We would like to use satellite images to determine population density in a way that is useful in identifying promising opportunities to either (1) acquire and expand existing water treatment stations, (2) develop greenfield stations, or (3) extend pipeline networks from stations we already own.
- A database of population clusters able to be segmented with parameters such as GPS location, location within specific Cambodian province/commune/village, population density
- The ability to cross-reference the above database against our current database of private water operators and their jurisdictions.
- William Puyo (GM of KWSH)
- Andrew Durke (COO of OBOR Capital [investor and project sponsor of KWSH])
- Max Thornton (Analyst at OBOR Capital)
- Database of private water operators and which communes their licenses cove
- Knowledge of target population density patterns based on 4-year history of operating 5 water stations
