This paper discussed water liquor acts on micrinite in the calcareous clay at the bottom of saline aquifer and put forward the concept of filter bed of salinity.
He launched Liquify, a non-profit with a mission to provide sustainable filtration systems, help residents build recharge wells that replenish aquifers, and water catchment systems to collect rainfall for other uses.
His region has a large aquifer, so he thinks he'll be OK this season, but in other parts of France the hot conditions have left soil too parched to replenish easily.
It has depleted aquifers, driven up fertilizer use, reduced the diversity of rice breeds that are planted, and polluted the air with the smoke of burning rice stubble.
This massive aquifer covers 70,000 sq km, and the researchers believe it contains about 140 billion tons of water enough to raise global sea levels by 0.4 millimeters.
But if those boreholes take water from an aquifer, or the groundwater from across the border, then international water law certainly could...can be of help.
