Access to clean drinking water remains a critical issue worldwide, especially for underserved communities facing the challenges of water scarcity. AKVO Atmospheric Water Systems, founded in 2017 by Navkaran Singh Bagga in Kolkata, is pioneering an innovative solution to this pressing problem by turning atmospheric moisture into clean, drinkable water.
Revolutionary Technology for Water Access
AKVO’s Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) technology extracts moisture from the air, transforming it into potable water. This system works effectively in regions with moderate humidity, making it adaptable to diverse climates and geographic conditions. By addressing water scarcity in areas lacking traditional water infrastructure, AKVO’s technology offers a lifeline to underserved communities, ensuring clean water where it is most needed.
Sustainability at Its Core
AKVO is deeply committed to sustainability. Unlike traditional water extraction methods, which can be environmentally damaging, AKVO’s systems produce water with minimal carbon emissions. Moreover, they are designed to work with renewable energy sources, particularly solar power, enabling off-grid, self-sustained water generation. This eco-friendly approach reduces reliance on non-renewable resources, making AKVO’s solution both green and scalable.
Affordable and Impactful
In addition to being environmentally sustainable, AKVO’s systems are economically viable. By eliminating the need for bottled water and expensive purification methods, AKVO offers long-term savings for businesses and communities. This model helps reduce plastic waste while providing a cost-effective, reliable water source.
Real-World Impact: Case Studies
AKVO’s technology has already made a significant impact across the globe:
- In Haldia, West Bengal, AKVO’s systems provided safe drinking water for 900 employees at an oil refinery plagued by arsenic contamination.
- In Abu Dhabi, their AWGs produced 300 liters of water daily to support sustainable farming in arid conditions.
- In Bengaluru, businesses have cut costs and reduced plastic waste by replacing bottled water with AKVO’s sustainable solutions.
With installations in 15 countries producing 250,000 liters of water daily, AKVO’s global presence is growing, delivering life-changing solutions in diverse settings.
A Future of Collaboration and Scaling Impact
As global water demand continues to rise, AKVO is positioned to expand its impact through partnerships with corporations, NGOs, and governments. By collaborating with key stakeholders, AKVO aims to scale its technology and tackle water scarcity on a larger scale – empowering communities and businesses to secure their own sustainable water sources.
