Actual Picture of Site @ Hatta Valley, UAE

WaterQuest is an eco-conscious social enterprise based on AI driven virtual prospecting program developed over last 40 years.

We deploy our technology to map, identify, develop & manage decentralized,

Renewable perennial water sources for drinking water, irrigation and industrial use

WaterQuest solution is a combination of 3 key Innovative components that enable us to access the crustal water through water veins/underground rivers

1.  Proprietary Global Hydrogeological Data sets 2.  Artificial Intelligence driven Virtual Prospecting System 3.  Eco-conscious Drilling Process

Oceans cover almost 68% of the earth surface and the oceanic crust has fault-lines, fissures, fractures, through which the sea water naturally percolates to deeper recesses – where temperatures could range 500-800oC –transforming sea water into steam using geothermal heat – the steam which is under very high pressure is able to rise to shallower zones and starts to condense into moving water sources - Water Veins or Underground Rivers. The nature of water veins flows is trans-continental. CRUSTAL WATER: These water veins are naturally desalinated, self-replenishing and self-recharging water sources typically found at the depth between 300-800 meters, once extracted provides a perennial output without impacting underground water table.

W A T E R F O R A L L WaterQuest Hydroresources WaterQuest Solution(s):

•  Water 4 Life: Create 1.4 – 3 MLD* Drinking water sources alongwith complete quality monitoring and management systems in areas that are drought prone or with contaminated ground water closer to consumption impacting 16,000 – 40,000 people from single source in 90 days timeframe. In addition to Parallel/Alternate/Feeder Water supply network

•  Water 4 Food: Create Decentralized Micro water grids by constructions of

Underground/Over Ground Reservoirs & WaterQuest wells in cluster of local farm lands alongwith efficient water use technologies – Water Banks

•  Water 4 Work: Create 1.4 – 3 MLD* High quality Water Sources for Industrial

use and Utilities closer to consumption and with minimal operations cost thereby supporting SDGs, as well as harnessing Geothermal energy /air-conditioning and other downstream activities from thermal veins

*MLD - Million Liters per Day


Using WaterQuest technology we can create micro grid for water distribution with a decentralized water source and a reservoir on fallow land parcels based on pattern of land use to account for water needed and available to support agricultural production. During water lease periods a grower's strategy, for example, might include: • substituting less water intensive crops for water intensive crops, • grazing livestock in previously irrigated fields to encourage biological activity, • spot irrigating to reduce water use • integrating drip irrigation technology to reduce water use • timing irrigation to reduce water use, • strategic management of riparian areas, and fallowing fields. We provide novel products like Phyto-hydroabsorbents that absorb and release water to roots over longer period of time and thus reducing water losses due to evaporation in the soil. Water4Food aims to promote sustainable agriculture by ensuring water source development and efficient usage.

Water Bank(s): Water 4 Food Solution

W A T E R F O R A L L WaterQuest Hydroresources Engagement Model(s)

•  Turnkey Water Source Development: WaterQuest intends to provide complete turnkey solutions, in the water value chain by using proprietary virtual prospecting program for water prospecting, accessing and handing over the well to the client for a fixed fee for each source. Avg 1.5 – 2.5 Million USD per well.

•  Built, Operate, Transfer and Management: For specific institutional needs

we can customize our business model over a time period on where we sign Water Purchase / Extraction agreement for 5,10,15,25 years, with Private Trusts / Infrastructure BOOT Operators as Consortium partners.

•  Developing & Managing Water Banks: Identify fallow/less productive land for

Small holder farmers in drought affected areas, create water source and put micro irrigation network and monetise the supply on annuity or quantity basis.
