and clinical studies have shown that the degree of structuredness of
