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.
Brahmapur, also known as Berhampur is a city on the eastern coastline of Ganjam district of the Indian state of Odisha in East India, The municipality was looking at some solution to provide safe drinking water to people at prominent places like bus / train stations.
Akvo has deployed the world’s first Air to Water ATM to Berhampur in Odisha with plans of deployment of More units nationwide, where local Civic authorities will be able to provide drinking water to the public without having to provide a source of water, thereby increasing reach and decreasing deployment and infrastructure delays.
The most abundant source of fresh water is the Earth’s atmosphere. When atmospheric humidity condenses, it falls as rain. Akvo® atmospheric water generators use a similar process known as the air-to-water technology. Air-to-water technology is the process of converting water vapor in the air (humidity) to water. Akvo® replicates this natural process of condensation by simulating the dew point, which allows it to make clean drinking water continuously. Continue reading “How water is made from air”
