“990 PROGRAMS BRIEFING FOR 2022 Despite the many unusual challenges presented by a world impacted by dramatic challenges, 2022 was a very productive year for our U.S. headquarters. With each of the environmental challenges we take on, we apply a 6-step process: 1) Identify an important environmental problem; 2) Research it in depth to truly pinpoint its source; 3) Using logic, common sense, and science-based methods, find and/or develop a solution that has no environmental tradeoffs and would work for all involved; 4) Implement the solution or get it into the hands of those who will; 5) Create educational materials and solution models for export, as appropriate; 6) Repeat steps 1 to 5. While each situation has its own set of challenges, by following the steps above, we are able to take on a wide variety of environmental issues with the end goal in mind of restoring ecosystems to enhance the health and future of all life. Our 3 main areas of focus in 2022 were: 1) RESOLVING WATER ISSUES, including clean water supply scarcities caused by severe drought, water contamination, and flawed water management practices that are threatening the health of habitats. Our primary focus, this year, was on the continued advancement of our Deep Seated Water Technology. Deep-seated water is high-quality groundwater that is typically sourced from deep aquifers that are located below the shallow aquifers normally tapped into with water wells. Our Deep Seated Water Technology (DSW Tech) is a systematic method utilizing advanced technologies for locating previously-hidden, near-surface access points to these abundant alternative water resources. In addition to being a highly advanced method of locating deep sources of water, DSW Tech includes additional methods that help to restore healthy habitat. Here are the key milestones our DSW science and tech experts achieved this year: A. We improved technical methods by which regional studies are performed to identify the most likely, near-surface areas for water exploration through several field studies in California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Nevada, United Arab Emirates, and Australia. This work helped landowners and regional governing bodies lower the risk and expense of drilling dry boreholes. B. Massive regions around the world have been undergoing severe drought. Individual landowners as well as regional planners are in desperate need of more effective water management strategies. In 2022, we conducted advanced regional and property studies over a total of 7.7 million acres to identify Deep-Seated Water sources. C. As the average reported success rate for most water well drilling operations is about 40%, our advancements in analysis techniques to enable far more precise well drilling operations is an enormous leap forward for the science of water location and drilling. Our work in 2022 included the continued development and integration of different GIS (Geospatial Information Systems) software programs, creating an ever-improving, advanced, one-of-kind proprietary process for identifying water exploration zones. We continue to formalize these processes into technical checklists to enable the training of others so that this does not become a lost technology. D. Of particular importance to a large region of the U.S. is a water location study we did regarding the largest aquifer in the country - the Ogalala. This enormous underground body of water lies beneath seven States and is being over drawn by the large-scale demand for agricultural production in the region. Without a new solution to the problem, the alarming reduction of this water resource portends a very negative impact on agricultural capacities in the near future. Our study, and the subsequent water well drilled exactly where we directed, showed that, with our technology, significant water resources can be found below the Ogalala that, if tapped into, would allow the Ogalala to recharge (refill) without denying water resources to the vitall”
