How We Help

Clean Drinking Water

Two layers of defense against waterborne disease — filtration and disinfection that prevent illness today, and predictive emergency water deployment before disasters strike. The most cost-effective interventions in global health.

Safe Drinking Water Projects →
Aquatic biogeochemistry remediation for mining-toxin pollution

Detoxifying Communities

Mercury, heavy metals, and cyanide from mining silently poison drinking water, fish, and farmland. We apply technical geochemistry to stop the pollution at the source and protect downstream communities.

Water Toxin Removal Projects →
Lake restoration and fishery revival through remote-sensing and limnology

Reviving Fisheries

Lake fisheries are essential for rural economies and dinner tables. When pollution and eutrophication collapse a fishery, we provide free, technical limnology consulting services to help them identify the problem and implement the most practical solution to revive their fishery and local economy.
