Engineering fix

Rebuilding the wells to read at full supply level

Three gauge wells in Khanewal were rebuilt so the instrument holds a reading across the full range of canal flow.

Who we serve

Four kinds of organisation, each with a different reason for needing independent measurement.

Enterprises

Industry, energy and agribusiness managing water dependency or environmental liability. The usual drivers are NEQS compliance, ESG reporting, supply chain water risk and export certification.

Government

Ministries, irrigation departments, utilities and provincial environment agencies that need measurement they can defend in allocation disputes, enforcement and public reporting.

Multilaterals and Development Funders

Development banks and programme funders that require independent measurement and verification. Our work with FAO in Khanewal is the reference.

NGOs and Implementing Organisations

Organisations that need rigorous evidence for donor reporting and monitoring frameworks, with the calibration trail to support every number.

How clients work with us

Three engagement models. Our two reference clients use two of them.

01

Study

A defined question answered once, with a report and dataset delivered. Scoped, priced and delivered as a fixed output, with no ongoing obligation on either side.

02 · FAO Pakistan

Project

Design and build of a monitoring or modelling system, handed over on completion with operator training. You then run it.

03 · Nestlé Pakistan

Retainer

xWIT operates the system, maintains calibration and reports on your cycle. You receive data and reports; we carry responsibility for uptime.
