Desert Control AS (DSRT): Structural Water Constraints Reinforce the Importance of Sustainable Soil and Water Efficiency

21 Jan 2026 17:13 CET

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.
