| Desc | OUR WATER CAMPAIGN:The Earth Organization continued to make advancements in our clean water campaign. In 2020, we provided scientific findings to help bring water security to appx 4,000 square miles of land. We continued our research, documentation and codification of our advanced technology for locating and drilling for groundwater significantly deeper than shallow aquifers. We have advanced these capabilities beyond anything previously documented. Accomplishments:In Southern Australia, while wildfires raged across the county, our team flew to the town of Stanthrope, Queensland to conduct detailed field assessments and water well sitings for the town and 8 severely drought-distressed and failing farms. We also completed a major geohydrology study for a large, drought-stressed sheep and cattle ranch, identifying 25 potential water well. Additionally, advance regional mapping was produced and provided for the water planners of Port Lincoln, South Australia to improve their water security planning. The Earth Organization held several technical conferences in order to help supplement water resource needs in highly arid Middle Eastern countries. Extensive science research and preparations for well drilling have been underway.Preliminary research was conducted in the severely drought-stricken Southwestern United States. In order to help provide water security in extreme drought plagued areas such as Texas and New Mexico, The Earth Organization launched an in-depth analysis and exploration to identify highly likely locations for finding water. The Earth Organization provided a comprehensive geology and prospective water resources study for a non-profit Mutual Water Company in Southern California. A high degree of arsenic in the shallow groundwater has been a consistent challenge in providing potable water to the local community. Special sensor equipment was brought in to conduct ground surveys that identified precise fresh-water, low-arsenic, bore site locations. Advancements and Scientific Accomplishments:In 2020, we developed sophisticated mapping techniques to increase visibility into precise, deep-seated water locations.A study was completed on Ground Water Sustainability and Well Management Best Practices.The Earth Organization evaluated three types of geophysical instruments to be able to verify satellite mapping water location results with on-site evaluations and codified that information.The Earth Organization researched and evaluated the use of drone magnetometry and gravitometer instruments for use in providing advanced water location analysis for future use with communities in severe need. The Earth Organizations Chief Geologist designed an R&D program including developing numerous protocols for measuring and documenting the quality and characteristics of water. FOOD SECURITY SOLUTIONS:In 2020, The Earth Organization advanced its Research and Development of turn-key, nature-friendly, water and food production systems. The goal is to reverse environmental damage created by conventional agricultural practices using toxic chemicals, our science team continued researching and developing a food security program with the aim of codifying an integrated system of environmental technologies to help farmers achieve truly sustainable food security and prosperity without causing damage to interlinked ecosystems. The Earth Organization has identified improved methods of a) cleaning up soil and groundwater contamination; b) enhancing and regenerating soil fertility; and c) enhancing crop production and increasing pest resistance through non-toxic products and methods.COOPERATIVE ECOLOGY EDUCATION CAMPAIGN:In 2020, The Earth Organization created additional education materials for both youth and adults in order to forward our Cooperative Ecology campaign of character-building principles relating to protection and preservation of the natural world. We worked with a California teacher to create a CoEco course for Junior High students to meet California educational STEAM standards (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). The feedback from the 25 8th grade students who participated in the pilot implementation in Kern County, California was excellent and we are now expanding this program. EDUCATIONAL EVENTS:The Earth Organization created and organized two educational trips to South Africa for April and May of 2020 to educate the attendees on conservation issues and demonstrate model solutions in support of our South African chapters work to create wildlife preserves to enhance the safety of wildlife and economically empower. Unfortunately, due to Covid and travel restrictions, we had to reschedule these events for 2022. | Desc |

| STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: | OUR WATER CAMPAIGN:The Earth Organization continued to make advancements in our clean water campaign. In 2020, we provided scientific findings to help bring water security to appx 4,000 square miles of land. We continued our research, documentation and codification of our advanced technology for locating and drilling for groundwater significantly deeper than shallow aquifers. We have advanced these capabilities beyond anything previously documented. Accomplishments:In Southern Australia, while wildfires raged across the county, our team flew to the town of Stanthrope, Queensland to conduct detailed field assessments and water well sitings for the town and 8 severely drought-distressed and failing farms. We also completed a major geohydrology study for a large, drought-stressed sheep and cattle ranch, identifying 25 potential water well. Additionally, advance regional mapping was produced and provided for the water planners of Port Lincoln, South Australia to improve their water security planning. The Earth Organization held several technical conferences in order to help supplement water resource needs in highly arid Middle Eastern countries. Extensive science research and preparations for well drilling have been underway.Preliminary research was conducted in the severely drought-stricken Southwestern United States. In order to help provide water security in extreme drought plagued areas such as Texas and New Mexico, The Earth Organization launched an in-depth analysis and exploration to identify highly likely locations for finding water. The Earth Organization provided a comprehensive geology and prospective water resources study for a non-profit Mutual Water Company in Southern California. A high degree of arsenic in the shallow groundwater has been a consistent challenge in providing potable water to the local community. Special sensor equipment was brought in to conduct ground surveys that identified precise fresh-water, low-arsenic, bore site locations. Advancements and Scientific Accomplishments:In 2020, we developed sophisticated mapping techniques to increase visibility into precise, deep-seated water locations.A study was completed on Ground Water Sustainability and Well Management Best Practices.The Earth Organization evaluated three types of geophysical instruments to be able to verify satellite mapping water location results with on-site evaluations and codified that information.The Earth Organization researched and evaluated the use of drone magnetometry and gravitometer instruments for use in providing advanced water location analysis for future use with communities in severe need. The Earth Organizations Chief Geologist designed an R&D program including developing numerous protocols for measuring and documenting the quality and characteristics of water. FOOD SECURITY SOLUTIONS:In 2020, The Earth Organization advanced its Research and Development of turn-key, nature-friendly, water and food production systems. The goal is to reverse environmental damage created by conventional agricultural practices using toxic chemicals, our science team continued researching and developing a food security program with the aim of codifying an integrated system of environmental technologies to help farmers achieve truly sustainable food security and prosperity without causing damage to interlinked ecosystems. The Earth Organization has identified improved methods of a) cleaning up soil and groundwater contamination; b) enhancing and regenerating soil fertility; and c) enhancing crop production and increasing pest resistance through non-toxic products and methods.COOPERATIVE ECOLOGY EDUCATION CAMPAIGN:In 2020, The Earth Organization created additional education materials for both youth and adults in order to forward our Cooperative Ecology campaign of character-building principles relating to protection and preservation of the natural world. We worked with a California teacher to create a CoEco course for Junior High students to meet California educational STEAM standards (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). The feedback from the 25 8th grade students who participated in the pilot implementation in Kern County, California was excellent and we are now expanding this program. EDUCATIONAL EVENTS:The Earth Organization created and organized two educational trips to South Africa for April and May of 2020 to educate the attendees on conservation issues and demonstrate model solutions in support of our South African chapters work to create wildlife preserves to enhance the safety of wildlife and economically empower. Unfortunately, due to Covid and travel restrictions, we had to reschedule these events for 2022. |
