| Desc | OIL SPILL AND OTHER TOXIC SPILLS CLEANUP CAMPAIGN: The Earth Organization continued to work with like-minded groups to advance effective, non-toxic oil spill cleanup technologies around the world. The Earth Organizations educational materials are being used to expand the implementation of efficient cleanup methods in over 60 countries. Just one example of notable progress is that technology we advocate for was successfully demonstrated for use on cleaning up massive wastewater effluent being dumped into major rivers in India. Contract negotiations are currently underway with officials in India to clean up several major rivers there with this technology. OUR WATER CAMPAIGN: The Earth Organizations team of scientists (specialists in geology, hydrology, biology, advanced satellite mapping and analysis techniques and environmental management) completed 6 months of training and tech acquisition and research. Studying under experts in the field of deep-water drilling (far below shallow aquifers), they began codifying and advancing water location technology for mitigating the impacts of severe drought on rural communities, farmers, ranchers, and nature. We have registered this science as a unique intellectual property in 167 countries. The Earth Organization designed a research program to isolate any defining characteristics it may have and are completing those qualifications, including writing technical bulletins on geology, hydrology, and geophysics. These bulletins are currently in development for our training materials to cover key aspects of these very technical subjects. As a part of this step, The Earth Organizations research team visited three historic water well sites in California and a natural perennial spring in New South Wales, Australia to study the geology of each area and analyze why these particular water sources have been so productive for so many years. The Earth Organization sited over 50 potential water boreholes for farmers and ranchers in need. The Earth Organization produced an extensive deep groundwater resource analysis of the Murray-Darling River Basin region to enable them to devise a drought-proofing plan for this area that has been terribly impacted by severe drought for the past 8 years. The Earth Organization presented a precise water locating method to a group of farmers to help them begin a recovery plan and sited and drilled the first one as a demonstration. Because of the devastating drought in the area and the dire need for additional water resources, our bringing a potential solution to farmers who were losing their land because of the economic stress caused by the drought gained media attention and a 15-minute ABC news program covered our work and the results. The water company of a Southern California mountain community Pine Mountain Club brought us in to provide accurate and in-depth analysis of potential good-quality water resources that could be accessed within its boundaries. The Earth Organizations team spent several days mapping the area and conducting on-site field assessment and then presented our results to their Board of Directors, guiding them to five potential borehole sites with a high likelihood of good quality water. The Earth Organization is currently developing water location projects in Kenya, South Africa, Australia, and the Middle East for regions in dire need of supplemental water. The Earth Organization is codifying and creating training materials for new water exploration techniques that were never before properly documented to ensure these technologies and methods are not lost. In 2019, The Earth Organization videoed dozens of technical training sessions, and edited them into formal training videos with full transcripts and indexes resulting in more than 3 hours of professional training programs. As a part of this, we integrated previously pen-and-paper analysis techniques into computer software programs. FOOD SECURITY SOLUTIONS: As a first step towards helping to reverse environmental damage created by conventional agricultural practices using toxic chemicals, our science team began 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. ECO SAFARI TO SOUTH AFRICA: The Earth Organization conducted a two-week-long Eco Safari to South Africa in April, educating our travelers on conservation issues and solutions and in support of several wildlife preserves. | Desc |

| STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: | OIL SPILL AND OTHER TOXIC SPILLS CLEANUP CAMPAIGN: The Earth Organization continued to work with like-minded groups to advance effective, non-toxic oil spill cleanup technologies around the world. The Earth Organizations educational materials are being used to expand the implementation of efficient cleanup methods in over 60 countries. Just one example of notable progress is that technology we advocate for was successfully demonstrated for use on cleaning up massive wastewater effluent being dumped into major rivers in India. Contract negotiations are currently underway with officials in India to clean up several major rivers there with this technology. OUR WATER CAMPAIGN: The Earth Organizations team of scientists (specialists in geology, hydrology, biology, advanced satellite mapping and analysis techniques and environmental management) completed 6 months of training and tech acquisition and research. Studying under experts in the field of deep-water drilling (far below shallow aquifers), they began codifying and advancing water location technology for mitigating the impacts of severe drought on rural communities, farmers, ranchers, and nature. We have registered this science as a unique intellectual property in 167 countries. The Earth Organization designed a research program to isolate any defining characteristics it may have and are completing those qualifications, including writing technical bulletins on geology, hydrology, and geophysics. These bulletins are currently in development for our training materials to cover key aspects of these very technical subjects. As a part of this step, The Earth Organizations research team visited three historic water well sites in California and a natural perennial spring in New South Wales, Australia to study the geology of each area and analyze why these particular water sources have been so productive for so many years. The Earth Organization sited over 50 potential water boreholes for farmers and ranchers in need. The Earth Organization produced an extensive deep groundwater resource analysis of the Murray-Darling River Basin region to enable them to devise a drought-proofing plan for this area that has been terribly impacted by severe drought for the past 8 years. The Earth Organization presented a precise water locating method to a group of farmers to help them begin a recovery plan and sited and drilled the first one as a demonstration. Because of the devastating drought in the area and the dire need for additional water resources, our bringing a potential solution to farmers who were losing their land because of the economic stress caused by the drought gained media attention and a 15-minute ABC news program covered our work and the results. The water company of a Southern California mountain community Pine Mountain Club brought us in to provide accurate and in-depth analysis of potential good-quality water resources that could be accessed within its boundaries. The Earth Organizations team spent several days mapping the area and conducting on-site field assessment and then presented our results to their Board of Directors, guiding them to five potential borehole sites with a high likelihood of good quality water. The Earth Organization is currently developing water location projects in Kenya, South Africa, Australia, and the Middle East for regions in dire need of supplemental water. The Earth Organization is codifying and creating training materials for new water exploration techniques that were never before properly documented to ensure these technologies and methods are not lost. In 2019, The Earth Organization videoed dozens of technical training sessions, and edited them into formal training videos with full transcripts and indexes resulting in more than 3 hours of professional training programs. As a part of this, we integrated previously pen-and-paper analysis techniques into computer software programs. FOOD SECURITY SOLUTIONS: As a first step towards helping to reverse environmental damage created by conventional agricultural practices using toxic chemicals, our science team began 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. ECO SAFARI TO SOUTH AFRICA: The Earth Organization conducted a two-week-long Eco Safari to South Africa in April, educating our travelers on conservation issues and solutions and in support of several wildlife preserves. |
