WE HAVE PLENTY OF WATER
UNDERSTANDING OUR WATER SOURCES
The Water Resource Division (WRD) of GRI is responsible for all projects related to the development, conservation and availability of clean, safe water sources globally.
WRD focuses on the complete water use cycle - Sourcing, Application & Recycling/Recovery. Much of this is a process development and implementation, applying the best available technologies to generate needed solutions however, WRD is equipped to create and deploy scratch technologies to meet any specific need municipally, agriculturally or industrially.
Presently, WRD and partner organizations are developing a nodal network of laboratories, research, recycling & water production facilities with logistic capacity, throughout North America. Projects are managed by the most directly applicable EDD department for development and partnered with applicable private and government entities for maximum impact on deployment.

ATMOSPHERIC GENERATORS
ATMOSPHERIC GENERATORS
Nearly 25% of the US water supply is provided by a vast array of aquifers in the subsurface and bearing an increasing burden worldwide due to surface water contamination and expanding irrigation systems. The protection and efficient, responsible use of these aquifers is critical to the long-term viability of countless existing communities, cities, and states.

There are over 37,000,000,000,000,000 gallons of water vapor in the air. We can capture this vapor and turn it into drinkable water by the hundreds of gallons daily per home.
BRACKISH WATER
ATMOSPHERIC GENERATORS
BRACKISH WATER
Not fresh water, not seawater, brackish water effectively represents the cross-section between. Too salty for direct agricultural or municipal use, brackish water has largely been overlooked by humans (with some exceptions) as a functional source. However, as technologies have developed, these reserves have become a viable, scalable option for municipal, agricultural or industrial applications. Brackish groundwater reserves are relatively common, even in highly arid environments, offering new opportunities in previously untenable areas.
DESALINATION
DESALINATION
BRACKISH WATER
Desalination in its various forms will play an instrumental role in the stabilization of global water security. Technologies are rapidly advancing with more resourceful processes and applications creating efficiencies previously unknown including the creation of valuable, sustainable commodity materials. New economic advantages are making desalination a far more viable option for both coastal and inland applications. Furthermore, developing desalination technologies have beneficial secondary applications in mitigating contaminated water supplies.

INDUSTRIAL
DESALINATION
INDUSTRIAL
Cumulative industrial operations require only 15% of worldwide water consumption, an area where extraordinary control can be exerted over process supplies and pollution reduction through treatment. Many laws (Western US specifically) require single use pass through, instead of recycling. Mechanically simple, cost-effective, off the shelf solutions often decrease overall process water consumption dramatically
MUNICIPAL
DESALINATION
INDUSTRIAL
Sourcing municipal water supplies are becoming an increasingly contentious venture. GRI provides real-time solutions capable of meeting current needs while developing the technologies for permanent global water security. Efficiencies can provide significant supply but ultimate security will come from a more effective, balanced and watershed friendly overall consumption approach is necessary.
