Employing a unique business model and a technical paradigm with the potential to fundamentally change the perceived water balance, EarthWater Global uses technologies familiar to the oil and gas industries to locate and develop renewable, previously overlooked groundwater resources. In his book, “Modern Groundwater Exploration”, company President Robert Bisson details a concept of freshwater transmission through and collection in ‘Megawatersheds’: bedrock fractures formed by millennia of plate tectonics activity. Over time, water flowing through these fractures erodes the rock, creating sizeable pathways that may extend from tens to thousands of kilometers. The resources are massive: feasibility studies and case work with organizations including USAID, NASA, USDOE, and OFDA suggest that, if implemented globally, the Megawatershed Paradigm could expand upon known sustainable groundwater resources by 10 to 100 times. Some wonder how the water has been ignored for so long. Conventional hydrology both under-measures precipitation at high-altitude and fails to include crustal permeability in the freshwater balance. As a result, present day estimates of sustainable groundwater capacity are too low.
