Humanitarian
Strata's mission and technology is built upon a strong humanitarian foundation. The founders developed this technology with the main purpose of bringing accessible clean water to the most stressed and impoverished nations in the most cost effective way possible.
Our mission
Our company's foundation and motivation to develop our MRD technology was to help make water accessible to everyone in need in the quickest manner with the lowest cost. We believe access to clean water should be a basic human right and still due to lack of technology and resources 1.1 billion people lack access to water and 2.7 billion people experience water scarcity at least one month a year. This number is sadly growing and it is expected that by 2025 two-thirds of the world's population may be facing water shortages. Therefore we pledge significant portions of our commercial profits to help meet this need and have completed countless successful projects in some of the most water stressed nations.
We developed MRD in a way that data can be accessed with unprecedented speed, and accuracy and most importantly remotely so that we can identify targets in the most affected and hard to reach areas where traditional surveys are simply not possible and simply the areas are too large for this and countless unsuccessful drilling attempts
Help to self help
In addition to the clear need of water resources worldwide. We also believe providing infrastructure to affected communities and a lifelong sustainability is equally as important as the resource itself. Due to the current worldwide fragility we believe creating self sustainability can be the solution to make a lasting difference.
Efficient management of water sources and improved water supply increase the economic growth of countries and help reduce poverty.
Besides providing drillable water targets our mission is heavily focused around not only helping but creating a model which helps in order to self help, by providing key infrastructures, jobs and workable resources that can stimulate growth and sustainability through agriculture and water based energy creation.
Case Studies
Sierra Leone 1
Lack of clean water (and in particular drinking water) is a major problem for the Republic of Sierra Leone and for sub-Saharan Africa more widely. The World Health Organization reports that almost 50% of the population of Sierra Leone do not have access to safe drinking water and that only 30% of people in the country’s northern region have access.
Working with our network of technical partners, we identified four previously unknown latent water resources located in rural areas of the country. Two of these were shown by our team to be underwater streams, each with
good flow rate and high level of purity, but the narrow width of both streams meant they could prove difficult to hit by drilling. Another was an underground lake, identified as having an estimated flow of 15,000 litres per hour of good quality water, but this resource was located in an environmentally sensitive area, inhabited by chimpanzees. The fourth resource, however, was an underground lake which the team identified
as being capable of producing up to 20,000 litres per hour of good quality water and which was also located at a site suitable for drilling and accessibility. When drilling was then carried out at this site, water was found as indicated by the team and the resource is now being used to supply local communities in the area.
Further case studies
In addition to Sierra Leone 1 stated above, we have conducted over 10 Successful humanitarian drillings worldwide; including, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Thailand, and Zambia, bringing clean water resources to more than 1 million people in need.
