Untapped Water Source Discussed at Long Beach Talk
Santa Barbara scientist Stephan Riess told a Long Beach State College class that an inexhaustible supply lies deep in rocks beneath California. He described primary water formed by electro-chemical action and tapped by drilling through rock fissures, noting seven wells support the theory. Riess chairs Resources Foundation of America. Dr. Carl E. Gregory led the related talks. The foundation is drilling in the Negev Desert near Eilath and the Gulf of Aqaba, where conventional geologists see no water. Riess predicted the first well will soon bring water to Israel and the Arab world, offering new hope.
