Akvo Atmospheric Water Systems Announces Commercial Launch of its Water-on-Want Initiative in Tamil Nadu

Akvo Atmospheric Water Systems Pvt Ltd, a leading water technology company, has announced the commercial launch of its Water-on-Want (WoW) initiative in Tamil Nadu for corporate clients. This innovative model is based on an OPEX-driven Build Own Operate Transfer (BOOT) contract, allowing businesses to access Akvo’s water generation technology with zero upfront capital investment (CAPEX).

A Sustainable & Cost-Effective Water Solution

After an extensive 18-month pilot phase, the WoW initiative has been optimized to help corporations meet their daily water needs in a sustainable, cost-effective, and risk-free manner. With a minimum daily offtake of 500 litres per day (LPD), this initiative is set to redefine corporate water sourcing.

How the OPEX BOOT Model Works

Unlike traditional water procurement methods, the OPEX BOOT model ensures that corporations do not need to purchase or maintain any equipment. Instead, clients pay a variable charge based on actual water consumption, making the process flexible and financially viable. Akvo retains ownership, installation, maintenance, and operation of the Atmospheric Water Generators (AWGs) throughout the contract period, ensuring a seamless, hassle-free experience for businesses.

A Step Towards Sustainable Corporate Water Management

The Water-on-Want initiative aligns with corporate sustainability goals, enabling businesses to reduce their dependence on groundwater and other depleting sources. By utilizing Akvo’s cutting-edge AWG technology, companies can contribute to environmental conservation while ensuring a reliable water supply.

With this launch, Akvo is setting new benchmarks in sustainable water solutions for the corporate sector, reinforcing its commitment to innovative and responsible water management.

Smart Water for Smart Cities: Building the Water Systems of Tomorrow

By Navkaran Singh Bagga, Founder & CEO, AKVO

Water is a fundamental resource shaping economies, societies, and environments. With rapid urbanization and climate change affecting water availability, cities must adopt Smart Water Management to ensure a sustainable and efficient future.

The Need for Smart Water
Traditional water infrastructure struggles to meet modern urban demands. Smart Water integrates IoT, AI, and predictive analytics to optimize distribution, detect leaks, and improve quality.

Technology & Innovation in Water Management
Smart meters track real-time consumption, AI detects inefficiencies, and Atmospheric Water Generators (AWG) extract water from air, reducing dependence on traditional sources. Water quality sensors further ensure safe drinking water supply.

Policy & Public-Private Collaboration
Governments must implement regulatory frameworks that encourage water conservation and technological innovation. Public-private partnerships are key to developing sustainable water systems.

CSR & Sustainable Urbanism
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is no longer just an obligation—it is a commitment to long-term water sustainability. Businesses can contribute by adopting smart water strategies, implementing rainwater harvesting, and promoting circular water economies.

The Future of Water in Smart Cities
The transition to smart water solutions is not just an engineering challenge but a moral and environmental imperative. By embracing innovation, collaboration, and sustainability, we can create resilient urban water systems for present and future generations.

“2024 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.”

The global water crisis, exacerbated by climate change, urbanization, and population growth, requires immediate and innovative action. Navkaran Singh Bagga, CEO & Founder of AKVO, highlights how technology is reshaping water management for a sustainable future. Digital tools like IoT sensors, satellite imagery, and AI-driven analytics enable real-time monitoring and predictive insights, allowing water managers to address issues before they escalate. Circular water economies and advanced wastewater treatment further contribute by transforming waste into reusable water, reducing reliance on dwindling freshwater sources.

Equally groundbreaking is Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG), which harnesses moisture from the air to produce safe drinking water, even in arid regions. Precision agriculture and smart irrigation optimize water use in farming, addressing a sector responsible for 70% of global water withdrawals. Achieving global water resilience, however, requires more than technology; collaborative ecosystems, supportive policies, and community empowerment are critical. By leveraging innovation, fostering partnerships, and ensuring equitable access, we can transition from crisis to sustainability.
