AKYAS Activated Water —
a promising solution for agriculture businesses

In regions where water is scarce, vulnerable to climate shocks, or mismanaged, agriculture often takes the hardest hit. The hit is direct, visible, and often painful.

The Activated Water produced by AKYAS Agri-tech can be generated from water sources of varying quality — including saline water, greywater, and even blackwater. By treating these non-freshwater inputs, we help ease the pressure on limited freshwater supplies.

  • AKYAS uses nanotechnology to enhance the natural quality of water. Our system:

    • Breaks down organic substances and precipitates inorganic compounds

    • Enhances pH, dissolved oxygen level, and electrical conductivity

    • Restores soil health by significantly reducing salt content — crucial for nutrient absorption at the root level

    • Reduces salt level in soil, essentially improves nutrients uptake by roots

    • Reduces overall water consumption for irrigation

    • Boosts biomass growth and increases fruit size

    • Eliminate the use of chemicals (to combat soil salinity)

    These outcomes not only save costs and reduce environmental compromise, but also offer a more resilient solution to water management in fragile and climate-affected settings.

  • The AKYAS activated water can be applicable to various contexts striving for better water management.

    For example in Jordan, AKYAS works with key stakeholders including the National Agricultural Research Center (NARC) (the scientific arm of the Ministry of Agriculture) as well as dedicated farm owners across the Jordan Valley “food basket” and committed conservationists who care deeply for the land of olives.

    These collaborations fuel our drive to contribute not only as an innovator and technology provider, but also as an active private sector partner in collective climate action.

The scientists at NARC are working with AKYAS to study the effect of AKYAS' activated water on plant growth. 12,000 seedlings are being planted. The photo shows one of the experimental setup using aquaponic system.

Another experimental setup is to use AKYAS activated water on plants in soil.

Seedlings were prepared differently - for example, some were irrigated with AKYAS activated water, some with typical irrigation water.

Research on Agriculture

Through our ongoing collaboration with the National Agricultural Research Centre (NARC) (the scientific arm of the Jordan Ministry of Agriculture), we have made several promising advancements that we believe will contribute meaningfully to the broader scientific community. We are currently in the process of publishing a research paper to share these findings.

To support this effort, we planted 1,200 seedlings as part of a controlled study.

This initiative enables researchers and scientists to assess the impact of AKYAS technology on crop growth and soil health, validate key hypotheses, and explore longer-term effects through continued monitoring.

We welcome collaboration with international research partners interested in advancing scientific understanding of the various dimensions of AKYAS technology.

The Broader Challenges Tackled

  • When the solution becomes part of the problem: water overuse in saline soils

    Around 30% of the world’s cultivated land is affected by soil salinity.

    A common response among farmers is to use large volumes of water to flush salts from the soil — a practice that is unsustainable, particularly in regions already grappling with water scarcity.

  • Reimagining water: Every drop counts — even the overlooked ones.

    Whether it's greywater, blackwater, or saline water, these are valuable water sources that can be harnessed.

    The lack of smart, affordable, and energy-efficient solutions — ones that don’t burden farmers or generate harmful by-products like brine — has left a major gap. This presents a huge opportunity for innovation to work together with farmers in managing water more sustainably, especially as climate pressures intensify.

  • Our goal

    We aim to tackle water stress and security through decentralized, resilient technologies. True impact lies in empowering individuals to harness underused non-freshwater sources.

    We believe in the strength of farming communities — and in the power of innovation to support their regenerate their lands, strengthen food systems, and adapt to a changing climate.

A Future Water-Wise City Enabled by AKYAS

From soil to city, AKYAS is showing that smart water solutions can go big.
The tools exist. The land can recover. The opportunity is real — and scalable.

  • Small to medium farm holders install AKYAS systems to recycle wastewater and reduce dependence on freshwater sources.

    Supporting long-term business viability and sustainable farming practices.

  • Commercial farm managers adopt AKYAS technology to produce “activated” water that restores saline soils.

    Reducing chemical use and over-consumption of water, higher productivity and greater water security across the sector.

  • Homeowners retrofit AKYAS systems to recycle water, improve discharge quality, and protect nearby water bodies.

    Enhancing community health, reducing the spread of waterborne diseases, and fostering  social cohesion.

  • Semi-centralised or decentralised infrastructure integrates AKYAS as an add-on treatment to meet evolving environmental & climate goals.


    Strengthening government strategies for sustainable water management.
