About Us

"We are Jim Conley and Ross Martiensen; we formed the Sustainable Water Solutions company in 2019 with a simple mission—to help rural landholders get better results when drilling for groundwater. We believed there had to be a smarter, more reliable way to do it—and we’ve been proving that ever since.

Our passion is to assist agricultural production that affects the economy of the country, and we saw a way to do this by making workable Sustainable Water Solutions available to those farmers and property owners in need.

What started as a small operation in Queensland has grown, thanks to word of mouth and the trust we’ve built with clients across Australia.

With increasing demand for the results we produce, we are now a national service working in every region of Australia, helping property owners make confident, informed decisions about how to obtain, a usually much-needed water supply.

As our reputation grew, we decided to expand our services further with Australian Water Bore Drilling Services—offering end-to-end water drilling solutions. Someone can come to us, and with our joint experience, help them with their bore water drilling project or any part of it.

Using cutting-edge water detection technology from around the world, our clients can be informed where their potential underground water is before investing in drilling costs. To make it easier to get started we give anyone interested a free Potential Groundwater Assessment—the first sensible step in finding a sustainable water supply.  We are at Australia's service."
