SMART RAINWATER SOLUTIONS FOR LARGE-SCALE DECENTRALISED WATER SUPPLY

Societal Challenge & Market

by 2050, 60% of the world’s population is projected to face freshwater shortages as demand for freshwater intensifies across multiple sectors, including manufacturing, electricity generation, agriculture, and domestic use (IPCC). By 2030, global water demand is expected to surpass available supply by 40%, amplifying water scarcity issues globally. This surge in water demand, coupled with the effects of climate change, is intensifying the disparity between regions with excessive rainfall and those experiencing severe droughts. In Europe, 11% of countries already suffer from water scarcity, with projections indicating this could increase to 30% by 2030 as climate impacts worsen. Despite these pressures, there remains a significant gap in the market: scalable, cost-effective providing reliable, high-quality water resources for cities and industries are urgently needed.

Solution

FieldFactors‘ BlueBloqs technology uses nature-based biofiltration and infiltration principles to capture, treat and store rainwater underground during wet periods, making it available as a reliable freshwater source during droughts. Remote monitoring enables precise data collection and quality control. The plug-and-play system reduces costs in both rainwater discharge and potable water use, serving applications including irrigation, fountains and industrial processes. FieldFactors holds multiple patents and awards and is well positioned for growth in the emerging rainwater management sector.
