What is primary water?
Primary water is formed deep in the earth from the synthesis of hydrogen and oxygen. Under enormous pressure from the internal heat of the earth, H2O, in the form of vapor, is pushed upward through rock fissures (weakest parts of the earth's crust) and becomes liquid as it cools. Primary Water is forced upward, while atmospheric water is subject to the effects of gravity and flows downward.

The benefits
Why choose primary water?
Discover the unique properties that distinguish primary water from traditional water sources.
Superior quality
Naturally filtered and pure ▼
Primary water is filtered through kilometers of rock and contains no pesticides, microplastics or other modern pollutants that threaten surface water. It is often directly drinkable.
Renewable water
Constantly generated in the earth's crust ▼
Unlike aquifers, primary water is continuously created by chemical reactions in the earth. It is a truly renewable source that does not run out.
Cost effective
90% success rate saves thousands of euros ▼
Traditional methods often have only 30-50% success, drilling contractors charge for each drilling. If the drilling is dry or has low flow rate and they need to drill again, you pay for both. Our water prospecting has a 90% success rate. This can save you thousands of euros in avoided drillings.
Reliable flow rate
Constant water volume, no seasonal variations ▼
Primary water delivers a stable flow rate regardless of drought or rainfall. Temperature and quality remain constant, which is ideal for agriculture, industry and drinking water.
Scientific approach
Patented detection technologies ▼
Our methods are based on decades of research and use advanced geophysical instruments: radiometric mapping, acoustic resonance profiling and satellite image analysis.
Fast results
Efficient and fast realization ▼
Our revolutionary methodology is based on patented advanced technologies to locate water accurately. The precision of our approach allows your well to be realized efficiently and quickly.

Methodology
A proven methodology with a short implementation cycle
A multi-step process, transparent and documented, to make informed decisions for each drilling.
1
Remote analysis
We start by collecting project data: topographic and geological maps, well registers and hydrochemical analyses on or near the project area, as well as all other client objectives and requirements.
2
Lineament mapping and fault line analysis
Then follows lineament mapping and fault line analysis to determine fracture systems, cracks and fault zones in the project area. These external steps, which usually take about two weeks, provide the exploration team with data and maps to work purposefully during field visits.
3
Radiometric counting via gamma radiation
We use an easily deployable geophysical system for investigating large areas, based on radiometric counting via gamma radiation, allowing us to verify external studies with field data, driving in a motor vehicle or quad, on foot and even by drone.
4
Profiling by acoustic resonance
We then select potential areas for passive seismic investigation that quickly produces 2D and 3D acoustic profiles of subsurface lithology to reveal promising formations and structures for groundwater.
5
Drilling and well realization
During the exploration phase, we advise the client on the choice of optimal drilling equipment. If local conditions are reasonable, most drillings can be completed in one or two days!
Advanced technologies for water detection
We use patented advanced technologies to find water with precision.
🔬 Radiometric mapping
A gamma radiation counter calibrated for groundwater exploration. Radiometric mapping by measuring gamma radiation allows us to quickly survey large areas.
🌊 Acoustic resonance profiling
2D and 3D acoustic profiles describing the hardness of the subsurface are quickly made in the field. This makes it possible to determine where the structures containing water are located.
🎯 Projects with confidence
Whatever your situation, we are here to understand your needs and help you get a sustainable and quality water supply. Everyone needs water. We want everyone to have access to it.
💰 Save your money
Traditional methods often have only 30-50% success, drilling contractors charge for each drilling. If the drilling is dry or has low flow rate and they need to drill again, you pay for both. Our water prospecting has a 90% success rate. This can save you thousands of euros in avoided drillings.

