Global warming, overpopulation, and urbanization have taxed water resources across the world. The United Nations declared a global water crisis since estimates suggests that half of the world’s population will face water shortages by 2050.
Currently, 800 million people live in water stress. By 2025, 3 billion people will live under water stress. Advancements in water technology are underway to address the water scarcity problem that could cripple economies, stunt development efforts and lead to an increase in mortality rates across the globe. If the problem of water scarcity is not tackled pragmatically and swiftly, the water shortage could lead to political unrest and food shortages in the developing and industrialized world.
Conceptual breakthroughs in megawatershed development by Earth Water Global (EWG) assert that water can in fact be extracted from stone. Technological innovations developed by Earth Water Global prove that megawatersheds beneath the Earth’s surface exist and can be tapped to provide clean water.
EWG developed a Megawatershed Paradigm (MP) based on geological models of the Earths’ surface. According to the MP, fractures and fissures in the Earth’s bedrock formed as a result of continental shift and collision over time. These collisions of the Earth’s bedrock result in mountain formations and underground channels that store water regionally and transmit the water across miles of terrain.
At high altitudes, water seeps into these fractures and fissures from snow and rainfall. The gravitational force of the Earth pulls the water into underground watersheds. The megawatersheds naturally replenish from precipitation, rainfall and snow. EWG coins this discovery the “science of finding water”.
EWG estimates that 80 percent of the world’s precipitation happens at high altitudes. Measuring water at these high altitudes is incredibly difficult. Water catchments of precipitation, rain and snowfall using the EWG framework could multiply groundwater resources in multiples of 10 times 100 on a global scale.
Innovative techniques implemented by EWG offer a sustainable solution to the global water crisis. The EWG “science of water” model could provide access to hundreds of millions of gallons of water that seep into the Earth surface daily.
Interestingly, modern scientific analysis has proved that extracting water from a stone is indeed possible. Using the groundwater held in the Earth’s fissures will facilitate fulfillment of the 2015 Millennium Development Goals. Certainly, taking advantage of this water technology will decrease the deaths of water-borne diseases in developing countries which are now at 80 percent.
As the world population continues to increase, measures to provide natural resources such as water must be maximized as well. Resolving the global water crisis calls for a multifaceted endeavor from governments, municipalities and water programs, including those such as EWG. Comprehensive methods of combating the water crisis should include scientifically proven paradigms as well as sound methodologies applied across time.
The water crisis is driving scientists and experts to search for water in the world’s most unlikely places even that of the Earth’s stone.
