AquaVest: the algorithm that guides investments in water infrastructure

The partnership

Frontier Ventures B.V. initiated the partnership with Quo Mare B.V. to develop the AquaVest tool. Quo Mare is specialized in the development of optimization algorithms. The partners collaborated on improved water management plans during previous employment with Shell international. As partners it is our goal to support our clients in the development of robust regional water master plans and corresponding infrasturcture investment strategies.

The innovation

The AquaVest tool supports the development of regional water management plans and corresponding investment strategies. The tool is based on a unique techno-economic optimization algorithm. AquaVest develops project-specific water transition pathways and guides investments in water infrastructure. The tool is developed and co-owned by Frontier Ventures B.V. and Quo Mare B.V. The intellectual property is shared equally among the partners.

The impact

AquaVest can be applied to develop improved sewage management plans. Especially in developing countries the potential socio-economic and environmental impact of proper sewage infrastructure is enormous. AquaVest can evaluate options to maximize cost recovery and return on investment. AquaVest can also be applied to develop water reuse plans and water storage strategies to address water scarcity issues around the world.
