About The Author
Dr Alain Gachet
Alain Gachet, CEO and Founder of RTI Exploration, born in Madagascar in 1951, is a nuclear physicist specialized in Quantum Mechanics, a mining engineer, petroleum geologist and geophysicist. He has worked as an international expert for the United Nations and the USGS on the ‘Science for Diplomacy’ programme.
After working for twenty years in oil exploration, Alain Gachet made a major change in shifting from oil to water. He created RTI (Radar Technologies International) in 1999, to explore deep aquifers all over the world, using a secret algorithm based on quantum mechanics, geology and geophysics.
He now seeks deep potable water in war-torn areas in Africa and the Middle East and is responsible for several major aquifer discoveries in Iraq, Sudan, Chad, Niger, Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa, and more recently in Costa Rica and Chile for the purposes of reforestation.
In December 2014, Alain Gachet was appointed Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur. In 2016, recommended by NASA, he was inducted into the Space Technology Hall of Fame, a highly selective and discreet club of scientific humanists, at the Space Foundation in Colorado Springs, USA, for having significantly improved the lives of millions of people around the world using fundamental physics and space technologies.
