ADVANCED GROUNDWATER MAPPING FOR GOVERNMENTS, INTERNATIONAL AGENCIES AND MAJOR COMPANIES

WATEX™ Groundwater Mapping

At Country or County scale, the WATEX™ Advanced Groundwater Mapping results reveal underground aquifers with their recharge and their associated potential agricultural land.

The results considerably reduce operational risks and secure investments for sustainable economic development, particularly for large-scale irrigated agriculture and bulk water supply development.

The WATEX™ results are central to carrying out technical and economic feasibility studies and bankable business plans determining the size of the required investment before engaging any field operations.
