2. About us
• More than 60 years of combined experience
in groundwater management
• Participated by Suez Environnement
• 100% focused on developing groundwater
management technology
• (R)evolutionizing groundwater resources
planning and management by introducing
new technologies
• Enabling proactive and participatory
groundwater management
PROVIDING GROUNDWATER
VISIBILITY AND PREDICTABILITY

3. Current situation – technology not addressing
Overexploited aquifers - drought
Overexploited aquifers – seawater
intrusion Salinization of irrigated land
Mining activities - contamination
Economic, environmental and political impact

4. Current situation - technology
• Existing technology is not meeting today’s
demanding integrated groundwater resources
planning and management requirements
o Proactive
o Real-time
o Collaborative
• Planning, management and collaboration
tools are not integrated
• Groundwater models are critical but
o Difficult to update – become obsolete
o Too hard to use by non-modelers
• Lacks visibility and predictability
• Direct impact on groundwater resources
sustainability

5. • Data Management
o Real time data access
o Advanced statitistical functionality
o Exporting capabilities
• Aquifer Resources Management
o Budget Management
o 3D views
o Automated Model Updating
• Sustainability Management
o “What-if” scenarios
o Sensitivity analysis
• Transparency / Collaboration
o Harmonized data sources
o Common decision support framework

8. Hydromodel Host IGWM Platform™
Now it is easy to…
Assess impact of
changing land use
Understand aquifer
response to climate change
Assess the impact of
future demand
scenarios on the aquiferDetect
illegal/unaccounted
for extractions
Understand
impact of artificial
recharge in a
specific point
Calculate extraction effects and
maximum extraction volumes to
ensure sustainability
Assess impact of a
hydraulic barrier
Identify sources of
contamination

9. Hydromodel Host IGWM Platform™
Competitive Advantage
The only cloud based
integrated groundwater
management solution
designed for planners,
managers and aquifer
users delivering real-time
visibility and accurate
predictability

10. Hydromodel Host IGWM Platform™
Benefits
• Real time visibility and predictability over
groundwater resources
• Single “source of truth” for groundwater
regulators, planners, managers and users
• Groundwater models
o Are updated automatically real time
o Become management tools
o Obsolete models become an asset again
• Planners, managers and users can easily
assess quantitative and qualitative impact
of decisions – run “what-if” scenarios
• Cost savings – between 5X-10X over
traditional groundwater management
processes

11. Use cases – “What-if” scenarios
Assess the impact of future demand scenarios on the aquifer
Chile - Alto Mapocho Aquifer

12. Use cases – 3D Visualization
Assess impact of a hydraulic barrier
Spain – Llobregat Delta

13. Use cases - Budget
Calculate extraction effects and maximum extraction volumes to
ensure sustainability
Chile - Maipo-Mapocho Aquifer

14. Use cases – Field data
Identify sources of contamination
Chile - Maipo-Mapocho Aquifer

15. Use cases – Field Data
Understand impact of artificial recharge in a specific point
Israel – Recharge of the Shafdan Aquifer
