INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES

Humans and agriculture are vulnerable to drought. Using the soil-water system to optimal benefit will help to make more water available to prevent drought. Water storage in the soil, deep underground infiltration and targeted drip irrigation are three examples of techniques designed to use the natural capital of water and soil to maximum effectiveness and efficiency. They can be used to ensure that sufficient water is available at the right time for agriculture, livestock farming, as drinking water or as industrial water.

To promote development and the process of innovation, Acacia Water conducts its own pilot projects. A wide range of measurements are taken to monitor the performance of the freshwater techniques in the pilot environment. Geophysics, hydrochemical analysis and piezometers are used to monitor underground processes and developments. These insights help to optimize techniques and to quantify the effects whenever necessary.
