What is it?

EarthWater Global's premise is simple: to provide a cost-effective solution to current and future water shortages by exploiting previously undiscovered groundwater resources. At the core of the company's business proposition is the "leaky crust" paradigm, which draws on plate tectonics and associated large-scale permeability to enable previously untapped groundwater resources to be abstracted from so-called "megawatersheds".

Who is responsible?

More than 30 years of field exploration and development have resulted in production well drilling and long-term pumping at a number of sites. In Trinidad, for example, 48 MGD (181,680m3/d) of untapped groundwater has been recovered where none had previously been detected.

EarthWater Global combines private equity, technological and business innovations to discover, develop and deliver affordable, sustainable and renewable fresh water, representing the next generation of megawatershed development. The company fully finances turnkey production & supply projects, offering short delivery timescales, a low environmental impact and very low energy requirements.

By thinking outside the box, EarthWater Global has come up with a business proposition which could change the future of water development worldwide.
