Footprint
6 ft × 4 ft skid
We bring reliable safe drinking water solutions to rural communities around the world.
Water X develops and finances community safe-water systems, deploying the OASIS Box and converting the verified impact into Gold Standard carbon credits. Product is what we deliver. Carbon finance is how it sustains itself.
The problem and the solution
Across many rural communities, dependable access to safe drinking water is still out of reach. That unmet, or suppressed, demand is the starting point for everything we do.
The OASIS Box is a deployable safe drinking water system designed for these communities. Once installed, it delivers a steady supply of clean water and is built to be monitored, serviced, and verified to a recognised international standard, so the benefit it creates can be measured rather than assumed.
Clear roles keep the system running and the impact credible.
What we do
Water X takes safe-water programmes from first concept to verified carbon credit, and advises the partners building alongside us. For now we go deep on one thing rather than wide across many. Water is not one of the things we do; it is the thing we do.
We originate, structure, and operate Gold Standard Safe Drinking Water programmes end to end, from methodology and community consultation through to verified issuance and credit sale.
NGOs, governments, and developers who want to bring their own safe-water or community project to a recognised standard draw on the same team that runs our flagship programme.
One sector, done to standard, rather than a little of everything. Water is where our methodology, team, and track record live.
Every engagement, whether we develop it or advise it, is structured to survive independent Gold Standard validation and verification.
We are not theorising. A registered programme under verification in Pakistan is the reference every recommendation is grounded in.
The hardware
Every deployment runs on the OASIS Nano, a containerised, solar-direct reverse-osmosis system engineered as one 6 ft × 4 ft skid. It is what makes the water safe, and what makes the impact measurable.
The Nano treats brackish and chemically contaminated feedwater up to 1,600 ppm TDS, delivering 10,000 litres of safe drinking water a day on just 1.1 kW of solar, with no grid connection and no fossil-fuel back-up.
It is built and pre-commissioned before it ships, installs in a single day on site, and is monitored over LTE and satcom from the moment it is switched on, feeding live telemetry to the WaterHub dashboard that underpins our digital MRV.
5 µm sediment → carbon → UF → NF/RO → 254 nm UVSolar array, four-stage filtration and five metered taps in one rugged, wheeled cabinet — monitored to the litre.
| Contaminant | Typical input | Output | Removal | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total dissolved solids (TDS) | up to 1,600 ppm | < 50 ppm | > 95% reduction | WHO < 600 ppm guideline |
| Fluoride (F⁻) | up to 5 mg/L | < 0.5 mg/L | ≥ 90% rejection across NF/RO | WHO 1.5 mg/L max |
| Arsenic (As) | up to 200 µg/L | < 10 µg/L | > 95% rejection (As V) | WHO 10 µg/L max |
| Nitrate (NO₃-N) | up to 50 mg/L | < 5 mg/L | ~90% rejection | WHO 11 mg/L (as N) |
| Iron / Manganese | up to 3 mg/L | < 0.3 mg/L | Sediment + carbon polish | Aesthetic / scaling control |
| Microbial (E. coli, viruses) | Surface & shallow groundwater | Non-detect | UF (~0.01 µm) + 254 nm UV | WHO drinking-water standard |
Higher-salinity sources: for feedwater above 1,600 ppm or heavy fluoride/arsenic loads, the OASIS Community RO sibling extends the same architecture to 3,000 ppm and beyond, on the same WaterHub controller and chassis.
Scroll through the filtration core, from raw source water to five safe taps, one stage at a time.
The model
Providing safe drinking water that was previously out of reach creates a measurable benefit. Under the Gold Standard Safe Drinking Water methodology, that benefit can be issued as carbon credits, and the revenue sustains the programme and funds the next deployment. Four steps, each auditable.
Talk to usWe install OASIS Nano systems in communities where the need for safe water is real but unmet. Each unit is commissioned, geolocated, and connected to the network before the first litre is drawn.
From day one, digital flow meters and sensors record real usage against the Gold Standard Safe Drinking Water methodology, building the continuous, auditable record that robust MRV demands.
Accredited third-party auditors validate the programme design and verify the measured impact. No credit is issued until that evidence stands up independently, on paper and in the field.
Verified credits are issued to the registry and sold to buyers. The revenue sustains operations, services the systems, and funds the next community, closing the loop.
Track record
Water X builds on a programme already delivering at scale. Across the group and its delivery partners, the OASIS Box is a deployed fleet, not a prototype.
