Game-Changing Technology for Optimized Water Efficiency
For 20 years, AQUA4D has been helping growers maximize their production with minimum possible resource use. Water penetrates better into soil micropores, nutrient uptake is improved, and salinity can be managed in a sustainable way. This is true Swiss efficiency: fusing nature with technology and empowering growers to get the most out of every drop.
Leveraging Cleantech to Regenerate Soils and Save Water
AQUA4D addresses the most pressing problems facing agriculture: water scarcity and land degradation. Our team of experienced agronomists help growers tackle a wide range of water management problems. Soils stay moist for longer, while minerals and fertilizers in irrigation water are better hydrated and dissolved. Growers in 40+ countries achieve the seemingly paradoxical: higher yields with less resources, while solving a range of persistent problems.
Customized Technology as a Service (TaaS) for Agriculture 4.0
Quantifying and adjusting is integral to maximizing the impacts of our technology: If you cannot measure it, you cannot manage it. Our technical teams the latest monitoring and IoT tools to track on-field developments in real time, then suggest adaptations to increase efficiencies and achieve the best results.
Swiss innovation for water-smart landscape irrigation
After 20 years of R&D and worldwide implementation, AQUA4D technology has a proven track record for increasing water efficiency and soil health in irrigated agriculture. Now this success is being replicated in landscape and turf irrigation. During periods of droughts, urban green areas and sports fields are often the first victims of water cutbacks. Thanks to this Swiss water treatment technology, soils can stay moist for longer – significantly reducing irrigation requirements.Supported by the latest 4.0 measurement tools, this Technology-as-a-Service (TaaS) cuts irrigation frequency by an average of 20%, ensuring urban areas stay green while optimizing resource use.
Growing more with less
With irrigated agriculture responsible for 70% of water withdrawals, increased efficiency here would go a long way to a more sustainable future while saving costs for growers. Due to the AQUA4D® effect on water molecules, soil stays moist for longer, bringing growers average water savings of 25-30% – or more when combined with other Ag 4.0 technologies. Our disruptive innovation entails a new paradigm of sustainable water management, decreasing resource input while simultaneously increasing yield output.
Restoring soils, regenerating lands
AQUA4D technology has a strong track record of solving soil salinity and regenerating lands, thanks to water-smart treatment which alters the behaviour of minerals in irrigation water. With salts leached below the root zone and no longer crystallizing on the surface, soil health is dramatically improved and plants can flourish to their full potential. Indeed, AQUA4D is the only technology on the market for managing salinity while using less water in the process. We enable continued irrigation with saline water without requiring energy-intensive desalination processes, chemicals or water-intensive flushing.
The world’s most efficient and sustainable desalination technology
AQUA4D efficiently dissolves any minerals in irrigation water, with salts leached below the rhizosphere. This makes it an all-in-one solution for dealing with salts in the water and in the soil. Our water-smart treatment subtly alters the minerals in irrigation water – salt is leached below the root zone and no longer crystallizes on the surface, thus improving both soil and plant health. This allows continued irrigation with poor quality or saline water, without resource-intensive desalination or chemicals.
Effective elimination of the elements which clog up irrigation systems
AQUA4D has both a preventive and curative influence on limescale and biofilm formation in irrigation networks. Due to the technology’s effect on water molecules and the minerals within, organic matter and limescale no longer adhere to surfaces and existing deposits are gradually eliminated. The result is free-flowing pipes and drippers, and longer-lasting and better performing water systems.
Increased nutrient absorption
AQUA4D is supremely effective at dissolving minerals and fertilizers in irrigation water. Plants can then more effectively absorb what they need, resulting in healthier plants, less fertilizers being applied and a sustainable approach to agriculture. With less chemicals ending up in the water cycle and the soil, this drives our mission for resource efficiency and the regeneration of lands through more efficient water treatment.
