# Aquacapt

> Field-tested atmospheric water harvesting consultancy based in Geneva, Switzerland.

Aquacapt assesses, pilots, and deploys proven atmospheric water harvesting (AWH)
systems across 27 countries for agricultural communities and NGOs. The company is
technology-agnostic, charges no vendor commission, and always conducts local field
pilots before recommending any system.

## Key facts

- Organisation type: Consultancy (not an equipment vendor)
- Headquarters: Geneva, Switzerland
- Languages: English, French, Spanish
- Network: 500,000 farms across 27 countries
- Water-stressed sites mapped: 25,000
- First deployment target: 2026
- Scale-up target: 2027–2028
- Geographic focus: Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America

## Technologies assessed

- Condensation systems (>60% RH) — proven, commercial now. Examples: Watergen GEN-350, Aquaria
- Hygroscopic panels / SOURCE Hydropanels (35–65% RH) — proven, commercial now
- Fog collection networks — emerging, proven in Chile, Morocco, Eritrea. Examples: CloudFisher, FogQuest
- Hydrogel-salt composites (25–50% RH) — pre-commercial, field-piloted (3.5–8.9 L/m²/day validated)
- MOF-based devices (>10% RH) — pilot stage, commercial target late 2026. Examples: Atoco, WaHa

## Approach

Aquacapt does not sell or represent any single vendor. Every engagement starts with
a field assessment of local humidity, climate, and water-stress data before any
technology is recommended — or ruled out. If no current technology is viable for a
given site, Aquacapt says so directly. Output: an honest technology match, or an
honest "not yet".

The six-month deployment roadmap:
- Month 1: Triage and cluster analysis across 25,000 water-stressed sites
- Month 2: Vendor selection and partnership negotiation
- Month 3–4: Development finance co-investment and logistics (IFAD, Swiss SDC)
- Month 5–6: Deployment, instrumentation, and documented performance data

## Why Aquacapt

- 500,000 farm relationships across 27 countries (Nestlé, Cargill, sustainability platform background)
- Ground-truth georeferenced data on 25,000 water-stressed farms
- Field validation data shared openly with technology partners and funders
- No commission-driven recommendations — technology-agnostic by design

## Context: the water crisis

- 2.2 billion people currently lack access to safe drinking water
- Agriculture accounts for 70% of global freshwater withdrawal
- The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry recognised MOF technology for water harvesting
- Industrial-scale MOF deployment is 12–24 months away

## Who Aquacapt works with

- Farm operators and agricultural cooperatives
- Development finance institutions (IFAD, bilateral aid programmes)
- Water technology companies seeking field deployment partners
- NGOs and humanitarian organisations
- Research institutions