Kortenaken (Oud-Heverlee), Belgium
Depth: 110 m • Flow rate: ±4 m³/u (96 m³/dag)
Context: With the purchase of this estate, we are looking for more autonomy, and that starts with water.
Saint-Gaudens, France
Depth: 33 m • Flow rate: 6 m³/u
Context: The only thing this farm was missing to be fully autonomous was water. Now they have their water point too!
Algarve, Portugal
Depth: 110 m • Flow rate: 5-7 m³/u
Context: Success in the dry Algarve region! The client is located in a very dry area where many neighboring wells have salt water. The driller said they were crazy to buy land without already having a well. They called us and we found a promising location. The result: fresh water at 102 m depth with a TDS of only 100 ppm!
Atlantic coast, Portugal
Depth: 96 m • Flow rate: 7+ m³/u
Context: A client got fresh water on the Atlantic coast! The challenge was that there is very little rainfall, causing most shallow wells to be dry in summer, and the driller had warned that most deep wells were salty. Fresh water found at 96 m!
My Little Homestead, Arizona, USA
Depth: 150 m • Flow rate: 8 m³/u
Context: "Our land is very dry. With our old well, we always had to save water. The prospect of abundant water seemed miraculous." Result: water quality: directly drinkable, no nitrates or nitrites. TDS comparable to Evian.
Health Center, Oregon, USA
Depth: 104 m • Flow rate: 68 m³/h
Context: "The old well is shallow and the water contains much arsenic." Result: The new well produced 20 m³/h water at 97 m depth, and 68 m³/h at 104 m! Static water level only 3 m below the surface. TDS of only 180 ppm - an extraordinary well with abundant, excellent and pure water!
Yogacentrum, California, USA
Depth: 213 m • Flow rate: 18+ m³/u
Context: "We celebrate this success! We are done after the extra 12 m and the well test was more than 18 m³/h! This is a great celebration of life. Water is life, and this is proof of abundance." Challenge: the deeper we drilled, the more water there was. When to stop? Water present from 140 m depth.
Red Bluff, California, USA
Depth: 30 m • Flow rate: 10 m³/u
Context: The well is located on the edge of a hill in an area of Lewis Flats, CA, a place where residents say there is "no water". The drillers stated: "This is the best well we have drilled here in the past 40 years! We found a lot of water - about double what we found at 30 m, thank you very much!"

Conference 2026
Hello everyone,
For everyone who wants to know more about the topic of Water, soon I will give some conferences about Pure & Vital Water 💦 but also water in general (Body & Nature) because water is everywhere!
Water is omnipresent and vital for life! We use it daily for all sorts of things, but unfortunately we often don't pay much attention to it. Filling a glass of water has become so ordinary for example.
That's why it can be interesting to (re)discover the secret power of water, many people will be surprised by its virtues and especially the extent to which we devalue it in our modern civilizations and how our governments have kept us away from primary water sources.
I give the conferences for free (voluntary contribution), because I think this is the way to go, hopefully people will understand and be willing to contribute, I'm not looking for profit, just to cover costs (diesel, flyers, website, ..), if that works it's also a nice example for everyone who makes a business model out of it!
More dates coming soon, to be found here or on my brand new Facebook page "Primary Water", feel free to like and share: facebook.com/PrimaryWater
• Primary Water Cycle
(Re)discover the Primary Water cycle, become self-sufficient in Water and regain your independence! 💦
Governments have been "fooling" us with the Water cycle for a long time, at school they only teach us the Atmospheric cycle on which we all depend, on top of that it's completely privatized, polluted, commercialized and manipulated! While we never asked ourselves where spring water and hot springs come from (not from atmospheric rainwater!), water keeps coming out 24/7 365 days a year, even in dry periods. The primary cycle does not depend on climate but on geology, so this Water is present everywhere in the world.
The good example was given in Libya in 1984 with the Great Man Made Water River, but was counteracted by the bankers causing NATO to destroy the project in 2011 💣
Since I like to work solution-oriented, I have been active for the company PrimaryWaterTechnologies for a while, we detect fault lines and water veins using gamma and seismic data, allowing you to directly extract Primary water that can often be used for everything without any treatment, this water is available EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD, just look at the Great Man Made River of Gaddafi.
It goes without saying that for our crops nothing is better than this living water 💦
"Bloom the desert" was one of the goals of the "GMMR" project.

