Coincidentally, the driest parts of Kenya have the best quality subsurface data, that can be used to identify deep groundwater resources. Ruden Water and NOCK (National Oil Corporation of Kenya), have been in dialogue to discuss a potential collaboration to utilize the oil & gas data and compentence of Kenya to explore for deep groundwater aquifers.

At the Norway, Sweden and Kenya Business Summit, Ruden Water (represented by CEO Helene Ree Ruden) and NOCK (represented by CEO Leparan Gideon Morintat) have signed an MoU (memurandum of understanding), to confirm their intentions on joining their forces on identification of deep groundwater resources.

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.
