Check a certificationA company name or a verification ID shows the registry entry, the verified footprint and the water funded.

What we do

AI usage becomes liters. Liters become ten times that in safe drinking water. The water is proven and published.

Measure

Usage from provider data, reconciled to your list of AI vendors.

Match

The water commitment goes to projects, through the programs with the strongest evidence per dollar.

Prove

Chlorine tests, GPS, sensors. Every liter in a public registry, revocations included.

Ten liters of safe drinking water for every liter of verified AI footprint.

Vendors count only the cooling water on site. Count the water behind the electricity too and the number is about ten times higher. Ten to one covers the whole range.

Why ten

The first grants, with their evidence, appear in the registry as they are made. How a program qualifies

Every dollar accounted for.

Transparent by design. Two bank accounts kept separate, every transaction published monthly, every grant with its evidence, every document from the Articles to each Form 990.

Two accounts, kept separate

At least 75 cents of every dollar is water, in its own account. The fee is the published cost of the check.

Every transaction, in public

Both accounts, exported from the bank and published monthly, with counterparty and purpose.

Built to recognized standards
