New exploration tools and techniques for a breakthrough paradigm of
regional groundwater occurrence
Fresh water is undoubtedly our most precious resource aside from
the air we breathe, and the only commodity whose cost has steadily
risen over time. At the same time, our understanding of the
origins, pathways, and recharge mechanisms of the earth's most
valuable "economic" mineral-groundwater-remains in the nineteenth
century. It is ironic that this scientific anachronism is
contributing to a global shortage of available fresh water supplies
while oil, gas, and mineral discoveries have proliferated, vastly
increasing the world's energy, precious metals, and industrial
mineral reserves.
Modern Groundwater Exploration details applications and results of
proven twenty-first- century technologies and geological concepts
adapted from the oil, gas, and mineral exploration industries for
evaluating, developing, and managing previously undiscovered,
massive, sustainable groundwater resources. Unprecedented in both
its scope and authority, this timely book presents:
* A new groundwater paradigm, coined Megawatershed, which
accurately and comprehensively describes the earth's natural
complex groundwater systems
* Innovative exploration, drilling, and testing technologies that
make major new ground-water sources more locatable and
cost-effective to produce than ever before
* Actual case studies in which megawatershed methods have
identified vast quantities of new water and brought new hope to
previously arid and desperately water-short locales
* Chapters by former OECD DAC chairman Alexander R. Love,
geopolitical analyst Dr. Ewan Anderson, and former director of the
Trinidad and Tobago Water Resources Agency Dr. Utam Maharaj on the
tremendous global implications of the megawater-shed paradigm.
These experts explore the many beneficial applications of
megawater-shed development, from macroeconomics to development of
small island developing state (SIDS), and from critical
environmental issues to water conflict resolution and the potential
for a second "green revolution"
The world's need for clean, dependable water is more urgent-and
addressable-than ever before. Let Modern Groundwater Exploration
introduce you to the authors' revolutionary megawatershed paradigm,
along with the latest concepts and technologies for accessing vast
reservoirs of groundwater-still today's safest, cleanest, and most
plentiful water resource.
