OceanWell and LVMWD Announce Partnership to Pilot California’s First Blue Water Farm
Sgvoice: Startup profile OceanWell
A celebrity-studded L.A. water district has a very big drought idea: Seafloor desalination
The new pilot project will be the first to use OceanWell’s state-of-the-art technology to source a new supply of drinking water.
Startup To Harvest Desalinated Drinking Water From Ocean Floor
Could ocean-floor filtration pods create drinking water?
Modular subsea reverse osmosis systems use natural ocean pressure to efficiently produce fresh water
40% Energy Reduction
By harnessing natural pressure to drive the process, our water production is efficient, using significantly less energy than traditional methods of desalination onshore.
No Coastal Plant
Underwater Water Farms are effectively invisible, eliminating the need for a coastal plant, preserving natural landscapes, while ensuring local ecosystems remain undisturbed.
No Harm to Marine Life
Our LifeSafeTM circulation system protects marine ecosystems while the system does not produce a strong brine, promoting biodiversity and ecological balance.
Modular Deployment
Scalable to any size, our modular Water Farms can be quickly installed and expanded. This flexibility ensures that the project can adapt to increasing water demands efficiently.
Flexible Energy Use
Water Farms can modulate their production rate, supporting the grid's transition to cleaner energy solutions and enabling direct integration with renewable power sources.
Climate Resilience
Operating at depth, we are protected from adverse weather events, floods, algae blooms, and other organic matter, ensuring reliable, year-round supplies of high quality fresh water.
Introducing OceanWell Water Farms
Nature
We protect marine ecosystems, avoiding harm to aquatic life, promoting biodiversity.
Community
Providing clean, accessible water transforms communities, improves health, and supports local economies.
Municipal
Reliable fresh water solutions enhance urban living, support infrastructure, and fosters sustainable growth.
Industrial
Reliable cold water supplies optimize industrial operations, while reducing costs and environmental impact.
Las Virgenes
OceanWell have collaborated with Las Virgenes Municipal Water District in Southern California to build the first Water Farm.
Together we aim to provide a high quality and cost-effective water supply to the California market.
California Working Group
25 public water agencies have participated in the development of the technology. 8 of which have signed an LOI and reimbursement agreement for a feasibility study into an inland pipeline distribution system to deliver water directly to their service areas.
NGOs
Tackling water scarcity and improving public health in underserved regions.
Environmental Scientists
Protecting ecosystems, reducing pollution, and promoting biodiversity.
Industries
Enhancing water efficiency to meet water sustainability goals.
Data Centers
Cold, deep ocean water provides an efficient, carbon-free cooling solution.
Water Agencies
A safe and reliable water supply, improving infrastructure and drought resilience.
Power Suppliers
Partnering to provide a reliable long-term water supply.

Imagine H2O is a non-profit organization that seeks entrepreneurial water-focused solutions for global challenges.
They work across the urban, industrial, and agricultural sectors that address climate change, public health, economic development, and water resource management.
Chosen from an applicant pool of over 400 startups, OceanWell was selected to participate in the 2024 accelerator cohort.
About Us
OceanWell
We believe in working with nature, not against it. Every design decision was made with an “environment-first” philosophy, driven by our engineering team in California. In doing so we redesigned desalination from the ground up, the result of which is a simple, elegantly designed solution that addresses every issue presented by desalination, to serve as a net positive to earth’s water cycle.
Climate and Water
Creating more fresh water to combat climate change impacts and build a resilient environment.
Fundamental to Life
Clean water transforms communities, supports health, and fosters economic growth.
Value and Harmony
Reliable fresh water promotes social harmony, supports agriculture, and enhances life.
