In previous studies [1] it was shown that liquid water has a very complex structure. Using optical methods,  acoustic emission and by thermal analysis of the water supramolecular complexes sized from 1 to 100 μm (micrometre) were found in “continuous“ aqueous systems. Basing on the characteristic properties of these supramolecular formations we have named them “emulons”. Sizes and spatial organization of supramolecular complexes depend on the composition of aqueous solutions, temperature and prehistory of the water. Size specters of emulons reveal five fractions with characteristic sizes:1-3 μm,10-12 μm,30-35 μm,  70 μm è100 μm. As it can be seen organization and distribution of supramolecular complexes - emulons, their appearance in    “continuous” water depends on chemical composition of aqueous solution and thetemperature.

Effect of the temperature on the water structure is presented on figure 1. At 4°Ñ emulons are densely packed and form a texture similar to parquet. As we know, water at this temperature has maximum density. After increasing of water temperature to 20°Ñ its structure is drastically changing – number of free emulons reaches it maximum. After that during further increase of temperature they gradually dissipate, their number decreases and this process usually ends at 75-80°Ñ. This fact explains many abnormalities of water, also the highest speed of sound in water at 75°Ñ.

This means, that acoustic emission method (AE) is a very powerful experimental method for investigate of the  water structurs, during any kind of chemical reactions and physical-chemical processes. In our experiments we have used modern acoustic emission system ALine32.   Acoustic emission during dissolution process of different salts in the water  show in the  taible

      As we can see from the table , number of impulses, AE activity, duration and time of signal amplitude increase are very different for dissolution of various salts  metals in the water.                                                                                                Complex organization of water structure as a unite ensemble, that includes supramolecular complexes - emulons, result in the fact that properties of aqueous system are not simply the sum of properties of its different structural elements, but are explained by cooperation phenomenon . The polydisperse structure of the emulons formed  of the water, ensuring polymodalnost reply by the external  affects, appearance hysteresis, considderable times relaxation.  Since the water, in  at many cases is a primary target for faint exercise influence on the biology systems, it is posssible the structure of water  modification in the time investigation pay attention very much.

The using optical method and  acoustic emission method for the water structure analysis are suggested. Sizes      and spatial organization of emulons depend on the composition of aqueous solutions, temperature and prehistory of the water. The polydisperse structure of the water, ensuring polymodalnost reply by the external  affecns.
