Many tools, many translations

Gravity Water installs rainwater harvesting, elevated storage, and gravity-fed filtration for schools — no electricity or pumps — in Nepal and Vietnam, expanding across the region.

Collecting multilingual system-performance and water-usage data, then translating and reading meters, was a cumbersome multi-tool process.

One survey, many languages

Sopact’s multi-language survey let Gravity Water run one unified, translated instrument with embedded photos.

Savings are calculated at the moment of collection, which helps build community trust.

Monthly data, native language

Within two months the team was collecting monthly data from schools in Vietnam and Nepal in native languages — management reading it in English in real time, as the organisation works toward rainwater harvesting in a million structures by 2030.

Gravity Water is embarking on an ambitious moonshot: to implement rainwater harvesting in one million structures by 2030.

"In the past, our data collection methods were cumbersome, involving multiple tools, translations, and calling school/community partners for meter readings. Now, through automation and enabling data collection in native languages, saves us a tremendous amount of time. It also fostered deeper trust within the communities we serve enabling us to accelerate our journey to achieving product-market fit. Now, Gravity Water is embarking on an ambitious moonshot: to implement rainwater harvesting in one million structures by 2030. Our vision is bold, but our innovative approach and community trust are paving the way for this monumental achievement."
