The Challenge
DROUGHT + DEMOGRAPHY = WATER INSECURITY

Today, over 2 billion people suffer from water scarcity. This is expected to worsen as a result of climate change and population growth.

 

This growing lack of fresh water negatively impacts business operations by reducing output, increasing costs, and leading to regulatory challenges.

 

We are heavily dependent on surface water and vulnerable to even the slightest change in its availability. We need to think wider and deeper to re-engineer water self-sufficiency.

The Opportunity
GROUNDWATER IS A 100 TIMES MORE ABUNDANT

Rivers, lakes & dams
3%

No Data Found

Groundwater
97%

According to NASA (Source) and IIASA (Source), 2050 global water needs represent less than 1% of total groundwater volume available

The Solution
GROUNDWATER MAPPING FROM SPACE

We are WATAI, the leading pioneer in the development of scalable groundwater exploration & management software solutions.

We help Businesses, Individuals and Non-profits access new sources of water by delivering metric-precision, best-in-class groundwater access solutions.

Through our unique technological solutions and cross-disciplinary experience in natural resources exploration, we ensure you strike water, every time.

 

WATEX™ is a next-generation set of algorithms combining remotely sensed data collected by various satellites to reveal areas of greatest groundwater productivity potential.

This solution enables the discovery of shallow and deep groundwater, leading to a proven success rate of 98% based on 2,500+ wells drilled in desert, semi-arid, temperate and tropical regions.

“Properly monitored and managed, renewable groundwater is the water of the future”

Benefits

THE WATAI VALUE

What you can expect from using WATAI’s advanced groundwater access maps on your phone or tablet:

  • No more need for costly geophysical tools on site
    This means no need to deploy conventional, local or airborne geophysical solutions (Seismic, TEM, VES, etc.)
  • 98% drilling success rate based on 2,500+ wells
    WATEX™ has been deployed in desert, semi-arid and tropical countries since 2004. The result is an unprecedented drilling success rate.
  • Drastic reduction of turnaround time and costs
    Stressed-tested for over 15 years for urgency situations, you can expect a practical, robust and cost-effective solution.
  • Instant insight, ready for project implementation
    Enter your area of interest and discover the power of a scalable service with metric-precision insights.
  • Designed for industrial & CSR project execution
    As an example, a mining company can at the same time supply water to its mining operations and support the agricultural activities of its working communities.

Sectors
WORKING WITH CONSCIOUS HUMANS

FARMING

Ranging from mid scale farming to large scale agroforestry projects, both large cooperatives and institutional assets. Our objective is to support the development of sustainable farming and eco-forestry projects.

INDUSTRY

Ranging from mining, drilling or any bulk water supply operations. Our objective is to support corporations access diversified water sources and support their host communities and ecosystems.

NON-PROFIT

Ranging from small community support programs to large scale humanitarian action. Our objective has always been to ensure clean, renewable water access to all refugees and internally displaced people.

Our Mission
ACCELERATING CLIMATE RESILIENCE

World map

Our mission is to help humans – businesses and communities – find, use and manage groundwater resources efficiently and sustainably, wherever they are:

  • Ensuring equitable water resource access to communities and native habitats, and

  • (Re)creating entire viable ecosystems through new water discoveries & regenerative solutions.

Providing the simplest and most efficient products in the industry, our deep ambition is to drive an unprecedented revolution in the world of water stewardship via Nature-based solutions.

“Our core technology has been recognized globally for having impacted millions of people since 2004”
