Affordable Desalination that Eliminates the Brine Disposal Problem
Out of our deep support as a Founding Industry Partner of the National Alliance for Water Innovation over the last 6+ years, we have now built close relationships with multiple inventors, researchers, and companies whom we believe will drive the future of water remediation.
Several of our partners are already winning recognition for their breakthroughs as their technologies move into commercialization.
Our company has in place certain exclusive rights to bring these technologies into the market.
One of these key breakthroughs is a non-Thermal Zero Liquid Discharge Technology based on Switchable Solvent technology developed by one of our partners. We can now recover 99% of the water in RO or EDR brine and concentrate the final brine to over 400,000 mg/L. This can be done at a price point that is 20% of current thermally based ZLD processes that actually can recover the water in the brine. And if you currently truck brine off for ocean disposal or deep well injection, we can probably save you well over 50% on your current trucking and disposal bill - plus we will recover the water you are currently wasting.

Desalinating brackish ground-water sources, or remediating other impaired water sources, is now a practical path forward for creating the significant new water supplies needed by Agriculture to offset cuts in surface water delivery, or in groundwater pumping, that are now underway throughout the West.
Whether you are an irrigation district, or a grower, and whether you need an additional 300 acre-feet per year of water supply, or 3,000 acre-feet, you should get in touch with us and find out what the latest generation of breakthrough desal and remediation technologies are capable of. We now are offering two new cost-effective Zero Liquid Discharge technologies that solve the brine disposal problem. We are also offering a powerful new electro-oxidative technology that can knock out Organics, High BOD, Nitrates, Pesticides, Bacteria, and even heavy metals - so that many impaired water sources can be safely remediated and used - at a third of the cost of desalination.
We have a basket of affordable desalination and remediation technologies that actually solve the brine disposal problem that has blocked practically every inland desalination project in the West.
Desalinating brackish groundwater, drainage water, seawater intrusion, recycled water, or produced water can finally be both cost effective, and practical, for agriculture.
​
We are Project Developers and System Integrators. We first use computer modeling to assess the right mix of technologies for your particular water source. Then we either make up matching water at our factory site to run through pilot equipment there, or we carry out onsite piloting at your location. This research based approach allows us to then recommend and price out the best water remediation technologies for your particular needs. We can then permit and construct and turn a desal plant over to you on a turnkey basis, or we can own and operate it and treat your water for you for a per acre foot fee.
​
Our focus is mainly on water for agriculture in the western states - from California to Texas - but we are also working now with municipalities and industry.

We are here to help you tap into reliable and affordable new water supplies for your agricultural needs. This is now possible using many different brackish and impaired water sources.

4/3/2025 - Clark Easter, the CEO of Global Water Innovations, was recently honored to speak at the State Capitol in Sacramento on behalf of the National Alliance for Water Innovation. He spoke about the very important string of 5 pilots that are about to kick off at multiple locations across California. These pilots have been funded by the U.S. DOE, and by California's Dept. of Water Resources. The purpose of these pilots is to compare the head-to-head performance of two new emerging Zero Liquid Discharge technologies for recovering water from various types of Reverse Osmosis brine. Global Water Innovations believes that these new ZLD technologies are key to solving the "Costly Brine Disposal Problem" that has stopped almost all proposed inland desalination projects in California and other Western states.
​
This Desalination Plant below, recently completed by GWI, takes secondary effluent from a wastewater treatment plant and pumps it through an Ozone Contact Skid and Multi-Media Filter to first destruct, and then remove, most of the organics and bacteria in the effluent. The effluent then goes through an ElectroDialysis Reversal (EDR) desalination system that uses electricity to pull the salts out the water - with over 95% of the water recovered. The remaining brine then goes into two evaporation tanks where specialized blowers quickly evaporate the water, leaving the salts behind.
2024 - Global Water Innovations is excited to announce that we will be piloting two revolutionary new Zero Liquid Discharge technologies at 5 sites across the state of California in 2025 - for a Community Service District, for a proposed water bank, for two ag sites, and for a RO brine pond. This project was chosen for grant funding by the U.S. Department of Energy, and by the California Department of Water Resources.
These new technologies are 80% cheaper than current thermal ZLD technologies, and will have a huge impact on the affordability of inland desalination.
​
3/27/2023 - Global Water Innovations has finished delivering all remaining Ozone, MMF, & Desalination Equipment to the construction site at a California Wastewater Treatment Plant. Final hookups are underway. Start up and commissioning is underway. The permeate produced will be used to recharge the local groundwater basin. The EDR system will desalinate and recover an extraordinary 95% of the incoming effluent from the WWTP. The brine will be evaporated in two tanks equipped with special blowers.
1/26/2023 - Clark Easter, the CEO of Global Water Innovations, was honored to be asked to be a roundtable speaker on water's Brine Crisis at the latest American Water Summit in L.A.

March '22 - The National Nut Grower Magazine asked Clark Easter, CEO of Global Water Innovations, to write a lead article in their Sustainability Issue on using impaired water sources to create significant new water supplies for agriculture. California grows over 90% of all nut crops in the U.S., but is rapidly running out of sufficient fresh water to grow food.

9/23/2019 - Global Water Innovations became a founding corporate member of the National Alliance for Water Innovation ("NAWI") right at its inception in 2017.
We are very excited that the U.S. DOE has now chosen NAWI as the national hub for desalination innovation, backing it with $100 million of funding, and we look forward to working on projects with our research partners in NAWI to develop and pilot low cost Zero Brine technologies to produce new supplies of affordable water for agriculture.
