Our vision

Practical technology.
Sustainable purpose.

SwedHydroTech aims to develop practical, sustainable technologies that support water conservation and resource-efficient agriculture.

SwedHydroTech is a sustainable technology initiative based in Sweden, grounded in research on hydrology, groundwater and environmental systems.

Research-based
Every recommendation is grounded in data and models.
Original work
We develop our own solutions alongside our research.
Sustainable by design
Solutions built to last for generations.
Clear communication
Complex systems, explained plainly.
Responsible disclosure
Technical details shared only under agreement.

Science first

Every solution we pursue begins with research: measuring water, modelling it, and testing what it will be tomorrow.

Measure

Field data, monitoring and measured observations form the foundation of every study.

Model

Groundwater, surface-water and scenario models, tested against physical assumptions and real data.

Innovate

Research findings guide new, practical solutions, developed and tested step by step before they reach the field.

Our first innovation

Sustainable Floating
Water-Surface Protection

Concept stage

An early-stage sustainable technology concept exploring modular solutions designed to reduce water loss through evaporation while allowing rainfall to replenish stored water. The concept is undergoing further development and requires prototype testing and technical validation.

Focus areas

Precision for every drop.

01

Water resource assessment

Groundwater and surface-water studies, water balances and scenario modelling for informed decisions.

02

Water scarcity solutions

Strategies to reduce losses, protect reservoirs and secure supply in water-stressed regions.

03

Agricultural water resilience

Irrigation planning, on-farm storage and drought preparedness for productive, sustainable farming.

04

Environmental & water quality

Environmental assessment, water quality evaluation and clear reporting for authorities and investors.

05

Smart city water systems

Urban water planning, stormwater management and data-driven monitoring for liveable cities.

06

Climate adaptation advisory

Risk analysis and adaptation roadmaps for floods, droughts and a changing hydrological future.

Research

Evidence before answers.

Hydrogeology

Groundwater systems

Numerical groundwater-flow modelling and particle tracking to understand recharge, flow paths and travel times.

Hydrology

Lakes, rivers & reservoirs

Water-balance and scenario models of withdrawal, climate and ecological effects on surface water.

Data science

Statistics & trends

Regression, trend analysis and GIS to turn long-term observations into reliable decisions.

Collaboration

Academic partnerships

Open to joint research and scientific publication with universities and research institutes.

Where we work

From field to city.

Agriculture

Resilient farms, secure harvests.

Our work explores how growers can understand their water, plan storage and irrigation, and prepare for dry seasons, so productivity and sustainability go together.

Smart cities

Cities that work with water.

From stormwater to green infrastructure, we study how urban water systems can become efficient, safe and ready for the future.

Climate resilience

“The strength of a society is measured by how well it manages its water in its hardest years.”

About us

Water research, innovation & education.

SwedHydroTech is a sustainable technology initiative based in Sweden, working where water research, innovation and education meet.

We combine three activities: developing our own sustainable technology concepts, providing research-based consulting, and teaching hydrology, groundwater modelling and GIS.

Our work builds on expertise in groundwater modelling, hydrology, water quality assessment and spatial analysis, applied to water scarcity, agriculture and climate adaptation.
