About

Billions of us face a water scarce future due to climate change, declining aquifers, aging infrastructure, and wasteful consumption. Old responses — purely engineered supply augmentation – have become too expensive, inefficient, time consuming and increasingly ineffective.

Instead, AquaShares helps water agencies build resilience with innovative tech-enabled solutions that augment existing supplies with efficiency gains, often through broad stakeholder engagement.

Our solution adapts proven lessons of timeless water resilience strategies, ranging from the Kalahari Bushmen’s !xaro exchanges to Balinese subak to Arabian falaj. Nobel laureate Elinor Ostrom showed how such decentralized, self-organizing and rights-based frameworks could slow, stop and reverse water depletion and build enduring security.

Using these approaches as inspiration, we have developed innovative solutions to enable water agencies to rapidly and responsibly move to a more sustainable future.
