Hidden Oceans: Unveiling Mars’ Subsurface Water and Earth’s Deep Seated Aquifers
The quest to discover and utilize hidden water reserves has captivated scientists and engineers alike, both on Earth and beyond. Recent seismic data from NASA’s InSight mission has unveiled a colossal reservoir of liquid water deep beneath Mars’ surface. Simultaneously, companies like AquaterreX are pioneering methods to locate and extract Deep Seated Water (DSW) on…

(This is part 6 of a 6-part series exploring transforming arid areas with water) As global challenges related to water scarcity and food security continue to grow, innovative solutions are required to transform arid and semi-arid regions into productive and thriving landscapes. AquaterreX, with its expertise in locating deep-seated groundwater, has the potential to play…
Read MoreHow Much Land is Arid or Semi-Arid, and What Will It Take to Make It Ready for Agriculture?
(This is part 2 of a 6-part series exploring transforming arid areas with water) In our last blog, we discussed the possibilities of transforming arid and semi-arid areas with the introduction of sufficient water. In this second installment, we’ll dive deeper into the amount of land classified as arid or semi-arid in Australia and the…
Read MoreWith Harvest Season Upon Us, the Mississippi Faces Threats Once Again
Last November, we wrote about drought in the U.S. moving eastward to the Mississippi River US Drought Marches East – Now the Mississippi is Threatened – AquaterreX. Not only has this progression taken place, but now, river levels are reaching unprecedented lows in certain regions due to lack of rain upstream. This alarming situation is…
Read MoreHidden Ocean Beneath Earth’s Crust Goes Mainstream
Scientific Evidence Gains Respect For years, the accepted scientific viewpoint was the idea that nearly all water on Earth came from outer space. Great comets repeatedly struck Earth billions of years ago and that created our oceans and provided virtually all the water on Earth. That was the story. And for us in today’s world,…
Read MoreGroundwater Extraction Alters Earth’s Tilt!
Another Scare – Human Activity Impacts Polar Drift This week, media outlets pumped out another dire warning about climate change. This time, it’s that withdrawal of groundwater for irrigation and human consumption has altered the Earth’s tilt. Over a 17-year period between 1993 and 2010, the extraction of groundwater by humans has caused the Earth’s…
Read MoreMicroplastic Particles in Groundwater? It’s time for an Abundant Alternative Source of Fresh Water
AquaterreX Introduces Breakthrough Water Exploration Technology As if it wasn’t enough to have bacteria, heavy metals, and even pharmaceutical drugs polluting our surface and groundwater, now studies are revealing that microplastic particles less than 5mm in size have “recently become a major environmental issue” according to Environmental Chemistry Letters link. The report states that microplastic…
Read MoreLooming El Niño Weather Pattern Will Have an Effect But It Won’t End Our Water Challenges
You may be somewhat familiar with La Niña and El Niño, the cyclical weather patterns that impact much of the planet. They typically last 9-12 months but can sometimes last for years. We’re just coming out of a three-year La Niña cycle and most weather experts predict El Niño starting this summer. La Nina usually…
Read MoreThe Grand Canyon – What a Tiny Slice of the Road Trip Revealed to Me
My wife and I visited the Grand Canyon in Arizona last week. Truly unique on Planet Earth, the Grand Canyon is an awe-inspiring spectacular vista, revealing the geologic history of that region going back hundreds of millions of years. The mighty Colorado River cut through layers of rock nearly a mile deep for 277 miles.…
Read More50% of US Waterways Are Too Polluted For Drinking, Swimming or Fishing
Yes, our waterways are gravely polluted. An impaired waterway typically means that the water body does not meet water quality standards and is therefore not suitable for activities such as drinking, swimming, and fishing. When a water body is determined to be impaired, it means that levels of pollutants or other contaminants are present that…
