Drain or Elevate: Tackling Standing Water on Sports Fields
The Noordwijkse Golf Club (NGC) has been facing ponding water, forming puddles and ponds, on low-lying parts of the golf course for extended periods since 2023, particularly at holes 1, 2, 8, 9 and 10. This problem is caused by exceptionally high groundwater levels as a result of extreme rainfall in 2023 and 2024. On behalf of the NGC, Acacia Water conducted an analysis to investigate the causes and propose potential solutions.
IWRM Evaluation Tool to Enhance Water Security in Ethiopia
Twelve water interventions in the Tana Sub-Basin in Ethiopia are assessed using the IWRM Evaluation Tool developed by Acacia Water. Results are presented in the report “Investigating the Nexus of Water Supply Interventions (WSI) and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM): A Case Study of the Tana Sub-basin in the Amhara National Regional State”.
Groundwater mapping en IWRM in Borena and Jimma Zones in Ethiopia
In the past, many wells drilled in the area of this project were unsuccessful or gave less yield than expected. This was due to lack of proper hydrogeological and geophysical investigations. Acacia Water delivers (shallow) groundwater mapping and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) services as part of a REACH programme. This approach contributes to more successful drillings.
Underground storage of drinking water in Oman
Oman features a beautiful landscape in the middle of the Arab world. But in the sultanate, which comprises about 80% desert. Rainfall is limited and irregular, and the capacity of aquifers is under pressure. Water scarcity is therefore increasingly a problem. Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) could provide a cost-effective solution to Oman’s water management needs.
Recharge, Retention and Reuse Jordan
In a water scarce country as Jordan, climate change and overexploitation of groundwater are big challenges. When the water-related issues are this big and diverse, it is not easy to find a long-term solution for each issue. Flash floods and at the same time droughts are just a few examples of these diverse threats.
Integrated river basin management in the Rio Frío and Rio Sevilla watersheds in Colombia
The Río Frío and Río Sevilla basins in the Magdalena region of Colombia increasingly face challenges in terms of both water quantity and quality between different water users.
