AKVO is the most cost-efficient Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) generating drinking water from thin air.
The topic of water scarcity has always been discussed from marking Day Zero in Cape Town, South Africa 2018 to finding effective ways to transport drinkable water to regions affected by natural disasters. The primary requirement of water is in the equatorial regions during the summers. Continue reading “PR News Wire”
Around 1,800 million people would be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity by the year 2025, when two-thirds of the world population could be under stress, an expert said here on Tuesday. In India, which is one of the major countries hit by the menace of arsenic contamination of groundwater, the government projects have suffered due to lack of people’s involvement, West Bengal government’s Arsenic Task Force Chairman K.J. Nath said at a workshop organised by the Sulabh International Social Service Organisation (SISSO). Continue reading “2/3rd global population could be under stress due to water scarcity by 2025”
NTPC is India’s largest energy conglomerate with roots planted way back in 1975 to accelerate power development in India. As a leading player in the world energy sector, NTPC recognized the potential of cutting edge technology in further improving its services and efficiency. Through its R&D arm NETRA (NTPC Energy Technology Research Alliance), NTPC wanted access to green and sustainable products to further its commitment towards society by doing their bit for to fight water scarcity.
They were looking to harness and use new technology to save water wastage while producing drinking water and they sought Akvo’s atmospheric water generator for the same.
Akvo provided & installed one 1000 LPD unit at their technical centre in Noida for the evaluation & usage study.
Akvo Atmospheric Water Generators were created to tackle water problems and provide safe drinking water but here is our claim: With the ever-approaching menace of exhausting the world’s supply of fresh water, Atmospheric Water Generators promise to be the solution to the global water crisis as one of the primary sources of renewable water in the future.

Cape Town was on the edge of crisis, and then it wasn’t. Cape Town has delayed its water-shortage disaster—at least until 2019. Continue reading “Cape town day zero crisis averted?”
Hardua Mangarh, a small village in Damoh faces drought on a regular basis and coupled with depleting ground water available, the local Government has been fighting water crisis for the past few years. With no source of water, providing safe drinking water to the local population has become a challenge.
On August 2018, the local government sought Akvo’s Air to water technology to test its water from air machines in a pilot program to meet the drinking water demands. Akvo in coordination with the local authorities installed its Akvo 365K machine, a 1000 Liter of water from air per day machine thus ensuring continuous supply of uninterrupted safe drinking water for local population of Hardua Mangarh.
After the completion of the pilot program more Akvo Atmospheric water generators will be installed in strategic locations to fulfil the drinking water demand.