🌍 The underground ocean: ringwoodite and the evidence for primary water
In March 2014, an international team led by Graham Pearson (University of Alberta) published a groundbreaking discovery in the journal Nature: the first terrestrial specimen of the mineral ringwoodite, trapped inside a diamond from Brazil. Ringwoodite only forms under extreme pressure, at ~500 km depth in the mantle transition zone. It contains 1.5% water as hydroxide ions. The researchers estimate that this zone — between 410 and 660 km deep — could hold as much water as all the world's oceans combined. This is the same transition zone described in primary water theory as the source of juvenile water: water that does not originate from the atmospheric water cycle, but is generated deep within the Earth through the synthesis of hydrogen and oxygen under high pressure and temperature. The discovery confirms what primary water researchers have argued for decades: the Earth contains vast quantities of water not accounted for in the conventional hydrological model. "One of the reasons the Earth is such a dynamic planet is the presence of some water in its interior. Water changes everything about the way a planet works." — Graham Pearson, Nature 2014.
📄 Nature — Pearson et al. 2014 → 📄 Scientific American →🌊 Sea Water Plasma
Sea water plasma, also known as Quinton plasma or marine plasma, is a therapeutic remedy developed in the early 20th century by French biologist René Quinton. He discovered the remarkable similarity between seawater and our blood plasma. This isotonic seawater is obtained from specific deep sea areas where the mineral composition is optimal. It contains more than 78 essential minerals and trace elements in a perfect balance identical to our internal environment. The benefits of seawater plasma are numerous: it supports cellular hydration, strengthens the immune system, helps with mineral deficiencies, promotes digestion and contributes to better energy and vitality. CSBS-Odemer offers high-quality seawater plasma that is harvested and processed according to the original Quinton protocols, preserving all living properties.
🏞️ Case Study: Lake Elsinore, California
An extensive drought from 1947 to 1957 left a dusty, dry lake bed in Lake Elsinore, California. Bill Cox, chairman of the Water for Lake Elsinore Association, worked with primary water pioneer Verne L. Cameron on a restoration program. The first well tested a consistent flow rate of 5,500 gallons per minute from a deep primary water source. Two nearby wells also yielded over 5,000 gpm. The lake was completely restored thanks to the innovative work of Cameron and Cox. Lake Elsinore still survives today thanks to the primary water wells that were drilled over 50 years ago and that provide more than a billion gallons of groundwater annually!
📄 Lees het volledige artikel (PDF) →📚 Introduction to Primary Water
A comprehensive presentation on the science and history of primary water. The concept of primary water is more than 100 years old and was independently developed by scientists such as Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld (19th century geologist, nominated for the first Nobel Prize in Physics) and Stephan Riess (Bavarian mining engineer who documented 753 primary water wells on four continents). The presentation covers the scientific evidence, including recent studies suggesting that there may be oceans of water stored deep in the Earth's mantle, the technology for locating primary water (gamma spectrometry, passive seismics), and numerous successful projects worldwide. From California City in the Mojave Desert to projects in Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Tanzania.
📄 Lees het volledige artikel (PDF) →✨ Ode to Water
In this drying world, if we don't want to die of thirst, we must become the source ourselves... but where do we find the sources and resources? We must dig, sometimes a few centimeters, sometimes many meters, so much that everything that comes out, we no longer know where to place it. So let us dig our resources to return to the Mother Source, origin and final destination of all sources. Water is life, water is everything. It connects us with the earth and with each other. Let us cherish and protect it for future generations.
💧 A Lake of Primary Water
The Guiche lake in the Basque Country has always amazed with its water quality. The water is clear, smells good, swimming in it feels immediately beneficial, you feel purified and it tastes good. An old man who worked in the Guiche quarry told how water began to spurt during excavation. The flow rate was so strong that it was impossible to get away from it. The water continued to flow and filled the excavation in one year. The fantastic thing is that the water continues to rise from the underground. Pipes had to be laid to divert the excess and so the water is permanently renewed. It is a lake fed by primary water, without a doubt. The water is new, it lives and it is pure, to the delight of the many visitors.
🔬 Will Groundwater Run Out?
Groundwater is fresh water stored underground. Science defines it as water that exists under the ground in saturated zones beneath the Earth's surface. Nearly 300 million Americans get their water from public drinking water systems that use groundwater as a source. But how did it get there? The science of how groundwater is replenished is evolving. Yet we are told that groundwater is only replenished by the atmospheric water cycle. But there is increasing scientific evidence that this is only part of the story. A recent study suggests that groundwater is the largest continental water reservoir, larger than ice caps and glaciers combined. Primary water offers a solution: it is free from pollution by human activity and never runs out.
🌍 Primary Water: The Other Hydrology
Have you ever wondered why there is so much talk about the water crisis? Isn't the Earth the water planet, the blue planet? At school we learn that 71% of the planet is covered with water, of which 96% is very salty ocean water. About 3% is frozen in ice caps and glaciers. And barely 1% is fresh water flowing through streams, rivers and lakes. But what if this is only part of the picture? Imagine there is another (geo-)hydrological cycle that delivers large quantities of pure drinking water, right under your feet? Many scientific publications confirm the existence of water stored in the Earth's crust. The Earth's crust contains H2O. The so-called hydration transition zone is located at approximately 600 km depth in the mantle, where all the necessary factors of pressure, temperature and catalysts come together to synthesize hydrogen and oxygen into H2O.
🔮 How Does a Water Diviner Work?
Have you ever wondered how a water diviner works? And what is the science behind radiesthesia? Radiesthesia is the exercise of a human ability that makes it possible to obtain information in a way that transcends the scope and power of standard human physical senses. There is field radiesthesia, remote radiesthesia or information radiesthesia. Water diviners can find minerals, lost objects and even people. However, the most common use is finding water. Although scientific studies question this method, there are cases where a water diviner is all you need to find water. But to be sure it is primary water, a special process and proper exploration equipment is required.
