Preliminary water security assessment

In this new AI era,water is the new oil.
Discover what’s beneath your land.

Satellite data, geophysics, and AI-assisted analysis now make water discoveries possible that simply didn’t exist a generation ago. Before you commit more capital to another well, AquaterreX helps qualified landowners evaluate whether their property may warrant a deeper study.

Before you drill, know more

Water uncertainty can put expansion plans, operations, and land value at risk. The first move should be a better decision–not another guess.

The cost of guessing

The most expensive well is the one drilled without enough information.

A dry or low-flow well can mean more than a bad drilling decision. It can tie up capital, delay a plan, increase pumping or hauling costs, and weaken the long-term utility of valuable land.

01

Capital at risk

Every drill decision carries cost, delay, and uncertainty. The wrong location makes every dollar work harder.

02

Operations constrained

Water uncertainty can limit crop, livestock, expansion, and resilience planning when a decision needs to move.

03

Land value exposed

A more dependable water strategy can strengthen the long-term usefulness and optionality of the property.

“I’ve drilled 12 dry holes, and I’m done with it.”
Texas landowner inquiry, May 2026 – as published by AquaterreX

The question is no longer “Can I afford another well?”
It is “Can I afford to guess?”

How the technology sees water

Five data layers. One picture of what’s under the ground.

AquaterreX’s trademarked Deep Seated Water Technology™ fuses remotely sensed geospatial data in GIS systems with proprietary, AI-assisted analysis–then verifies priority targets on site with patented seismic and electro-resistivity instruments before a drill location is ever considered.

  • L1

    Multiband satellite imagery

    Surface signatures across spectral bands.

  • L2

    Magnetic survey data

    Structural patterns beneath the surface.

  • L3

    Gravity survey data

    Density contrasts that shape water movement.

  • L4

    Gamma-ray radiometric data

    Mineral and lithology indicators.

  • L5

    Digital elevation datasets

    Terrain, drainage, and recharge context.

The deliverable reads like a photograph of what is happening under the ground–and a shallow aquifer is not the whole story. Drilling even a hundred yards from the obvious spot can mean a very different outcome, which is why targets are verified in the field before anyone drills.

Methodology as published at aquaterrex.com/our-technology

A better first decision

Not another guess. A staged water-intelligence process.

Each phase produces a defined deliverable and earns the next one. You always know what you receive, what it costs to go deeper, and what AquaterreX does not do.

Water Security Assessment

A no-cost preliminary desktop review for approved properties: your water challenge; an initial assessment of water potential; and a clear recommendation–proceed, hold, or investigate further.

Current offer
I

Deepen the view

Multicomponent geospatial study

A paid, property-specific technical study that narrows areas of interest and identifies potential groundwater sources–delivered as a complete written report, typically within a few weeks.

II

Validate in the field

Field verification & wellbore siting

A specialist field team surveys priority targets on site with patented instrumentation, working to pinpoint the drilling locations; depth to water; thickness of water bearing layers; and estimated flow rates.

AquaterreX provides water-location intelligence and field validation. Drilling, permitting, water rights, construction, water-quality testing, and sustainable-yield determinations require separate qualified estimates.

Built for high-stakes water decisions

The work must stand up long before a drill rig arrives.

Public water-utility engagement

Public El Paso Water records show AquaterreX was engaged for remote analysis and on-site field work in 2025, followed by approval of additional work across five areas of interest.

B

New Mexico farm well

AquaterreX reports a well on a 2,160-acre New Mexico property produced 1,200 gallons per minute in a 24-hour test at a 654-foot depth.

C

West Texas farm well

AquaterreX publishes a West Texas case in which a two-phase survey preceded “a well producing 900 gallons per minute–exactly where and as predicted.”

D

Declining-yield county

In Union County, New Mexico–where local well records showed a steady 50-year decline in yields–AquaterreX reports its located well delivered over 1,300 gallons of fresh water per minute.

In their words

What landowners say after the water comes in.

“It is amazing to peer into the unknown that lies miles beneath our feet, and then be able to proceed with laser-like precision in identifying the naturally occurring water pathways… This greatly mitigates the risk of traditional drilling.”
L.M., landowner, Central Texas
“In each case the bores were successful and the information supplied was accurate in regards to location, water quality, and depth.”
Mr. H, landowner, NSW Australia
“It was a wonderful relief to find good water after 6 dusty, dry holes [drilled by others].”
Charles Smith, landowner, Minaki, Australia

Straight answers

The questions serious owners ask first.

A staged, qualification-gated process invites fair questions. Here are the honest answers.

What does the Phase 0 assessment include, and what does it cost?

Phase 0 is a preliminary desktop review provided at no cost for qualified properties. It includes a structured intake of your property context and water challenge, an initial assessment of water potential, a clear recommendation – proceed, hold, or investigate further – and, where the indicators support it, a recommended path into a tailored Phase I study. It is a screening step, not a guarantee that water will be found.

How is this different from a dowser or a general site survey?

AquaterreX publishes a defined, staged methodology: remotely sensed geospatial data – multiband satellite imagery, magnetic, gravity, gamma-ray radiometric, and digital elevation datasets – processed in GIS systems with proprietary techniques, then verified on site with patented seismic and electro-resistivity instruments before any drill location is considered. Every phase produces a defined deliverable you can evaluate.

What do Phase I and Phase II cost?

Phase I and Phase II are custom-scoped based on the property, the water objective, and what the Phase 0 review indicates. If Phase 0 supports going deeper, you receive a written two-tier proposal covering both phases before any commitment.

What happens if the indicators are not there?

Phase 0 returns a probability read, not a promise. If the desktop indicators do not support further work, AquaterreX tells you that – before you commit study or drilling capital. That discipline is the point of the staged process.

Is the assessment really free?

For qualified properties, yes. AquaterreX publishes the written preliminary groundwater assessment as a $1,500 value, offered at no cost to landowners with 500+ acres, with a limited number available each month. Qualification exists so the technical team’s time goes to properties where the assessment can actually be useful.

Who sees my property information?

Qualification details are used to assess property fit and route the right first conversation. Do not submit sensitive documents through this form; a project specialist can request them under an appropriate engagement if the project advances.
