The man who finds water in the desert

Available for over a year

Alain Gachet quit a lucrative career in oil to search for water underground. Colleagues told him he was a 'crazy donkey', but he eventually developed an algorithm that allowed him to 'peel the earth like an onion' and detect water reserves underground. Soon, he was asked to help find water for desperate refugees escaping the conflict in Darfur.
