Physical water scarcity: More than 75% of theriver flows are allocated to agriculture, industriesor domestic purposes. This definition of scarcity‐relating water availability to water demand‐implies that dry areas are not necessarily waterscarce.

Approaching physical water scarcity: Morethan 60% of the river flows are allocated.These basins will experience physical waterscarcity in the near future.

Economic water scarcity: Water resources are abundant relative to water use, with less than 25% of water from rivers withdrawn for human purposes, but malnutrition exists.

Little or no water scarcity: Abundant water resources relative to use. Less than 25% of the water from rivers is withdrawn for human purposes.

Our Approach & Proprietary Technology


Our Water Finding Specialists are able to detect with very high precision the presence and locations of naturally desalinated self recharging water sources typically between the depths of 300 – 800m. This technology is fine‐tuned to identify high volume, self‐recharging flowing watersources.

Our Technology A proprietary Virtual Prospecting Program that provides 98% accuracy of Water finding using [i]neural network [ii] fuzzy logic [iii] pattern recognition [iv]proprietary algorithms on one of the largest hydrogeological database Our Datasets include • Global Hydrogeological Maps & related Data • The data related to lithology, stratigraphy, topography, number of existing wells, water table

level, potential chemical singularities (natural or human‐inducted), geological cartography & an assessment of existing installations are carried out for desired precision.

• Extensive Global Geophysical Data (~1.5 Kms depth) from Oil/Mineral exploration studies • Remote Sensing Data including Thermal Data, Gravitational Field Data, Magnetic Fields Data

Potential Application for Self-replenishing Fresh water Mid‐long term water usage:

1. Water Banking: Interconnecting Self‐recharging flowing water sources with sub‐surface aquifers for a non‐rain recharge system for ensuring perennial ground water recharge.

2. Parallel/Alternate/Feeder Water supply network: To provide redundancy in case of critical failure in case of surface water contamination, drought conditions or any disruptions in any form of conventional water supply network.

3. Harnessing Geothermal energy /air‐conditioning and other downstream activities




Immediate Water Usage:1. Drinking Water Supply in Drought

affected area or areas with contaminated GW

2. Agriculture land rehabilitation and Irrigation related water supply

3. Water supply for Industrial Parks/Cities

STEP 1

Request For Information (RFI) from Interested Competent Organization/Authority/Benefiary to provide the following information wrt Target Location (TL):

• Latitude and Longitude of the TL

• Maximum Radius of the distance from the TL/Area marked on Google maps

• Type of water e.g. drinking water, hot, cold, mineral



WaterQuest Contract Process

STEP 2Prospecting: Virtual and PhysicalWaterQuest will revert with the following information:



• Indication if there are

sources of ground water in

the TL matching or close to

the specified requirements

• Depth of the water

• Static Level of the water

• Flow Rate

• Water quality

• Temperature



STEP 3‐ Client confirms interest to mark and drill well:

Until this point the WaterQuest information provided is only a forecast. To confirm this forecast, a site survey of the Target Location is best to be done.

• Client will pay for the cost of TWO WaterQuest Consultants to fly to Client’s location.• Provide food, accommodation and local travel expenses

During this same trip, WaterQuest will do a Client Due Diligence to determine the suitability of the Client:

• If Client has the right to make the well• If Client is able to obtain the necessary licenses, permits and visas for the

WaterQuest Project Team.• If Client is able to ensure the security and safety of the WaterQuest Project Team.





STEP 4– WaterQuest & Client sign contract to mark and drill well:

Upon successful TL confirmation and Client Due Diligence, WaterQuest will send an official quotation to Client including information about:

• Timeline & phases• Phases for payments:

• 25% upon signing of contract, • 50% upon reaching within 8m of target depth and • 25% upon completion, capping of well and receipt of water analysis and flow rate confirmation.

• Confirmed water forecast• Terms & Conditions.





STEP 5 – Completion and handover of well:

• Once the well is completed the standard procedure is to cap the well.• Should the Client want WaterQuest to implement extraction and distribution

engineering a separate project will be started.

WaterQuest HydroResources can be further engaged to provide feasibility studies, business modelling, project management and other related activities to support the Client.




Advantages of WaterQuestTechnology

• Quantity: Decentralized sustainable water sources development and management of high volume flows

• Quality: Provides ability to locate and identify water‐wells with specific desired quality and/or type of water as in quality with respect to for industrial use/agriculture use/drinking purpose, etc. whereas type with respect to temperature may be normal/thermal

• Sustainability: Self replenishing and self‐recharging perennial flowing water veins which have no adverse Environmental Impact and has several social benefits

• Reliability: One‐of‐its kind virtual prospecting technology with 98% accuracy in identification of self‐recharging & self‐replenishing perennial water‐veins. The availability of water is independent of seasons and rainfalls




Significant Social & Environmental Impact

• Decentralized & sustainable water sources development & management, No dependence on Rainwater or other surface water for recharging thus reliable, sustainable and perennial water supply to citizens.

• Reduced social unrest & significant reduction in project related displacement issues of communities. There will be no project affected families.

• Has no adverse environmental impact owing to extraction of water from self‐replenishing flowing water sources vis‐à‐vis static water/local ground water

• Reduced environmental impact due to reduction in waste water and elimination of sludge from treatment

• Reliable, perennial supply of high quality water leads to improved health indicators and productive population

• Significant Improvements in Human Development Index




Through collective will, wisdom and action we can change the course of our future for better. AtWaterQuest HydroResources we are working each day on a revolutionary approach to mitigate the impending water crisis
