Strategic Economic Insights for Water & Ground-Resource Invest­ments

Delivering sustainable and supported solutions by integrating not only (geo)hydrological, social, and environmental factors, but also economic perspectives.

Economic Analyses

Acacia Water ensures that solutions reach their full potential, for now and in the future. To ensure that the solution continues to work after the project is complete, we look at all factors that influence success during the analysis phase. In addition to the technical implementation of our advice, we look at the social, economic and environmental aspects of the interventions.

Our experts carefully weigh the different points of view and opinions, resulting in solutions that are widely supported and sustainable. The integration and combination of (geo)hydrological and socio-economic aspects guarantees the quality of the advice of Acacia Water.

Projects

Acacia Water colleagues conducting field work.

Waterwerk: Research on Water-Saving Irrigation Techniques

, , ,
Climate change is causing extreme weather conditions to occur more frequently. This poses challenges for agriculture: both flooding and water shortages lead to complications in the Netherlands. The Waterwerk project is conducting research into water-saving irrigation techniques.

Hydrological Modelling for Informed Water Resource Planning and Investments

, , , , , , ,
Yemen faces declining agricultural productivity and rising malnutrition of people due to an extreme pressure on water resources. A basin-wide SWAT model (Soil Water Assessment Tool) was developed and provides a first estimate of the water balance and key hydrological processes.

Reducing CO2 Emissions: Model Study of Innovative Peatland Rewetting

,
In a feasibility study, Acacia Water surveyed the extent to which a drip infiltration system (DIS) can contribute to the rewetting of peat soils and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. This modeling study shows the effect of different DIS variants on groundwater levels, soil moisture, temperature, and emissions.
