Last month, we were honored to welcome H.E. President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of Somalia, his delegation, and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Ruden Water offices in Oslo for an update on our groundbreaking project on deep groundwater resources in Somalia. 🌍💧

Water is vital for life and development. Our promising findings reveal accessible aquifers with low salinity, holding up 19,000 km³ of water, and an annual replenishment of up to 19 km³ from rainfall.

At Ruden, we are passionate and committed to developing innovative solutions to solve global challenges. We are humbled to be seen and listened to by decision-makers and hope our work can contribute to a better future!

Deep Coastal Groundwater: A Vast, Untapped Resource


As 2.2 billion people globally lack clean water, coastal aquifers hold the key for at least 1.45 billion.


Research suggest that coastal sedimentary basins contain enough freshwater to supply more than 65% of water-stressed populations - using existing drilling technology from the energy sector.

Ruden received funding from the Norwegian Space Center for a feasibility assessment for climate adaptation of low-lying islands – Remote sensing for hydraulic uplift monitoring.

Every year, The Norwegian Spacecenter (Norsk Romsenter) invites organisations to apply for supplementary funds. This year, 25 organisations received funding, and Ruden is one of them.
