Bruarfoss Legacy Asset

Bruarfoss has exclusive rights to the only self-renewing source of the purest drinking water on earth in large bulk quantities.

Our initial water source delivers more than 20 billion liters of bulk water annually with an additional capacity of up to 100 billion liters annually as demands require.

Our supply capacity is equivalent to 50+ % of the combined global market consumption forecast for 2007 (184 billion liters).

Bulk Water Advantages:

• Clean, pure water for drinking, cooking and personal hygiene when access to municipal sources is restricted following a disaster.

• Small Bulk for homes, schools, senior centers and medical facilities to ensure that drinking water is immediately available following a disaster.

• Bruarfoss water has an indefinite shelf life and can be stored safely for emergency use as needed.

• Our water can be used safely for medical purposes, such as dialysis, in the event of disaster to ensure patient safety in hospitals, medical clinics and senior care facilities.

Communities Need Back Up Emergency Water

• After Katrina…NBC Nightly News Correspondent – Brian Williams reporting: “Why can’t some of the Chinook helicopters and Blackhawks that we have heard flying over for days and days… simply lower palettes of water right in the middle of downtown New Orleans?”

• The Today Show- Campbell Brown reporting: (to Mayor Ray Nagin) “Why didn’t you do anything? You’re the mayor of this city! Where is the emergency water for your people?”

• Why wait for emergency drinking water to arrive AFTER THE DISASTER?

• Bruarfoss is the only bulk water solutions provider for Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Recovery.

• No one dying of thirst waiting for drinking water to arrive.

Water is connected to everything that we care about… energy, thriving local economies food production, human health and politics.

The U.S. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Scientists warn us:

We are running out of water for EVERYDAY use. How we will secure drinking water for emergencies?

• Roger Pulwarty, one of the federal government’s top drought scientists, warns that “States such as Arizona and Colorado, which already fight over the Colorado River basin water, will step up legal skirmishes. They may look to the Great Lakes, but water availability there has already been limited by the recent Great Lakes Compact legislation.

• Reduced snow melt supplying Sacramento Valley in California means that by 2020 there won’t be enough water “to meet the daily needs of the community,” Pulwarty has stated.

• Rising sea levels will make storm surge “the No. 1 vulnerability for the metropolitan East Coast,” according to Cynthia Rosenzweig of NASA.

• By 2012, over 10 percent of the water needs in urban Texas areas will not be met during times of water shortages in El Paso and San Antonio.

• Albuquerque, NM could run out of water altogether in 10 to 20 years.

Not In MY Back Yard?

Consider This… • Although Florida has hundreds of lakes and wetlands, sits atop enormous

underground aquifers, and receives more than 50 inches of rainfall a year, it is facing serious water supply problems. Central Florida will run out of drinking water in 5 years unless population growth slows or new water sources are discovered, AND the area’s water management district warns that its rivers, lakes and streams will dry up permanently.

• In Atlanta, 57 billion to 133 billion gallons of tainted water flows from paved areas directly into surface waters each year.

• In Kansas, parts of the High Plains aquifer will be used up within the next 25 years, according to the Kansas Geological Survey.

• In Northeast Kansas, the water shortage is so severe that state officials are considering building a pipeline to the Missouri River, but most of the water in the river is already spoken for by other users.

Running Out of Water is a Disaster

• In Idaho, population growth means that the region’s water demand is expected to nearly double by 2025. The major water supplier to the Boise area says it will have trouble supplying water to Southeast Boise within two years.

• Parts of six counties bordering Lake Michigan, one of the world’s largest freshwater sources, could face serious water shortages within 20 years.

• The Chicago area is expected to suffer water shortfalls by 2020, by which time the area will have added 1.3 million residents.

• In New Jersey, the State Plan, a blueprint for managing population growth, noted that it needs to spend $2 million to patch leaks and clean up contamination in the water system. It could cost another $3.3 billion to accommodate population growth during the next 20 years. And by 2040, the state expects water use to rise by nearly 80 percent.
