For the promotion of the effective
use of deep ocean water (DOW), an untapped natural resource
shared by all human beings, it is necessary to strengthen
the domestic organizations in close liaison among industry,
government and academic sectors, foster the research into
the applications of DOW and promote the dissemination of
the fruits of the research. The promotion of research activities
through international cooperation has been strongly desired
at home and abroad. Particularly the prompt establishment
of a domestic organization for groups and individuals to
participate freely in the exchange of information about DOW
has been called for. In the light of this situation, the
Deep Ocean Water Applications Society (DOWAS) was established.
