Our Mission
Water contamination (pollution) is a huge global problem today. By deploying technology on a remediation or landfill site, the responsible party and stakeholders can potentially save millions of dollars by alerting stakeholders of the potential of contamination migrating into the water table, or reducing the flow of contaminates into existing polluted water repositories.
TopDown Conservation’s mission is to enable the user to accomplish this prevention goal with data management and sensing technology tools.

Water contamination: how big?
• 14,000 deaths/day worldwide • Shrinking supply of global potable water • 90% of Chinese cities • 80% of Superfund sites • 50% of U.S. uses ground water for drinking • U.S. Shut down water wells in 344 communities • U.S. polluted sources:
– streams: 43% – lakes: 47% – bays/estuarine: 32%

The Problem: Prevent contamination penetration
STAKEHOLDERS & INTERESTED PARTIES
• Too much manual data collection • Too long for data to serially pass to stakeholders • Multiple data sources • Manual re-entry of data • Not enough time for problem analysis • No real-time emergency alerts • Required legal compliance & liability prevention

The Penalty for Failure
• $1-15M to clean up contaminated water source • Fines & lawsuits • Notices of non-compliance • Human health and environmental risks • Erosion of stock value and shareholder value • Press notifications to the community • Direct loss of revenue or net income due to fines or new remediation expenses • Loss of property value • Extended time & expense to existing projects • Increased insurance premiums

The Costs of Failure
• Groundwater contamination penalties for failure
– $1-15M+ to restore each water source
– Law suit damages & Other liabilities
– Public relations disaster
• Oil company contamination costs (Equador):
– Groundwater: $396 M - $911 M
– Soil: $487 M - $949 M
• Expensive site visits
– DoD: $2,500/visit
– DoD visits: $100M+/year
