1
Sustainable water replenishment
Redirects water deep into the soil, naturally recharging groundwater and improving water availability in arid or drought-prone regions.
2
Water capture
Reduces surface runoff, capturing more water for infiltration and preserving this valuable resource at a subterranean level.
3
Supports ecosystem health
GEPS maintains groundwater levels and helps sustain local vegetation and ecosystem balance, even during dry seasons.

Groundwater recharge
How GEPS outperforms traditional groundwater recharge solutions
Feature | Exlterra | Traditional Solutions |
---|---|---|
Recharge efficiency | Deep soil absorption improves groundwater levels | Limited recharge, especially in compacted soils |
Energy dependence | Energy-free operation using natural forces | Requires energy for pumping or distribution |
Sustainability | Operates continuously without added resources | Often requires ongoing energy and resources |
Water conservation | Reduces surface runoff, conserving more water | Surface runoff leads to water loss |
Adaptability | Customizable layout for various terrains | Often limited to specific site conditions |
Impact on soil structure | Maintains natural soil composition and balance | Can alter soil structure with intensive digging |
Consistency over time | Reliable results even under changing conditions | Performance may drop with soil compaction |
Exlterra GEPS design
The roots of soil health
Precision-engineered to use nature's forces
Exlterra’s GEPS units are designed to work with nature, using durable, chemically neutral polyethylene for long-lasting, eco-friendly performance.
Modular in design, they come in various lengths to address specific site needs with precision.
GEPS relies on a passive energy system that uses natural soil pressures to drive water infiltration, enhancing groundwater recharge without external power.
The compact, cylindrical units are installed 2 feet below the surface, blending seamlessly into the landscape without disturbing plants or infrastructure.
Built to withstand diverse ground conditions, GEPS offers a reliable, sustainable solution for water management and soil health.
Durable polyethylene build
Crafted from chemically inert polyethylene, GEPS units are long-lasting and resistant to environmental factors, ensuring durability in varied climates and soil conditions.
Modular design for flexibility
GEPS units come in multiple lengths, allowing tailored installation patterns that adapt to specific site requirements for optimal soil hydration and stability.
Passive energy activation
The unit’s internal structure harnesses natural soil forces, enabling energy-free water movement for efficient groundwater recharge and moisture control.
Compact profile for seamless installation
With a slim, cylindrical form, GEPS units install just below the surface, allowing integration into the landscape without disrupting existing vegetation or infrastructure.
Built for underground durability
Remain leak-free and effective throughout their entire lifespan.
Wide temperature range
Operates reliably from -20°F to 170°F (-29°C to 76°C)
Different lengths available
GEPS units range from 5 to 40 feet (1.5 to 12 meters) long.
Minimal installation depth
Installs just 1 to 1.64 feet (30 to 50 cm) below ground.
