Finding Groundwater Before Drilling: The Science Behind AquaterreX Phase I Analysis
How multiple layers of geoscientific data can reduce the uncertainty and cost of groundwater exploration Drilling a water well has always involved uncertainty. Even in regions known to contain significant groundwater resources, conditions underground can change considerably over relatively short distances. One well may produce substantial quantities of water while another nearby well may produce…
Read MoreGiant Springs: Montana’s Hidden Ocean Beneath Our Feet
What One of America’s Largest Springs Reveals About Earth’s Vast Groundwater Resources Every day, 156 million gallons of crystal-clear Giant Springs groundwater emerge naturally in Great Falls, Montana. Not from a river. Not from a reservoir. Not from a dam. It rises from deep beneath the Earth’s surface—twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week,…
Read MoreCreating a Virtual Water Well Before Drilling Can Save Tens of Thousands of Dollars
Advanced Technology Can Pinpoint Water Well Locations and Yields For thousands of years drilling water wells has been like gambling your money in a casino. Will you get lucky and find water? Or will you lose your investment and get a “dry hole” or low flow well? Unfortunately, this scenario is all too common even…
Read More“I’ve Drilled 12 Dry Holes, and I’m Done With It.”
The real cost of drilling without enough certainty A Texas landowner recently said something to one of our AquaterreX representatives that stopped us in our tracks: “I’ve drilled 12 dry holes, and I’m done with it.” He had already invested in one drilling attempt after another, only to come up dry each time. But the…
Read MoreA ‘Super El Niño’ Is Coming—But Will It Actually Solve the Water Crisis?
As news spreads about a potential “Super El Niño”—a rare and powerful weather event that has only been recorded a handful of times—there’s growing optimism that long-awaited rains could finally bring relief to drought-stricken regions. But history—and real-world results—show a different story. While El Niño can dramatically shift weather patterns, it doesn’t guarantee reliable water…
Read MoreGroundwater as a Long-Term Asset in Agriculture
By James D’Arezzo, President, AquaterreX Groundwater plays a critical role in agricultural productivity, land value, and long-term resilience, particularly in water-constrained regions. This article examines groundwater as a form of natural capital and explores how asset-based management strategies can improve farm economics, drought resilience, and long-term sustainability. Framing groundwater as a long-term asset in agriculture,…
Read MoreWater Cost vs. Water Value in Agriculture: Why the Distinction Matters
By James D’Arezzo, President, AquaterreX Every farmer and rancher already understands this at a gut level: not all water is created equal. Two fields may use the same amount of irrigation water, yet one consistently works economically year after year while the other barely breaks even. The difference isn’t just what it costs to pump…
Read MoreStop Throwing Money Down a Water Well “Dry Hole”
AQUATERREX PRECISELY LOCATES GROUNDWATER. GUARANTEED. Today, farmers, ranchers, governments, and industry are facing growing challenges to locate and access water. The lack of usable water is a global problem that ignores state and country boundaries. What makes matters worse is when huge amounts of money are spent to end up with nothing. “I can’t begin…
Read MoreBreakthrough Technology Is Uncovering Hidden Groundwater Across the Southwest
AquaterreX Locates Vital Water Resources in the Parched Southwestern U.S. Across the sunbaked plains of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and even into Kansas, a quiet revolution is underway beneath the surface. As traditional aquifers run dry and wells struggle to meet demand, AquaterreX scientists are using cutting-edge technology to uncover new, untapped sources of…
Read MoreFrom Dry Taps to Protest Marches: What the Johannesburg Water Crisis Teaches Us
In Johannesburg, South Africa, residents have recently taken to the streets over something most of us take for granted: running water. For weeks, taps in many neighborhoods ran dry, forcing people to line up at water trucks, buy bottled water they could barely afford, or go without altogether. The frustration boiled over into protest marches,…