Where the OASIS Box is deployed
On the figures: deployed-fleet totals reflect the wider group and its delivery partners (incl. Hydrosun). Water X’s own flagship programme is registered and under verification in Pakistan. Marker locations are indicative at country level.
Digital MRV
Credits are only as trustworthy as the data behind them. Our Climate-AI system, OASIS Link, turns every OASIS Box into a continuously monitored, independently auditable source of evidence, the digital backbone of our monitoring, reporting, and verification.
AI models read IoT sensor data, flow rates, pump efficiency and battery health, to predict equipment failure before it happens. Reinforcement learning schedules service to minimise downtime and cost.
Anomaly detection continuously watches TDS, microbial contamination and pH. Automated alerts flag contamination risk to operators, so response is immediate rather than reactive.
Machine learning weighs GIS and population data to place OASIS Boxes where demand is highest, then adjusts supply dynamically as that demand shifts.
A solar-powered telemetry unit inside every box streams water quality, flow and pump health over cellular — the evidence layer behind every litre.
Hardware, connectivity and cloud software feed one datalake, visualised in Power BI, so every claim we make to an auditor traces back to a timestamped, geotagged measurement.
On the figures: efficiency percentages are design targets for the Climate-AI system as it is rolled out across the fleet.
Indicators it emits · for funded & results-based buyers
OASIS Link doesn’t just read a meter. It emits the specific indicators that results-based programmes, water standards and impact funders already oblige you to report upward — at the device level, timestamped and tamper-evident. The monitoring you’d pay for separately is the same stream that unlocks the disbursement or the credit.
| Indicator | Who already requires it | OASIS Link |
|---|---|---|
| Functionality & uptime | “Sustainably functioning water service” — World Bank · SURWASH | Live Reports every 2h, per device |
| Litres delivered → LPCD | “Litres per capita per day” — India · Jal Jeevan Mission | Live Metered flow + population |
| Continued / sustained use | “Beneficiaries still using the source” — FCDO WASH Results · Gold Standard | Live Daily active-use days |
| Hours of supply / outage | “Outage duration” — India · Jal Jeevan Mission | Live Cadence + flow gaps |
| GPS-verified location | “Location via satellite / GPS device” — Gold Standard | Live GPS per reading + satellite check |
| Water quality (TDS / EC) | “Point-of-use water quality” — Punjab PRSWSSP · WHO | Live TDS on device; microbial via lab |
| Revenue collection rate | “Consumers billed and paid” — Kenya · Water Sector Trust Fund | Paired With OASIS ATM |
| Collection efficiency | State performance action plans — Nigeria · SURWASH | Paired With OASIS ATM |
| O&M cost recovery from tariff | “75% of O&M from tariff” — Punjab PRSWSSP | Paired With OASIS ATM |
| Non-revenue water | “NRW reduction targets” — SURWASH · Kenya WSTF | Paired With a source meter |
| Microbial quality compliance | “Samples passing microbial standard” — Gold Standard (SDWS 18) | Roadmap Lab samples / bio-sensor slot |
| Free chlorine residual | “Chlorine residual monitoring” — Jal Jeevan Mission · UNHCR | Roadmap Reserved sensor input |
Device-level, not sampled aggregates. Verra’s 2025 revision requires records “for each distributed device”, and Gold Standard sets 95%-confidence / 10%-margin thresholds. Monthly spreadsheet totals satisfy neither — a per-device, timestamped, append-only stream is built for exactly that bar.
OASIS Link vs conventional monitoring
Most water programmes track delivery with spreadsheets and the occasional site visit. OASIS Link measures every litre and locks it into an audit-ready record.
| Manual reads / spreadsheets | OASIS Link dMRV | |
|---|---|---|
| Data collection | Site visits, manual reads | Continuous per-unit telemetry over cellular |
| Integrity | Editable spreadsheets | Append-only, SHA-256 tamper-evident ledger |
| Verification | Hard to audit | Audit-ready — traceable end to end for a VVB |
| Coverage | Sample checks | Every litre, every unit |
| Carbon | Not credit-ready | The MRV backbone for Gold Standard credits |
| Access | Siloed files | Multi-tenant, co-branded portal |
Our flagship programme is registered and under verification in rural Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. It is the proof that the model works in the field, not just on paper, delivering safe water to communities while building a credible, auditable climate asset.
Project identifiers, locations, and partner detail are shared with serious counterparties on request.
