Maithri Aquatech has set up the ‘World’s First Mobile Water from Air Kiosk and Water Knowledge Centre’ with the use of its ‘MEGHDOOT solution’ in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
Maithri Aquatech is a startup, formed under the initiative ‘Make in India’
MEGHDOOT means ‘Messenger of the Sky’.
This initiative is supported by GVMC (Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation) and project SEWAH (Sustainable Enterprises for Water and Health).
MEGHDOOT solution
It is the only atmospheric water generator approved by the Ministry of Jal Shakti.
By using this technology, kiosk will provide clean, mineral-enriched potable water by harvesting the moisture in the air.
That air is independent of the existing groundwater and surface water resources.
It is an environmentally friendly and capable of producing 100% microbe-free potable water on a sustainable basis.
It is capable of generating over 1 million litres of water every single day.
The water generated meets the WHO (World Health Organization) as well as Indian Standards of potable water.
Note
The kiosk will also act as a Water Knowledge Resource Centre by creating awareness to local communities and nearby schools on the benefits of good water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) practices.
