Our sectors

One technology. Six sectors.

The same bead, no power needed, adapted to the water problem in front of it. Each sector below pairs the problem, the solution and the measured result or reference.

Data centers

Water savings for AI cooling

  • ProblemAI cooling draws heavily on local water, against tightening water-neutrality obligations.
  • SolutionFund metered, in-basin water savings and account them under the WRIA™ / VWBA 2.0 model.
  • ResultA verifiable path to match measured cooling consumption and, at sufficient volume, to exceed it.

Vineyards & wine

Drought resilience for the vine

  • ProblemDrought and AOC constraints squeeze irrigation just as quality demands consistency.
  • SolutionMats suppress soil evaporation between vines, keeping more water in the root zone.
  • ResultCut irrigation 30–50% against a measured baseline; featured by the Porto Protocol.

Orchards & tree crops

Protect yield on less water

  • ProblemWide-spaced trees lose a large share of applied water to bare-soil evaporation.
  • SolutionMats laid along the irrigation lines hold moisture where roots can reach it.
  • ResultA California almond trial held up to 3× more soil moisture over a 75-day dry spell (RHST-reported).

Forestry & reforestation

Get young trees established

  • ProblemNew plantings fail at establishment when the surface dries before roots develop.
  • SolutionA moisture buffer around each seedling that works on its own through the first dry seasons.
  • ResultBetter establishment odds on less irrigation, the precondition for carbon and biodiversity outcomes.

Controlled-environment agriculture

Precision water, indoors

  • ProblemGreenhouse and indoor growers carry heavy water, energy and dehumidification costs.
  • SolutionA pH-neutral, inert, reusable substrate for hydroponic, aeroponic and container systems.
  • ResultCut water 30–50% vs baseline, lift yield ~5–15% in trials, reuse season after season.

Municipal & stormwater

Hold the water, clean the runoff

  • ProblemOpen storage evaporates away; contaminated runoff threatens the watershed.
  • SolutionFloating mats suppress reservoir evaporation; beads that need no power intercept and degrade hydrocarbons.
  • Result77–98% reservoir evaporation suppression; >90% hydrocarbon reduction in the Chambly Canal demonstration.
More applications

Other fields we cover

Outdoor potted crops

Berries, saplings, vines and climbing plants: mesh envelopes cover the topsoil to suppress evaporation.

Tree seedlings

Steady soil moisture around the root zone helps young seedlings establish on less water.

Reservoir covers

Floating mats reduce reservoir evaporation by 77% to 98%, depending on the number of layers.
