Alternative water supply for remote locations: Atmospheric Water Generation

(
Private sector
)
#SDGAction43859
    Description
    Description
    We are a private company that invests in R+D to develop the best Atmospheric Water Generators. Our mission is to provide solutions that bring access to quality drinking water, at low cost, in a sustainable way, even in places without any previous access to water. This solution is decentralized and allows people and autonomous water management.
    Expected Impact

    We expect to extend this solution and continue working on making the technology more efficient and affordable.
