Sandnes, 21 January 2026 - Desert Control AS (DSRT) notes recent international research, including a report released this week by the United Nations University on global water constraints, highlighting growing pressures on global water systems. Scientific assessments increasingly point to structural constraints on water availability driven by climate change, groundwater depletion, and rising demand from agriculture and urban development.

While the severity and timing of water stress vary significantly by region, the broader direction underscores the need to move beyond short-term crisis responses and toward long-term adaptation strategies. Improving water efficiency and soil performance is becoming an essential component of sustainable land and agricultural management.

Desert Control's technology is designed to address these challenges by improving soil structure and increasing water-holding capacity, enabling more efficient use of available water resources. These outcomes are particularly relevant in agriculture, which remains the largest global consumer of freshwater. These challenges are particularly pronounced in sandy, fast-draining soils, where limited water retention increases vulnerability under increasingly constrained water conditions.

"Water availability is becoming more constrained in many regions, and this reflects a structural shift rather than a temporary disruption," said James Thomas, Chief Executive Officer of Desert Control. "Our focus is on practical, science-based solutions that help growers and land managers use water more efficiently and improve soil performance over time. These developments reinforce the long-term relevance of our technology, even as adoption continues to be shaped by local conditions."

Desert Control emphasizes that water regulation, pricing, and adoption dynamics differ widely across markets. The company continues to take a disciplined, evidence-based approach to commercialization, working closely with partners and customers to demonstrate agronomic, environmental, and economic value.

As global attention increasingly shifts toward sustained water and land stewardship, Desert Control remains focused on supporting resilient agriculture, healthier soils, and responsible resource use through scalable, scientifically validated solutions.
