In addition to optimising water catchment processes in reservoirs and from groundwater, Aquanex is notable for applying the most innovative technology in its supply network, to ensure responsible water consumption of the highest-quality.

Aquanex is an environmental company dedicated to management of the complete water cycle in Extremadura, where it supplies a population of over 300,000 inhabitants in the provinces of Cáceres and Badajoz. It manages water catchment and collection, treatment, and return of wastewater to the natural environment, as well as drinking water treatment, distribution, and supply in sufficient quantities and with the quality required for users.

The company searches for and minimises water losses caused by leaks in the network. It works in this area on a daily basis through the application of new technologies such as iDROLOC (searching for leaks with helium). This system can be used to locate water leaks without the need to cut the water supply in the area. Helium is injected into the pipes and dilutes in the water until a crack is found in the pipes. Then, as the gas is lighter than air, it rises to the surface and a helium-detecting device locates it rapidly and precisely.
