Aqua Plus began as a way for corporates to accelerate progress towards public water positive goals in response to the growing crisis around water scarcity. However, the benefits of local, transparent water stewardship at scale go far beyond sustainability. Rapidly and quantifiably replenishing water in public pipeline networks improves overall resilience and reduces multiple corporate risks from business continuity to reputation.
Build better communities Aqua Plus helps maintain access to fairly-priced water sustaining people, communities, opportunity and social mobility. Make progress on net zero It takes carbon to treat and transport water. Every unit saved by Aqua Plus prevents more GHG entering the atmosphere. Protect nature and biodiversity Aqua Plus reduces the need for water abstraction and so eases pressure on stressed water sources which sustain 40% of species.
Supply chain resilience Currently around 20% of companies face significant supply chain risks 1 . By making more water available locally, Aqua Plus sustains business and supply chain operations in water scarce areas.
Sustainable growth Experts estimate that water risk leaves around $300bn of global capital exposure 2 . Aqua Plus enhances water resilience which helps secure returns on investments and enables continued growth.
Social licence to operate Two in five G20+ areas have or are planning compulsory water disclosure 3 . Demonstrable action on a societal risk with Aqua Plus boosts social LTO, enhances brand value and eases Scope 4 reporting.

The magic of FIDO AI
What is FIDO AI? FIDO AI helps find the billions of litres of leaked water that never show above ground. Our advanced AI accurately detects, locates and sizes leaks by analyzing acoustic and kinetic data in any pipe network. FIDO delivers an accurate heatmap of leak activity, showing not only where to look but which leaks to repair first. Fixing leaks instantly makes more water available for people, businesses and nature.
“Business-as-usual approaches and traditional technological choices are insufficient to address the current water crises.” World Bank
Fixing the large ones first saves water faster.
Inside and outside the fence FIDO AI’s insight into the way water pipelines behave also offers multiple applications for water resource efficiency and risk management inside the fence. Validated data on network condition, site usage patterns and billing accuracy gives site managers increased visibility of risk on which to base maintenance and future investment.

About Aqua Plus
Benefits for corporate water programs
Aqua Plus is an ‘at scale’ water stewardship program with commercial foundations and contractually guaranteed results. We commit to delivering the validated volumetric water replenishment you need in return for financial support using FIDO AI on public water networks. As well as auditable improvements in long-term local water resilience, you get insight into the condition of the networks your operations rely on. This can help manage your business risk register and inform your longer term planning. Volumetric Water Benefit Accounting All Aqua Plus results are independently validated by experts from LimnoTech or Bluerisk using Volumetric Water Benefit Accounting (VWBA) 2.0 guidance. Under VWBA, water saved from leaks can be claimed for up to three years from the point of repair. Only savings which can be directly attributed to FIDO activity are counted.
Scalable Aqua Plus projects are easy to expand or combine to make impact at a watershed scale.
Commercially- driven We manage all the contractual relationships with the utility and our operations partner.
Transparent results Water savings are independently validated to Volumetric Water Benefit Accounting (VWBA) 2.0 guidance.
Local impact We only work with utilities our experts have assessed for technical suitability and potential water savings.
