The Challenge
DROUGHT + DEMOGRAPHY = WATER & ECOSYSTEM THREATS

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 multifaceted 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 & climate resilience.

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
DECODING GROUNDWATER FROM SPACE

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

We help Project Developers, Landowners and Non-profits access and manage new sources of water by delivering metric-precision, best-in-class groundwater insight solutions.

Through our unique technological solutions and cross-disciplinary experience in natural resources exploration, we ensure you become climate-resilient by working with nature.

 

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 2,700+ wells drilled in desert, semi-arid, temperate and tropical regions.

Your Strategic Edge
KNOW WHERE TO FOCUS AND WIN

A forest in the desert

With WATAI, you know exactly where to drill and where not to drill, with advanced groundwater & nature insights at your fingertips.

Instantly obtain the best estimate of the potential presence of groundwater in simple to complex geologies, whether in basement or sedimentary contexts.

Coupled with systematically verified surface and subsurface data, access brand new nature-based solutions development opportunities.

“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 & nature insights on your phone or tablet:

  • Reduces geophysical campaigns time by 70%
    Know exactly where to focus any groundwater survey such as seismic, TEM, VES, etc. No need for guess work anymore
  • 98% drilling success rate based on 2,700+ 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

LANDOWNERS

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.

DEVELOPERS

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-PROFITS

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 – project developers and WASH non profits – find, use and protect groundwater resources efficiently, wherever necessary and possible:

  • Ensuring equitable water resource access to humans and their host ecosystems, 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 a radical evolution in the world of water stewardship via the development of Nature-based solutions.

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