Water Resources
Exploration for new water sources is essential for sustainable development
Gamma Exploration’s primary target is water. In times of increasing water scarcity, exploration for water resources has become a key element of sustainable economic development and prevention of water crises. Our geophysical survey methods can make a difference in the water exploration business.
Water – the next Big Thing
Water scarcity is probably the most important pressing issue globally. It is said that water will become more valuable than oil, and that future wars will be fought for water.
Physical water scarcity is a huge and increasing problem in the Middle East and North Africa, Southern Africa, South and Central Asia, half of China and Australia, and the Western part of the US. It measures the ratio of total annual water withdrawals to total available annual renewable supply, accounting for upstream consumptive use.

Economic water scarcity
Economic water stress occurs when the supply of fresh water per inhabitant/year is less than 1700 m3.
Economic water scarcity is reached if the annual fresh water supply falls below 1000 m3 per capita. According to UNO estimates, the number of people forced to live with water scarcity will increase to around 5.4 billion over the next 25 years.
