Our main goal is to support communities in the management of their groundwater resource.
Observe
Anyone can hand measure groundwater levels using their phone and our
Groundwater Global app.
Collect
Institutions collect community measurements (marked public by users) for any area in the world and collect their own measurements from their own domain.
Inform
Insights and information can be transferred from institutions and academics back to the communities.
We exploit the world-class Groundwater Global app.
Groundwater Global Foundation brings to use several cutting-edge python algorithms. The tunes and the algorithms that analyze recordings have been under development since 2023 making use of the latest available technology.
With the help of The World's Most Advanced Open Source Relational Database, the central Groundwater Global PostgreSQL database will be able to handle measurements coming in from all over the world.
The Groundwater Global app is an Ionic Angular cross-platform app. This means the exact same app can be delivered on all different platforms, such as Android, iOS and other platforms.
The Groundwater Global webserver follows the Python Django framework. Leveraging the power of Python, groundwater data can be readily analyzed to inform users.

Private individual
We consider every private individual to be a client, although we do not want to charge private individuals for our services.
Institution
'Institution' refers to any client organization. In other words, all clients except private individuals.
Community data
Community data consists of observations done by private individuals. It can only be collected from locations that are geo-referenced and have been explicitly marked public by their respective owner.
Professional data
Professional data consists of observations done by water professionals - employees of client institutions. These observations can be done in a private project environment and therefore do not necessarily have to be public for collection.
Every 'private individual' is considered a client.
'Institution' means any organization. In other words, all except private individuals.
Communities free of charge
The key aim of the Groundwater Global Foundation is to be able to offer our services to communities around the world - every single individual. The essence is that all can keep track of their crucial groundwater resource.
Institutional prices
Institutions are charged for our services. This is required to make the Groundwater Global Foundation a sustainable undertaking. Data collection rates are based on the number of locations that have been measured in the billable month.
Our view
We aim to not limit the amount of measurements taken. We would advise weekly measurements overall and maybe more regular measurements in times of drought.
The private project environment gives more control over the measurements to be collected. However, we wish to stimulate the use of community measurements. Therefore we offer the collection of community data for a significantly lower price.
