Project overview

Seyrab Water Systems builds aquifer recharge systems which are IoT-enabled and strengthen long term water security, and help to solve other water scarcity challenges in Pakistan. 

The Challenge

Climate change brings many challenges when it comes to water, and as rainfall becomes increasingly variable and surface water supplies less reliable, governments, businesses and communities alike turn to groundwater as the solution. However, doing this without sustainable management, depletes aquifers, accelerates water insecurity and increases flood and drought risks. Pakistan is experiencing this issue first hand, with groundwater levels declining by approximately 1-2.5 meters per year in Islamabad and Lahore, and Quetta experiencing up to 6 meters loss per year. Despite these growing risks, groundwater systems remain largely unmanaged, with limited planning, monitoring and protection.

The Solution

Seyrab builds low-cost Smart Managed Aquifer Recharge (SMAR) systems that replenish aquifers by directing excess surface water underground during periods of surplus. Aquifers are treated as natural water storage reservoirs and seasonal excess water is transformed into a reliable resource strengthening long-term water security. The system combines recharge infrastructure with IoT-enabled dashboards that provide real-time monitoring, alerts, and groundwater accounting. It tracks performance indicators such as recharge volume, groundwater level response, water quality and overall system performance to verify environmental outcomes and support evidence-based decision making.
