Review environment. Protected staging requires sign-in. Checkout and payments are simulated; this is not the production service.

Three lenses. One clearer next step.

For consultants, hydrogeologists, developers, landowners and project teams considering further groundwater investigation. Understand the evidence, identify constraints and plan what to confirm before committing to field expenditure.

TR · Technical risk

Explore the hydrogeological setting, nearby groundwater records and technical drivers. See the screening score alongside its evidence and limitations, and identify the field investigation needed next.

A screening result, not a supply guarantee. Higher scores mean greater technical concern—not a probability of drilling success. Sustainable yield and water quality require site-specific testing.

RR · Regulatory readiness

Understand the screened water-use pathway, relevant activity reviews and missing project evidence. Bring the questions and next steps together for review by qualified practitioners and the relevant authorities.

Readiness is not approval. A screening match does not grant authorisation or establish lawful use. Registration, entitlement and other applicable requirements remain separate review matters.

FR · Financial planning

Compare lower-cost, central and higher-cost planning scenarios for initial investment, annual operation and major renewals. Review the assumptions, funding basis and conditional lifecycle costs together.

A conditional budget, not a quotation. Scenarios are not probabilities or guaranteed cost bounds. Costs depend on scope and delivery assumptions; requested demand is not verified water production.

From site context to a practical action plan.

A connected assessment workflow—with human judgement at the next decision.

01 · Define

Set the location, intended water use, demand and project facts. Identify what is known and what still needs confirmation.

02 · Assess

Bring spatial and environmental evidence together. Apply the defined methods across the selected TR, RR and FR scope.

03 · Interpret

Review findings, assumptions and evidence gaps in the workspace and matching report. Keep the three lenses distinct.

04 · Plan

Use the prioritised actions and evidence requirements to plan specialist review, fieldwork and the next commitment.

More than a score. A traceable assessment.

Your workspace and downloadable report connect the executive decision brief, mapped context, technical findings, regulatory pathways and conditional financial scenarios. Integrated interpretation and a prioritised action plan explain what needs attention next.

Supporting registers and appendices retain sources, calculation detail, assumptions and limitations. Maps may include catchments, nearby borehole records, geology, aquifer setting and regulatory context, subject to coverage and source currency. The report and workspace refer to the same assessment record.

AI explains. AI never decides.

Assessment calculations and rules remain separate from explanatory narrative. Governed AI or evidence-based templates help communicate the findings without changing scores or classifications. Missing information stays visible. Automated interpretation is not individual specialist review or professional sign-off.

Know the limits.

AquaSight supports early-stage screening. It does not guarantee groundwater availability, borehole yield or water quality, and does not replace fieldwork, drilling, pump testing, professional sign-off or regulatory approval. Outputs are not hydrogeological certification, legal advice, supplier quotations or financial advice.

The assessment workspace and report

AquaSight in practice

See the evidence. Understand the implications. Plan the next step.

Your interactive assessment brings technical, regulatory and financial findings together in a Groundwater Feasibility and Readiness Report—with mapped context, transparent assumptions, AI-enabled interpretation and prioritised actions.

Responsive visual summaries of a demonstration assessment. Identifying details are excluded. Results are specific to the example, not predictions for another site.

01 · Technical risk

See what drives the result.

The score gives an overview; the driver profile shows the environmental factors behind it. Read geology, aquifer conditions, resource pressure and water-quality context together rather than relying on a single number.

The next decision: focus the field investigation on the evidence needed to confirm sustainable yield, drawdown and water chemistry.

Higher scores mean greater technical concern, not drilling-success probability. Individual factor bars do not replace the weighted assessment method.

Higher scores indicate greater concern. Individual factors are not the weighted final score or a probability of drilling success.

RR · Regulatory readiness

01 · Authorisation pathway

Schedule 1
Screening Match

Confirm identified water uses and outstanding project or legal evidence before application planning.

02 · Registration readiness

Potential Schedule 1 Exemption

Preserve supporting evidence and confirm applicable limits or directions.

Two distinct review questions. Screening is not authorisation, an entitlement determination or proof of lawful use.

Responsive summary of the demonstration dashboard · Pathway and registration remain separate.

02 · Regulatory readiness

Turn a pathway into a review plan.

The regulatory view separates the screened water-use pathway from registration readiness. It makes the required reviews and unresolved evidence visible, rather than reducing everything to a traffic-light score.

In this example, a Schedule 1 screening match is accompanied by specific authorisation and registration priorities. Current property evidence and operating declarations remain items to resolve.

The next decision: establish which evidence and qualified reviews are needed before relying on the proposed water-use route.

A screening match is not authorisation or proof of lawful use. Registration and entitlement remain distinct review questions.

03 · Financial planning

See beyond the drilling cost.

Compare a complete planning case—from the initial project investment to the recurring costs and major replacements that follow.

Three coherent scenarios. Four cost perspectives.

Lower-cost scenarioCentral scenarioHigher-cost scenario
Initial investmentPhysical installation, initial services and contingency
Annual operationCash OPEX, including applicable energy, maintenance and monitoring
Major renewalsScheduled replacement commitments kept separate from routine operation
Whole-life viewPresent value, equivalent annual cost and conditional levelised cost

Illustration of the dashboard’s financial structure; project-specific amounts are omitted. Each scenario keeps its own assumptions together—these are not confidence intervals.

The next decision: identify what funding is required now, what recurs each year and which field, treatment, power or regulatory findings could change the budget.

The budget assumes a successful source and service of the requested demand. Failed exploration and re-drilling are unpriced, not zero. Planning estimates are not supplier quotations or proof of water delivery.

AI-enabled interpretation

From findings to a practical decision brief.

AquaSight uses AI to explain the relationships between the findings: what drives the result, why an evidence gap matters, how it affects other parts of the assessment and what to investigate next.

The explanation is checked against the assessment evidence. Scientific calculations, regulatory rule results and financial schedules remain the source of the numbers—not the language model.

The value: a connected explanation that helps a project owner and their technical team discuss the same evidence, assumptions and next steps.

One report. A clearer next commitment.

The Groundwater Feasibility and Readiness Report combines an executive decision brief, mapped context, TR/RR/FR findings, integrated interpretation, an action plan and supporting evidence registers.
