 Where it all began

After finding water under the surface

of Mars, our CTO set out to search for
water under the surface of the Earth.

•Images are acquired

under all weather
conditions, day and
night.

•At the frequency used, it

is possible to distinguish
salt water, drinking water,
wastewater.

Even a small landslide that damages a few homes can cost millions of dollars. Recently, the U.S. Geological

Saturation below road surface – A9, France
A main cause of road
damage, and problems with
the serviceability of road
networks, is excess water
filling the pores of road
materials in the road and in
the subgrade soils.
