Resources.

Aquifer delineation, recharge zone mapping, and groundwater targeting for national water security programs — built on airborne EM, magnetic, and gravity workflows tuned to KSA's deep-basin hydrogeology.

The Sector

Water security as a national strategic priority.

Saudi Arabia is one of the most water-stressed countries on Earth. Sustainable groundwater management — across municipal supply, agricultural irrigation, and industrial demand — depends on accurate sub-surface characterisation that conventional ground survey can't deliver at programme scale.

Airborne EM is the workhorse method for aquifer mapping at scale — imaging conductivity to 400 m depth and resolving the contrast between freshwater zones, brackish/saline boundaries, and confining layers.

We combine EM with magnetic and gravity datasets to add structural context — fault networks that control recharge and connectivity — and deliver ranked drill-site recommendations with predicted water quality and confidence bands.

Sector Challenges

What we solve.

Dry-well risk

EM imaging dramatically reduces blind-drilling risk across arid basins.

Salinity mapping

Conductivity contrasts separate freshwater zones from brackish/saline.

Aquifer structure

Magnetic + gravity define fault networks that control recharge.

Deep palaeo-aquifers

TDEM systems image conductivity contrasts at 200-400 m depth.

Sustainable abstraction

Aquifer thickness + recharge mapping inform long-term yield estimates.

Cross-agency reporting

Audit-traceable outputs aligned to MEWA + national water-strategy frameworks.
