“024 has been a pivotal year for the water sector, reflecting both the escalating urgency of water security and the remarkable resilience of innovative solutions in addressing this global challenge. Across the industry, we have witnessed considerable momentum in designing and deploying technologies that harness atmospheric moisture, reduce reliance on diminishing groundwater reserves, and minimize environmental footprints. Governments and private stakeholders alike have begun acknowledging that ensuring a sustainable water supply is not a luxury but an absolute necessity for thriving communities and economies.

In the year ahead, I anticipate a surge in cross-sector collaborations that will drive greater awareness about alternative water sources and the critical need for holistic water management. By 2025, I believe we will see advancements in atmospheric water generation technology that make systems more compact, cost-effective, and energy-efficient. This evolution will not only bolster water-scarce regions but also help industries adopt innovative water stewardship practices. Additionally, stronger policy frameworks and incentives at both national and global levels are likely to fuel wider adoption, leading to a more concerted approach in protecting our planet’s most precious resource.

At Akvo, we remain committed to our mission of delivering high-quality and sustainable water solutions. Our goal is to continuously refine our technology, forming meaningful partnerships to expand our reach and create a lasting impact. As we close out a year marked by challenges and achievements, I’m confident that 2025 will usher in even more transformative breakthroughs, ultimately bringing us closer to a future where every individual and community has reliable access to clean water.”

Addressing a Global Challenge with Innovation!

Posted on by admin

Our world faces an urgent water crisis, affecting billions. It’s a scenario that requires immediate action, innovative thinking, and global collaboration. Inspired by the ancient concept of ‘Akrasia’ — the act of knowing what is right but not acting upon it — we are determined to bridge the gap between knowledge and action.

In this video, Navkaran Singh Bagga, CEO of Akvo Atmospheric Water Systems discusses the harsh reality of water scarcity, the universal need for sustainable solutions, and how Akvo Atmospheric Water Systems is rising to meet this challenge. The Atmospheric Water Generation Systems represents more than just technological innovation; they are a beacon of hope, turning air into life-sustaining water.

Let’s move from inaction to impact, from scarcity to abundance. Share your thoughts, your actions, and let’s spread the word.

Together, we can create a future where access to clean water is a reality for all.

Why is Akvo the Future Of Water?

Posted on by admin

As we try to envision a future for mankind on Mars, there is an urgent need to make our planet once again inhabitable for millions. For starters, everyone, regardless of where they live or how little they make, should have that most basic of human necessities — clean water.

There are 785 million people who do not get drinking water. And about half a million people die of diarrhea caused by contaminated drinking water every year, according to the World Health Organization. By 2030, 700 million people could be displaced because of intense water shortage, according to the UN.

The water problems of different regions call for a variety of solutions, and among the most talked-about innovations is making water out of thin air, literally.

At Akvo, our endeavour is to tackle the water issues experienced worldwide by providing environmentally sustainable solutions that minimize the use of groundwater and develop innovative cost efficient technology to provide clean and safe water for all.

Akvo® is clean tech company and a leader in the design and manufacture of a large range of atmospheric water generators (AWG) to provide a solution to global water needs. Our Atmospheric Water Generators are ideal for areas that are affected by water scarcity or water contamination as they require no water source to produce healthy, purified drinking water from the atmosphere.

With only 60% of the world’s water ready for consumption by 2030, Akvo, was born out of the idea to provide a solution to curb and tackle the global water scarcity by providing a cost effective machine that uses the least amount of power to generate the most amount of water – with zero environmental impact.

Air-to-water technology is the process of converting water vapor in the air (humidity) to water. Akvo atmospheric water generators replicates this natural process of condensation by simulating the dew point, which allows it to make water continuously, even in low humidity conditions.

What is unique about this technology?

The atmosphere contains 37.5 Million Billion Gallons of water. This is part of the hydrological cycles which maintains air and water vapour making this a virtually unlimited source of water. The most abundant source of fresh water is the Earth’s atmosphere. When atmospheric humidity condenses, it falls as rain. Akvo® replicates this natural process of condensation by simulating the dew point, which allows it to make water continuously, even in low humidity conditions. Our unique technology uses optimised dehumidification techniques to extract and condense moisture in the air to produce healthy, purified drinking water.

With an unlimited source of fresh water in the atmosphere and coupled with our technology to harness it, Akvo truly is the future of water with massive potential to create unlimited drinking water.

 

Clean Future

Akvo Atmospheric Water Systems has been working since 2016 to design and manufacture a product which would utilize the moisture in the air and condense it to produce fresh drinking water.

With an initial investment of Rs 5 crore, bootstrapped to the founding team, it manufactures its products in West Bengal and has been selling them in the market since May 2018.

The equipment has a refrigeration system and heat exchangers which help achieve right temperatures to form condensate when air is sucked and brought into the system.

The condensate is then collected and dispensed for use, explains Navkaran Singh Bagga, founder and CEO of the company.

The products are designed to run at temperatures ranging from 10-degree Celsius to 60-degree Celsius with humidity factor of 30-80%, making it a viable model to deploy in coastal and hilly areas, especially in tropical countries that are rich in atmospheric moisture content.

The machines are rated for different run times and generation capacities. For example, one model can run for 24 hours and produce 100 liters in ideal condition.

It draws 250Wh of energy per liter of water generated which also reduces the stress on the grid when runs on power generated from localized renewable sources.

One of the early adopters of this product is Indian Oil refinery in Haldia, near Kolkata. The product has helped decentralize water availability on a massive 300-acre area, enabling workers to access drinking water at six locations.

The Madhya Pradesh government has also taken a 1000-litre system to supply water to Hardua Mangarh village in Damoh district.

The company is also expanding to West Asia. Gulf region will be his major focus in the next couple of years.

Currently, the company has a revenue of around Rs 1.5 crore but with an expanding distribution network and new markets in the Gulf, it expects to hit its target of Rs 12 crore in the coming financial year.
