Dropstone
Independent advisory in water, geosciences and complex contexts.
We transform difficult technical and institutional problems into evidence-based decisions – in Switzerland and internationally.
Two worlds. One expertise.
SWITZERLAND
We assist cantons, utility services and project owners in understanding and sustainably managing underground resources.
INTERNATIONAL
We support governments, national and local authorities, humanitarian organisations, development agencies and donors in fragile or crisis-affected contexts.
Why Dropstone?
Independence. We are neither a subsidiary nor dependent on a single donor. Our analyses reflect the data, not a commercial relationship.
Dual grounding. A team trained to Swiss scientific standards, operational in contexts where institutional structures are absent or fragile.
Results that get used. Our deliverables are designed to be actionable: prioritised recommendations, language adapted for decision-makers, practical formats.
