Funder, Corporate
From a 2030 commitment to a project designed to deliver 60 million litres a year in India.
The challenge
Microsoft pledged to be water positive by 2030. The harder part was finding credible projects in the basins where they were needed most, scattered across databases, cold introductions and informal networks.
How SWIM helped
SWIM cross referenced basin level water stress with active project pipelines worldwide. It surfaced a fundable opportunity in central India: a water stressed village of 16,000, four and a half kilometres from a processing facility with a recoverable water stream, and Botanical Water Technologies ready to install.
The outcome
In build through 2026. A 4.5 kilometre pipeline is being commissioned from the facility to Bela, with a Water ATM and RFID access at every household, designed to deliver sixty million litres a year, with delivery to be tracked litre by litre.
