Climate resilience and Food security

Water first

Ruden Water’s mission is to enable the access and use of conventional and unconventional water resources, to ultimately enhance climate resilience and improve food security. While more and more countries are experiencing drought and water shortages, several of these countries have suitable hydrogeological settings to hold large amounts of low-salinity water in deep aquifers.

Ruden Water has over 40 years of experience with water exploration. Its roots lie in humanitarian and development water projects in Africa and other places in the world. We are recognized as a science and technology driven company with a dose of idealism, today working on water projects in all sizes from local to national scale.

In 2023 we established the Sustainable Deep Groundwater Foundation to create a more comprehensive multipartner framework for sustainable development of water projects.

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.
