SWIM Mapping & WASH Collective Action Hotspots Map

New York, September 2025 – Botanical Water Technologies and the Pacific Institute have announced the launch of a new WASH Collective Action Hotspots Map, a dynamic global map designed to unite corporates, NGOs, and WASH4Work members in tackling water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) issues across the globe. This will be unveiled during Climate Week NYC.

Addressing a Fragmented Approach to Water Challenges

Over 2.3 billion people live in water-stressed countries, yet solutions are often hampered by fragmented data, limited visibility, and difficulty connecting impactful projects, project sponsors and resources needed to deliver results. This new map aims to solve this by:

• Visualizing WASH Collective Action Hotspots at country and basin level
• Integrating overlays for NGOs, corporates, and other stakeholders
• Highlighting shovel-ready WASH projects for WASH4Work groups
• Provide additional value to existing initiatives while complementing the Water Action Hub and Basin Monitoring Platform

Strategic Collaboration

Developed and funded by Botanical Water Technologies, the tool is being rolled out in partnership with the Pacific Institute. Feedback from participating corporates and NGOs will guide its continued development. Botanical Water Technologies CEO Terry Paule notes, “We grow water, and now we’re growing partnerships. This Map brings clarity to a complex system, aligning resources for meaningful impact.”

Building on Global Impact

The launch builds on Botanical Water Technologies’ innovation, which transforms evaporative condensate from food and agricultural processing into plant-sourced drinking water. Recent examples include:

• Microsoft in India – 60 million liters annually delivered to 16,000+ people
• Ingomar Packing in California – transforming tomato processing into a new source of drinking water
• ‍The Fujitsu collaboration – implementing blockchain-based PhiloX for transparency

These projects demonstrate how innovative technologies, combined with trusted partnerships, can scale solutions across basins, insights now embedded in the new Dynamic Map.

Join the Movement

Botanical Water Technologies and the Pacific Institute invite corporates, NGOs, and WASH4Work stakeholders to engage with the new WASHCollective Action Hotspots Map, provide feedback, and join in shaping the future of basin collective action
