    Description
    Description

    We built a reliable integrated solution, suitable for the efficient production and distribution of quality-controlled drinking water in peri-urban areas of emerging countries and mainly in Africa where 30% of the population is suffering from poor water quality.
    This solution – simple, robust, without consumables, low-energy, connected and rapidly deployable – is in line with Goal 6 of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development;

    A web platform that connects the water suppliers/producers of quality-controlled water to their customers. With its quality control component, our digital technology ensures the traceability of the entire production process, from bottling to delivery.

    Expected Impact

    Access to clean drinking water is a major issue of public 's Health in emerging countries as 30% of the population is affected by hydrique diseases.
    It is a completly ignored market .
    By 2030, towns and cities in the developing world will constitute nearly 81% of urban humanity. It is estimated that 90% of the 3 billion people expected to be added to the population by 2050 will be in developing countries. More than 60% of global population growth between 2008 and 2100 will take place in sub-Saharan Africa (32%) and South Asia (30%).
    However, a critical situation (less than 500 m3 of water available/inhabitant/year) is already affecting several countries (Libia, Yemen, Egypt.), and the chronic shortage (less than 1,000 m3/inhabitant/year) is also affecting many areas. geographic (Bengladesh, Pakistan, India, Sudan....), while being a great challenge for others (example Central Asia). As populations grow, so do the needs to create more jobs, produce more food and more energy. They all depend to some extent on quantitatively and qualitatively limited water resources. Water is a game changer for food systems as enshrined in the UN Dialogue on 27.04.2021.
    In addition, the centralized production of drinking water (400 billion m3) in the world mobilizes, for pumping and treatment, 1% of the electricity consumed on the planet (as much as the electricity consumption of Australia). Leaks on conventional supply networks represent more than 20% of the water mobilized in France and more than 50% in many countries, i.e. a waste of energy in the world estimated at 100 TWh per year (Altereo 2021) .
    The Covid 19 pandemic, by disrupting supply/logistics services, and increasing the quantities of water used for cleaning/disinfection operations, has increased the phenomena of water shortage.
