Protecting Vital
Groundwater Resources

Groundwater Resource Planning (GRP) Solutions

A cloud-based software platform for water managers, recharge planners, consultants, hydrogeologists and municipalities to analyze and manage groundwater systems. It acts as a city-scale digital twin for recharge infrastructure, enabling real-time monitoring, analytics, and operational control of recharge wells and basins through IoT data and dashboards.

Groundwater Dependency and Overuse

In Pakistan, around 60% of agriculture, 70% of domestic use and 95% of industries depend on groundwater.
Groundwater acts as a buffer against climate change, providing a reliable reservoir during abundance and a vital source during droughts.
The Indus groundwater aquifer is the second most stressed aquifer in the world.
There are some cities in Pakistan, where groundwater abstraction has surpassed the natural recharge rate and water levels have fallen below 200 metres.
