Exploring Water Resources in Colorado with AquaterreX: A Scientific Approach

In the Field with AquaterreX: Exploring Water Resources in Colorado

Discovering new groundwater sources has evolved into a science rather than an art. While practices like dowsing and water divination have existed for millennia, they have proven inconsistent. Today, with advanced technology AquaterreX can pinpoint water sources with near-100% accuracy, even in areas “Where Others Say There Is None”.

Recently, in Colorado, our team was in the field following up on geological analyses and proprietary algorithms that processed huge amounts of data to locate “Areas of Interest” where Deep Seated Water is likely to be found. The team travelled to a 550-acre ranch in need of water. Using patented seismic and other surveying equipment, the team located multiple sites for drilling wells.

Locating sustainable freshwater sources with scientific accuracy that can determine depth to water, estimated flow rates, and thickness of the aquifer source will be a game-changer especially for those regions in need. A staggering 36 countries are classified as under extreme drought stress affecting two billion people. Over four billion people depend on shallow groundwater for drinking and food production. And, in recent decades this shallow groundwater has become more and more polluted.

The Challenge of Water Availability

Contrary to conventional belief, Earth boasts abundant freshwater resources. Through innovative technologies and proficient management practices, it is feasible to address the planet’s water needs sustainably. According to the US National Groundwater Association, there exists a 6,000-year supply of freshwater within the upper two kilometers of the Earth’s crust (Nature Geoscience article). AquaterreX has harnessed the capability to locate and extract these previously untapped water resources economically, as demonstrated by our successful water location endeavors in Colorado.

Deep Seated Water: An Alternative and Clean Source

Deep Seated Water (DSW), is groundwater, typically sourced from deep aquifers that are located lower than shallow aquifers. Such deep aquifers are supplied not only from local catchment basins but also by subsurface inflows across basin boundaries. Deep Seated Water also encompasses water created at the mantle level of the Earth under extreme heat and pressure. Contamination does not occur in these deep water aquifers as modern pollution has not reached these deeper levels. And the best news is that this water is accessible and plentiful.

The Missing Piece: Deep Seated Water

Deep Seated Water is the Missing Piece that can solve the water crisis puzzle – contamination, drought, scarcity. Many water strategies focus on conservation, rather than additional supply. Other solutions such as desalination and wastewater treatment are potential answers for some, but they also come with trade-offs such as high cost, high energy usage, long planning periods, and toxic waste. Deep Seated Water is located almost everywhere on the planet, including Colorado as we saw, and it can be added to the mix of solutions as a supplemental freshwater source that is not subject to contamination, is fast and easy to implement and is economical and scalable. And, tapping Deep Seated Water allows both surface water and shallow aquifer sources to recharge, making the total system more environmentally sustainable.

Enter Science and Innovation in the 21st Century

The pursuit of groundwater has transitioned from a gamble to a precise scientific endeavor. By amalgamating geological and hydrological data sets, satellite imagery, and underground survey instruments, a company like AquaterreX can accurately pinpoint groundwater attributes, including depth, flow rate, and salinity. Employing 3D modeling, precise well locations can be determined with near-100% accuracy.

Forging a Sustainable Water Future

The ability to accurately locate and tap into Deep Seated Water, as demonstrated in Colorado, underscores the potential to revolutionize our approach to water sustainability on a global scale. By embracing advanced technologies and data-driven methodologies, we can secure vital water resources, mitigate the impacts of contamination and scarcity, and provide a brighter future for regions facing critical water challenges.

About AquaterreX

AquaterreX (www.AquaterreX.com) is a global environmental services organization with a mission to broadly implement effective water and food security solutions. The name AquaterreX comes from the Latin, aqua (water) and French, terre (earth, land) which is a derivative of the Latin, terra, and “X” for exploration. Thus, AquaterreX encompasses water and land solutions for the planet.
