Finding water underground in some of the world's driest places just got much quicker. Transient electromagnetics (TEM) uses electrical pulses to help calculate the depth, size and type of aquifers and even if the water is saline or not. Recent advances in TEM are making the identification of aquifers faster, easier and more accurate than ever. The equipment can be towed or carried and automatically sends data to an app, enabling the creation of high-resolution maps to support rapid and informed decision making. TEM being scaled by the UNICEF Sustainable WASH Innovation Hub to improve access to water for children and families affected by conflict and climate change.
