The fights over water have shaped our planet, pitting farmers, cites and nature against each other with the dead seas as but one visible symptom and casualty.
Technology enables win-win solutions, and with creativity, can unlock abundance once more.
Two unique technologies have emerged, that when combined, offer revolutionary solutions for the first time in history.
- LOW COST TUNNELS
pioneered by Elon Musk's The Boring Company
- EVAPORATIVE DESALINATION
pioneered by Charlie Paton's Seawater Greenhouse
Conventional "experts" and approaches yielded no progress as the dying seas deteriorated for decades, impacting farming communities and health worldwide.
We spent our lives in Silicon Valley immersed in innovation & tech.
We bring a fresh perspective, a sense of the possible, along with new and consequential technologies for a paradigm change decades in the waiting
Once a freshwater lake, with the largest population of migrating birds, and richest fish stock in the United States.
Located right behind Los Angeles and San Diego, at its peak in the 1950s it attracted more visitors annually than Yosemite!
With salinity levels now 3X that of seawater, decades of political inaction and unimaginative proposals have left the region sorely in need of hope.
A dead sea since ancient times, freshwater inflows from the Jordan River have been diverted by farms and cities.
An $11B project to import water from the Red Sea in the south was cancelled in 2021 due to geo-political challenges.
With no active plans, the Dead Sea is set to evaporate away, having already receded by 35% from its 1930 shorelines.
With explosive technological advances, a new era of infrastructure is dawning. Where tunnels once were the path of last resort, they are quickly becoming the best option to transport water...
- using direct routes enabling gravity fed systems
- minimizing pumping requirements
- mitigate project risk due to weather, property rights and land use conflicts

Plow over the exposed beaches, to bury salts and chemicals.
Create furrows to trap blown dust in order to reduce windborne particles.
Import water to offset evaporative losses and stop the decline in sea level.
Without removal of salts, the salinity levels inexorably rise leaving the waters inhospitable to fish and wildlife.
Import water, and pump out the brine to reduce salinity, creating a trophic cascade as nature returns and the ecosystem rebuilds and restores the shores.
Fish and wildlife return in abundance.
Wildlife and residents flee as the environment degrades, leaving the region economically depressed and devoid of a future
Imported water stabilizes the soils, and staves off economic collapse.
The region remains unattractive to live in, however mining and geothermal industries attract migratory workers with decent jobs
A rejuvenated ecological gem in the desert draws massive investment in tourism, real estate and recreation.
Land prices skyrocket and the region reaps a windfall for generations as the economic flywheel is set in motion
“There is nothing impossible to them that will try.”
