Our Values are Fairness, Integrity, Respect and Commitment.

About AQUOR

AQUOR was founded in 2017 in order to develop and commercialise the technology of Subsurface Dam in response to the climate change impacts in Australia.

How a Subsurface Dam works

For a subsurface dam, a cut-off wall builds underground to dam up the groundwater flow in a porous aquifer thereby making an underground upstream behind the wall which is the reservoir of the subsurface dam, and the groundwater level rises to the top of the cut-off wall and overflows to the downstream.

Our Solution

AQUOR offers the subsurface dam as a new water supply infrastructure. The subsurface dam is a hydraulic structure which is constructed underground in a surrounded valley by hills to dam up groundwater and make underground non-evaporative basin.

The components of the subsurface dam are almost similar to the surface dam, including crest, overflow section, dam body, foundation, intake facilities, and flood control system.

The value propositions of the Subsurface Dam

Non-evaporative water storage as the reservoir of the subsurface dam is located underground

Resiliency against climate change impacts

Lower cost of operation and maintenance than the surface dam

Lower cost and time of construction than the surface dam

Sustaining the water supply

Minimal impact on the land use
