Desert land is bought by the feddan and run off a well. The well's capacity is the real limit on the investment.
Investors in Reclaimed Land
For anyone putting capital into new land before planting it: measuring the well, the energy and the irrigation from day one, so the feasibility study rests on site data rather than a regional average.
The problem
-
The feasibility study rests on regional averages, and the gap between assumption and reality appears after the capital is spent.
-
The well's real capacity is unknown until the level drops in the first peak season.
-
The grid is far away, so diesel becomes the default and its cost eats the project's margin.
-
Managing remotely without data means depending entirely on a verbal report from site.
-
The bank wants measured operating indicators before the next tranche, and no system produces them.
What it delivers
-
A real drawdown curve for the well
Level logged every 15 minutes establishes how much can be abstracted this season without an irrecoverable drop.
-
Feasibility on the site's own figures
Recorded diesel use and measured head give the solar array size and the actual payback period.
-
Remote management on one dashboard
Every device reading in a single platform, permissioned per site, opened from a phone.
-
Operating indicators for the lender
A monthly report of cubic metres, running hours and pump efficiency, sent unasked.
Results
- Pump efficiency in kilowatt-hours per cubic metre lifted is the indicator that precedes failure by months.
- A monthly report of cubic metres, running hours and pump efficiency, sent unasked.
- Every site is handed over with a file: component datasheets, the calibration record and the spares policy.
Solutions
Groundwater & Well Management
Live monitoring of water table level, abstraction rate and pump efficiency, with an alert when the level declines persistently.
Solar-Powered Water Pumping
Converting irrigation pumps from diesel to solar, sized against real irrigation demand rather than the pump's nameplate rating.
Smart Irrigation & Water Rationing
Meters, soil-moisture probes and valve control that run drip irrigation from actual soil demand instead of a fixed schedule, with a monthly consumption report per plot.
Data Platform & Reporting
One platform that collects every device reading, presents it per site, and produces the monthly reports and financing files.
