Enhancing knowledge of water systems on all levels and scales

Advancing groundwater utilization holds the key to navigating the global crisis that challenges our most vital resource: water

Groundwater development

By blending desk study and field assessments, we bring in hydrogeological expertise that is science-based and practical. In our approach, we apply cutting-edge geo-spatial, remote sensing, and geophysical tools and methods. All we do, is aimed at developing solutions, that are tailored and equitable. And, meet both environmental and social needs. Our commitment: enhancing knowledge of hydrogeological systems, worldwide.

We foster partnerships and bridge theory and practice, promote sustainable groundwater stewardship, and empower policy and decision-makers with the knowledge for evidence-based groundwater resources management. We are dedicated to support sustainable groundwater development to ensure sufficient water of adequate quality for all.

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.

Nature-based Solutions for a Climate-Resilient Geul River Valley

Acacia Water, Belgium, Bureau Stroming, H+N+S, Business unit, Country, Germany, Natuurkracht, Netherlands, Water security

Nature-based solutions (NbS) can reduce the likelihood of droughts and floods. For the river basin of the Geul in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, the effects of 10 landscape interventions were modeled using the SWAT+ model (Soil and Water Assessment Tool Plus).

Enhancing Flood Resilience in South Sudan

International Organization for Migration (IOM), South Sudan, Water security

South Sudan has faced prolonged and severe flooding for over many years, To strengthen the communities’ resilience to climate-related disasters, a feasibility assessment was conducted, identifying robust, evidence-based, and community-informed investments.
