Discover High-Impact
Water Solutions.
We scout and evaluate the world's most promising water solutions—from manual drilling innovations to digital monitoring—so you can support what actually works.
Scouted Intelligence
Our autonomous agentic scout scans global projects weekly to find under-the-radar water innovations.
Impact Metrics
We normalize data across diverse solutions to provide clear comparisons on cost per person and sustainability.
Local Empowerment
We prioritize solutions like the Village Drill that empower local teams to build and maintain their own infrastructure.
Featured Water Projects
These solutions have been thoroughly vetted for cost per person, lifespan, and local operational sustainability.
Sand Dams in Kenya (UDO - Utooni Development Organization)
Utooni Development builds sand dams with community self-help groups in Machakos/Makueni, Kenya. Dams cost about 100,000 Kenyan Shillings ($1,200) for materials + community labor. Each dam serves hundreds of people, enabling year-round farming and income generation.
Water is Basic (Women's Well Repair Initiative)
Trains and equips all-women mechanic cooperatives across South Sudan to repair and maintain broken community boreholes, keeping clean water flowing permanently.
IDEP Foundation (Bali Water Protection Program)
Constructs gravity-fed rainwater recharge wells in Bali's central volcanic highlands to replenish depleted groundwater tables and halt coastal saltwater intrusion caused by tourism overdraft.
Clean Water for Haiti BioSand Filters
Provides BioSand water filters to Haitian families, removing 98-100% of disease-causing microbes. Filters last 20+ years, serve 8-10 people per household.
Sand Dam Construction by Excellent Development
Community-led sand dam construction in drylands, storing enough water for 1,000 people for life with low cost per 1,000 liters.
Sand Dam Construction by Africa Sand Dam Foundation
Construction of sand dams in semi-arid regions of Kenya to provide clean water storage in sand reservoirs, with community contribution of labor and materials.
Hydraid BioSand Filter
A lightweight plastic biosand filter for household use, retail price $75, serves 8-10 people, lifespan over 10 years, distributed through NGOs in developing countries.
VF100 Water Filter
A $50 donation provides a VF100 water filter to a family in a developing country, capable of purifying over 100,000 gallons of water and removing 99.9999% of diseases.
HNCO UK Solar Pump Retrofit (Community Well)
Provides a solar-powered submersible pump upgrade for an existing community well in impoverished rural areas, eliminating manual hand-pumping and increasing daily water yield. Total cost £1,800 serving 200-500 people.
