Mineral water on tap
Almost half of the world’s population will be living in areas of high water stress by 2030, according to the UN.

Technology to become self-sufficient is more accessible than ever before, as ultra-clean water with a high mineral content is now available via boreholes.
Boreholes can range in depth enormously but typically are between 20 and 50 metres. They extract water directly from the aquifer deep in the ground, that once harvested and treated, provide an excellent source of high quality water for a variety of uses.
It’s worth undertaking feasibility assessments to better understand where the optimum locations for extraction will be. Knight Frank can conduct these assessments, along with managing the competitive tender process for the borehole installation, right through to maintaining a permanent supply.
