Where it all began
The idea for droply was born while hiking through the New Mexico desert along the Continental Divide Trail. Out there, finding reliable water sources was a challenge, and we quickly realized how valuable it would be to share up-to-date information about water access with others.
That’s why we created droply – a platform where hikers, travelers, and anyone on the go can discover, share, and update water sources worldwide.
Our vision
We envision a world where refilling is the norm, clean drinking water is available everywhere, and people value and protect their local water.
In this future, everyone knows where to find free drinking water – whether in the city, on a hike, or while traveling. Public fountains and natural springs are easy to spot and trusted by all. People choose to refill instead of buying bottled water, helping to reduce waste and protect the environment.
Water is more than just a resource – it’s part of our everyday lives, our culture, and our communities. With the help of technology and shared knowledge, people stay connected to the water around them and help others do the same.
Partner up
We partner with companies in the water and sustainability sector, and with communes and cities that want to improve and share open data on drinking water.
