Acacia Water

Sustainable groundwater

Developing the use of groundwater resources to address the global water crisis, prompted by increasing demand and climate change. This is the focus of the Sustainable Groundwater team. Acacia Water’s experts bring in hydrogeological expertise, by blending desk study and field assessments. We apply cutting-edge geo-spatial, remote sensing, and geophysical tools and methods. Our aim is to develop tailored, practical solutions that meet environmental and social needs. By fostering partnerships and bridging theory and practice, we promote sustainable groundwater stewardship. We empower policy and decision-makers with the knowledge for evidence-based groundwater resources management. Committed to enhancing knowledge of hydrogeological systems, our team supports sustainable development to ensure sufficient water of adequate quality for all.

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.
