How It Works

Soil to cloud. Savings to credits.

AquaCredit connects irrigated farmland in the American High Plains to data centers that need credible water replenishment. Every step is sensor-verified and independently audited.

01
Sensors deployed on farms

CropX Vertex SV4 soil-moisture sensors are installed on enrolled irrigated acreage across Colorado, Nebraska, and Texas. Real-time VWC data is logged continuously at up to three soil depths.

02
Water savings measured

Actual irrigation is compared against a three-year ET baseline for each farm, normalized for crop type and climate. The verified difference — water not applied — is the saving.

03
Third-party audit

An accredited certifier (Verra or SCS Global) independently verifies savings annually. A 10% permanence buffer is withheld each cycle to protect against measurement uncertainty.

04
Credits issued & retired

Each WSC receives a unique serial number, is georeferenced to its source farm, and registered on a blockchain ledger. Credits are permanently retired on purchase — zero double-counting risk.

The Credit

What is a Water Savings Credit?

A WSC is a verified, retired unit of freshwater conservation. It is not an estimate or a projection — it is a measured, audited, georeferenced record of water that was not withdrawn from a stressed basin.

1,000
Gallons verified saved
= 1 WSC
Georeferenced · Audited · Permanently retired
📋
VWBA Compatible
Structured around Volumetric Water Benefit Accounting categories — the same framework Microsoft, Google, and Meta use to count and report replenishment.
🔒
CDP & GRI Ready
Third-party verified credits map directly to CDP Water Security Module W1 and W8, and GRI 303-3 / 303-4 disclosures. Retirement certificates issued for every purchase.
📍
Basin-Matched
Credits come from the same Ogallala, South Platte, and Brazos sub-basins your data centers draw from — genuine shared-basin stewardship, not distant offset accounting.
⛓️
Blockchain Registry
Each credit carries a unique serial number and is permanently retired on purchase. No re-sale, no double-counting, no greenwashing risk. Retirement certificates provided.

Ogallala recharge zone · CoAgMet ET baseline
Nebraska
Farms: Largest single-state Ogallala user
Data Centers: Omaha metro
Groundwater caps tightening · Mesonet ET baseline
Texas
Farms: High Plains irrigation belt
Data Centers: DFW — largest US market

Expansion roadmap
Phase 1 — Year 1
20 anchor farms · 25,000 acres · Colorado, Nebraska, Texas. First WSC batch issued and sold to founding data center partners.
Phase 2 — Years 2–3
200+ farms · 250,000 acres · Adding Kansas and New Mexico. Long-term offtake agreements with 5–8 data center operators.
Phase 3 — Years 4–5
National expansion to California, Arizona, Idaho, Montana. International pilots in Australia and Spain.
The Team

Built by people who know
both ends of the hose.

Our team spans precision agriculture, IoT infrastructure, enterprise sustainability sales, hydrology, and commercial strategy rooted in real-world farming.

CEO & Co-Founder
Jason French
A precision agriculture leader with deep field experience deploying and managing some of the largest soil moisture sensor networks in commercial operation. His career spans the full ag-tech stack — from grower-level irrigation scheduling and soil science to regional sales, customer success, and agronomic education. He brings rare fluency in both the technical and human sides of farm adoption, having worked directly with producers across diverse crops and geographies to translate sensor data into real operational decisions.
CTO & Co-Founder
Rick Willett
A self-taught programmer turned enterprise architect with over a decade delivering solutions at the highest level of technical complexity. Adobe Commerce and Magento Application and Solution Architect. NVIDIA Certified, SAFE Certified, and Adobe Commerce Certified. Known equally as a technical leader and team builder, Rick brings the discipline and precision of someone who has performed on stage with STOMP and currently studies drums under Paul Bostaph — and applies that same rigor to engineering systems that scale.
VP Enterprise Sales

Based in Southwest Iowa, he oversees commercial strategy, strategic partnerships, and market development — bridging the gap between enterprise sustainability objectives and the economic realities producers actually face.
FAQ

Common questions

What is a Water Savings Credit (WSC)? +

A Water Savings Credit represents 1,000 gallons of freshwater verified as saved through precision agricultural irrigation management. Each WSC is independently audited, georeferenced to a specific farm, registered on a blockchain ledger, and permanently retired on purchase — ensuring no double-counting.

How do data centers use Water Savings Credits? +

Data centers purchase WSCs to offset their freshwater cooling consumption and meet water-positive commitments. AquaCredit WSCs are compatible with CDP Water Security, GRI 303, and Volumetric Water Benefit Accounting (VWBA) reporting frameworks used by Microsoft, Google, Meta, and AWS.

How much do Water Savings Credits cost? +

WSCs are priced from $3.00 per credit (1,000 gallons) for spot purchases, up to $5.00 per credit for long-term offtake agreements. Volume discounts are available. Multi-year offtake agreements provide price certainty through 2030.

How do farmers earn money from Water Savings Credits? +

Enrolled farmers earn $0.50 for every WSC generated from their land. A 1,000-acre farm generates approximately 27,154 WSCs per year, producing around $13,577 in annual WSC income. There is no upfront cost — AquaCredit installs and maintains all sensors.

Are Water Savings Credits independently verified? +

Yes. Every WSC is verified annually by an accredited third-party certifier such as Verra or SCS Global. Savings are calculated by comparing real-time soil moisture sensor data against a three-year evapotranspiration (ET) baseline for each farm. A 10% permanence buffer is withheld each cycle.

How is AquaCredit different from carbon credits? +

While carbon credits offset greenhouse gas emissions, Water Savings Credits specifically address freshwater consumption. WSCs are basin-matched — the water saved is in the same watershed your facility draws from — providing locally relevant, measurable impact rather than distant offset accounting.

What states does AquaCredit operate in? +

Phase 1 covers Colorado, Nebraska, and Texas — three states where agricultural water stress and data center growth intersect most acutely. Phase 2 expands to Kansas and New Mexico, with national and international expansion planned for Years 4–5.
