The source
Our water sits under pressure at 180 to 202 meters, beneath 180 meters of loam, pebble and gravel, sealed below by clay. The pressure stands 5.2 meters above ground level, so the base flow needs no pump and no electricity.
Because the aquifer is confined and under pressure, the hydraulic gradient points outward: water pushes up and out rather than surface water being drawn down into it. Confined sources are better shielded from surface contamination than shallow or unconfined springs. The source meets the US definition of artesian water under 21 CFR 165.110.
Recharge comes from the snowmelt and glacier-fed rivers of the Kyrgyz Ala-Too. Kyrgyzstan holds 9,959 glaciers (UNDP, 2021).
How we operate
An existing well in this aquifer has been discharging into the ground, unused, for two decades. We want to take a share of that and leave the rest — and we want the way we do it to be something another operator can copy.
No regulation requires a bottler to publish a single one of the numbers below. European law governs what goes on the label, not what comes out of the ground. We publish them anyway.
Measurement
Publishing numbers only means something if the numbers are real. Instruments sit in the production well and in observation wells around it, reporting daily. What they cannot measure goes to an accredited laboratory — and we say which is which.
Continuous, telemetered daily
Laboratory only, quarterly
Where the software earns its place
Machine learning is good at three specific things here, so that is what we use it for: flagging anomalies and sensor drift in the time series, forecasting water levels, and catching a bad reading before it reaches a report. The sustainable yield itself comes from a physically-based groundwater model, not from a prediction.
No sensor detects PFAS, heavy metals or bacteria. Anything we say about safety comes from an accredited laboratory, with the method named.
Why this is unusual
0–20%
Of bottling facilities have water-use data held by their state, according to the US Geological Survey’s 2024 national inventory.
We could not find one bottled water company anywhere publishing its licensed limit, its actual extraction and its sustainable yield. The companies that do publish site-level water data are miners and hyperscalers — Rio Tinto, Google, Amazon — under public pressure to.
For buyers
We supply premium brands, hotel and restaurant private label, and importers, alongside our own brand. Everything below is indicative and pre-license — the figures that will be contractual are the ones the assessment and the license set.
| Product | Still artesian water, bottled at the wellhead No treatment beyond what the eventual license permits and we disclose |
|---|---|
| Format | 750 ml glass Glass only, for every channel. Other formats on request, in glass. |
| Channels | Bulk supply and private label · own brand You send glass, or we use our Kyrgyz supplier |
| Origin | Confined artesian aquifer, Kyrgyz Republic Deposit documentation and exact location shared under NDA |
| Markets | Worldwide We ship anywhere a buyer can receive a container. China and the US West Coast are our first markets; the two routes below are examples. |
| Route · China | Road via Torugart or Irkeshtam Overland, no sea leg |
| Route · US West Coast | Road and rail through Kazakhstan to a Chinese Pacific port, then ocean to Seattle Moved in bond to preserve Kyrgyz origin |
| Pricing | Quoted on enquiry Priced per market, channel and volume. We discuss costs and pricing in conversation, not on a public page. |
| Container | About 19,700 bottles per 40 ft |
| Carbon | About 0.65 kg CO₂e a bottle to China, 0.79 kg to Seattle Our own estimate, cradle to market. Glass and freight are the footprint; the filling line is under 1% of it. We are not claiming carbon neutrality. |
| Availability | Subject to license and plant build We are not taking binding orders. Letters of intent are welcome and non-binding on both sides. |
Where we are
We would rather you know exactly what exists today than discover it in diligence. We are raising a pre-seed round to close the gap below.
Get in touch
If you import, blend or brand premium water, a short email is enough to start. We answer every one personally.
Investors: the same address. We will send the deck directly rather than posting it here.
