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.

Projects

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.

Thriving Rangeland Ecosystems and Water Availability in (Semi)-Arid Landscapes

, , ,
Resilient water and rangeland service delivery, in arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs), is the focus of the Kenya Resilient Arid Lands Partnership for Integrated Development Plus (Kenya RAPID+). The program builds on over five-years of learning from the original Kenya RAPID program.
