Is Non-Buoyant Water Deadly?

Non-buoyant water, also known as "dead water," is a rare phenomenon that occurs when the surface tension of water is so high that objects placed on it do not float but sink immediately. This extreme surface tension can be caused by the presence of high concentrations of dissolved solids, such as salt or sugar.

While non-buoyant water can be harmful to small creatures that cannot swim, it is not inherently deadly to humans. However, drowning can occur if a person falls into non-buoyant water and is unable to keep their head above the surface. The high surface tension makes it difficult to swim or stay afloat, as the water's resistance to being broken through is far greater than in normal water.

Additionally, non-buoyant water can be hazardous to boats and ships. The increased surface tension can make it more difficult for vessels to move through the water, resulting in slower speeds and reduced maneuverability. In severe cases, non-buoyant water can cause boats to capsize or sink.

Overall, while non-buoyant water can be dangerous in certain circumstances, it is not inherently deadly to humans. However, it is important to be aware of the potential hazards and to take precautions when encountering non-buoyant water.
