Field-Tested Water Harvesting Consultancy

Bringing water
to the places
that need it most.

We identify, pilot, and deploy proven atmospheric water harvesting systems across 27 countries — tested on the ground before we ever recommend them.

The mission

Scarcity is
not inevitable.

"The air above the driest desert holds enough moisture to sustain life. The question is no longer whether we can harvest it — it is whether we can deploy the right systems honestly, at scale, where they are needed most."

Aquacapt works at the intersection of proven atmospheric water technology and the communities who need it most. We are not equipment vendors — we assess, pilot, match, and deploy solutions that work under real field conditions, and we tell clients clearly when a technology is not yet ready for their situation.

1

2.2 billion people lack safe drinking water

Agriculture accounts for 70% of global freshwater withdrawal. As aquifers deplete and rainfall patterns shift, millions of smallholder farms face an existential water crisis within this decade.

2

Technology exists — deployment does not

Proven atmospheric water harvesting systems are commercially available today, yet remain largely undeployed in agricultural communities due to knowledge gaps and the lack of trusted, technology-agnostic intermediaries.

3

The Nobel Prize validates the science

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry recognised MOF technology — enabling water harvesting from desert air as dry as 10% humidity. Industrial-scale deployment is 12–24 months away.

The technology

Honestly
mapped.

Not all atmospheric water technologies work in all conditions. Our core commitment is matching the right system to the right environment — and being direct when no viable solution exists yet. We pilot every system locally before we recommend it.

✓ Proven · Now

Condensation Systems

Cooling ambient air below dew point to extract liquid water. Energy-intensive but highly reliable in humid climates. Multiple commercial products deployed globally.

Best humidity: > 60% RH
Example: Watergen GEN-350, Aquaria
✓ Proven · Now

Hygroscopic Panels

Proprietary materials absorb moisture passively, released by solar heating. Off-grid, silent, scalable. Best in semi-arid zones with strong sunlight.

Best humidity: 35–65% RH
Example: SOURCE Hydropanels (R3)
~ Emerging

Fog Collection Networks

Large-mesh fog collectors harvest wind-driven moisture in coastal and highland zones. Simple, low-maintenance, and community-operable. Proven in Chile, Morocco, and Eritrea.

Best conditions: Coastal fog, highland mist
Example: CloudFisher, FogQuest
~ Emerging

Hydrogel-Salt Composites

Polymer matrices with deliquescent salts capture moisture at lower humidity. Outdoor tests validated at 3.5–8.9 L/m²/day. Pre-commercial but field-piloted.

Best humidity: 25–50% RH
Stage: Research → Pilot
~ Pilot stage

MOF-Based Devices

Metal-Organic Frameworks adsorb water at humidity as low as 10%. Validated in Death Valley. Containerised industrial units in development by Atoco / WaHa.

Best humidity: > 10% RH
Commercial target: Late 2026
◆ Our approach

Technology-Agnostic Assessment

Aquacapt is not affiliated with any single vendor. Every engagement begins with a rigorous field assessment before any technology is recommended — or ruled out. We pilot first. Always.

Output: Honest match or honest "not yet"
Why Aquacapt

The gap is not
the chemistry.
It is the deployment.

The brilliant scientists building MOF devices won't tell you which cooperative in the Sahel has the financial model to sustain a system. We can. Here is what we bring that no technology company can replicate.

🌍
01 —

500,000 farm relationships across 27 countries

Built over careers spanning Nestlé, Cargill, and sustainability platform work, this is not a prospect list — it is a trust network. A successful deployment in one community propagates organically to the next.

📊
02 —

Ground-truth data on 25,000 water-stressed farms

Georeferenced data on crop types, farm economics, climate profiles, and water stress levels. Every assessment starts from facts on the ground, not from a lab projection.

🔬
03 —

Field validation the whole industry needs

We deploy prototypes across our farm network under documented real-world conditions. That performance data advances the entire sector — and we share it openly with technology partners and funders.

🤝
04 —

A commitment to honest brokering

We will tell a community when a technology will not work in their conditions. We will recommend a competitor's product if it is the right fit.
No commission. No hype. Just what works.

The roadmap

Six months to first deployment.

A disciplined phased approach — narrow geography, single technology, obsessive measurement — before scaling. This is how trust is built and how the sector proves itself.

Month 1

Triage & Cluster Analysis

Overlay humidity, climate, and water-stress data across 25,000 identified sites. Identify the 200–500 best-matched locations for current technology. Select one country, one climate zone, one community as the pilot target.

Month 2

Vendor Selection & Partnership

Engage 2–3 proven vendors with pilot cluster data. Negotiate preferred pricing and co-development terms. Select the best-fit water harvesting technology for the pilot site conditions.

Month 3–4

Funding & Logistics

Identify development finance co-investment (IFAD, Swiss SDC, bilateral aid programs). Coordinate import and installation logistics. Establish a cooperative ownership model to ensure long-term maintenance capacity.

Month 5–6

Deploy, Measure, Document

Install 5–10 systems with rigorous instrumentation: daily water yield, energy consumption, cost per unit, maintenance events, community satisfaction. This data is the foundation for scale — and for MOF pilot partnerships in 2026.

Our commitment

No system
without field proof.

Every client we work with will know exactly what they are deploying, what conditions it requires, and what it will deliver — including an honest "not yet" when the technology is not ready for their situation. We test every system locally before we put our name on it.

⚖️

Technology-agnostic assessment — no vendor affiliation

🧪

Every system locally piloted before recommendation

📈

Documented real-world performance data, always

🚫

No commission-driven recommendations, no PhD dreams
