We are pleased to announce our Silver Sponsorship of The Groundwater Project, a global philanthropic initiative dedicated to addressing the world’s growing freshwater crisis through education and knowledge sharing.
Groundwater represents 99% of the planet’s liquid freshwater and supplies nearly half of the world’s drinking water. Despite its critical role, groundwater remains widely under-recognised and often mismanaged. Addressing this challenge requires greater awareness, stronger technical expertise, and broader access to high-quality educational resources.
The Groundwater Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit organisation committed to advancing global understanding of groundwater. It provides free, high-quality educational materials in multiple languages, supporting learners from school level through to experienced hydrogeologists. Since its inception, the initiative has published nearly 100 books and reached more than 3 million readers worldwide.
Through this sponsorship, we support the expansion of accessible groundwater education and the development of technical capabilities needed to manage groundwater resources effectively. This partnership aligns with the industry’s growing need to strengthen hydrogeological expertise as global demand for water security continues to rise.
Our commitment to the groundwater sector is grounded in engineering solutions that support well integrity, hydrogeological testing, and environmental remediation. We recognise the essential role of knowledge, innovation, and collaboration in sustaining global water resources.
As part of our ongoing commitment to the groundwater industry, we offer a range of proven solutions designed to support the complete lifecycle of groundwater projects. These include HydroFORM Liner™, Submersible Pump Packer, and DuraFRAC® Hydro upporting well completion, rehabilitation, and hydraulic fracturing applications.
For permeability testing, our solution suite includes the Standard Wireline Packer Systems (SWiPS®), STX-60, and Portable Digital Flow Skid. Together, these systems deliver accurate data acquisition, controlled testing conditions, and reliable groundwater analysis.
The global water crisis is fundamentally a groundwater challenge. In many regions, groundwater is the only reliable source of fresh water during periods of drought. However, the knowledge required to manage this resource effectively has historically been limited by access barriers and insufficient educational infrastructure.
The Groundwater Project addresses this gap by making world-class groundwater knowledge freely available to a global audience. Led by Dr. John Cherry, recipient of the 2020 Stockholm Water Prize, and supported by more than 1,000 volunteer experts, the organisation continues to play a critical role in building global groundwater capacity.
We are proud to support this mission and contribute to advancing groundwater knowledge worldwide.
