EarthWater Global Solutions

EarthWater Global locates, develops and manages previously overlooked, large-scale, sustainable groundwater resources. EarthWater's President, Robert Bisson, has developed and demonstrated a revolutionary concept of how fresh water is transmitted through tectonic fractures in bedrock and stored in "Megawatersheds".

Megawatersheds are naturally recharged groundwater systems that are strongly controlled by fault and bedrock fracture zones; these zones may extend from tens to thousands of square kilometers.

The Megawatershed Paradigm expands upon current estimates of accessible, sustainable groundwater resources by a multiple of 10 to 100x globally.

EarthWater Global draws on data generated from a variety of technologies, developed for and used by the oil and gas industry, to locate and develop these vast groundwater resources on a low-cost, sustainable basis.

Global Water Shortage: Since 1950 the world population has doubled and water use has tripled. The extrapolation of these two trends illustrates the magnitude of the future demand for water. Water is an essential element not only for the health of any nation but also for economic development. Only 20% of the world population enjoys access to running water and over one billion people in developing countries lack adequate access to water.

EarthWater Solution: EarthWater Global has been created to help countries solve their fresh water shortages. EarthWater locates, develops and manages previously overlooked Megawatershed resources on a zero-risk, fully-financed basis (without ever taking ownership of land or groundwater).

Dr. Jeffrey Sachs Quote: Securing water for a growing world will require the best of science, ecology, economics, ethics and international cooperation. (A champion of sustainable development, Dr. Sachs is Director of the United Nations Millenium Project.)
