Tackling South Africa's Day Zero crisis

Three years of inadequate rainfall caused dam levels to fall to 25% of capacity, and water was expected to drop to a critical-level of 13.5% capacity by April, 2018. Yet South Africa avoided a devastating water crisis. Here's how we helped.

We collaborated with SkyTEM and GEI Consultants to conduct airborne electromagnetic (AEM) field surveys for the California Department of Water Resources. A helicopter uses equipment to transmit electromagnetic waves to the earth to paint a digital picture of the terrain below the surface. The goal is to create detailed maps of the state’s high-and medium priority groundwater basins.
