About

Practical water technology for places beyond the reach of conventional infrastructure

Water Source was created from a simple belief: safe drinking water should be more accessible, more practical and more reliable for the places that need it.

Our story

Where Water Source began

The company's origins trace back to Water Source founder Graeme Wise and his experience in Timor-Leste, where the reality of unsafe drinking water became deeply personal.

What began as a human response to a real problem grew into a long-term commitment to develop decentralised water treatment technology that could support communities and sites beyond the reach of conventional infrastructure.

That purpose still shapes Water Source today. We are focused on practical water technology for small and decentralised applications, combining safe drinking water production with intelligent operation, visibility and control.

Evolution

Our evolution

  1. A point-of-entry concept

    The original vision began as a small point-of-entry water purification system for communities without reliable access to safe drinking water.

  2. Field trials and engineering

    Field trials, engineering development and collaboration with experienced design, manufacturing and water-sector partners shaped the concept.

  3. Brolga

    A higher-capacity micro water treatment plant that combines validated treatment performance, autonomous operation and embedded digital capability.

  4. Real-world deployment

    Water Source continues to build through field validation, customer engagement and real-world deployment.

Purpose

What guides us

A focus on practical drinking water solutions that are easier to operate, monitor and support.
