Akvo Water from Air Pilot Program – Damoh, MP
Hardua Mangarh, a small village in Damoh faces drought on a regular basis and coupled with depleting ground water available, the local Government has been fighting water crisis for the past few years. With no source of water, providing safe drinking water to the local population has become a challenge.
On August 2018, the local government sought Akvo’s Air to water technology to test its water from air machines in a pilot program to meet the drinking water demands. Akvo in coordination with the local authorities installed its Akvo 365K machine, a 1000 Liter of water from air per day machine thus ensuring continuous supply of uninterrupted safe drinking water for local population of Hardua Mangarh.
After the completion of the pilot program more Akvo Atmospheric water generators will be installed in strategic locations to fulfil the drinking water demand.
Economic and Physical Scarcity of Water
Water scarcity, widely understood and explained as the lack of safe drinking water is one of the leading problems affecting over 1.1 billion people in the world. That is approximately one fifth of the planet. One in every three people, in every continent, faces water scarcity. Continue reading “Economic and Physical Scarcity of Water”
A Future without Water
A future without water…? If you think this is rhetoric, let me assure you it is not. It is a definite possibility in a future as near as 2050. That merits the question, what will happen to the human race when there is no water for consumption? And what of the planet and other life forms on it? Let’s try and answer these questions. We shall then talk about the current water crisis the world is plunged in right now and how atmospheric water generators can make a difference. It might sound far-fetched but consider this… Continue reading “A Future without Water”
Depleting Sources of Freshwater
Is the water crisis a myth or a fact of life? With increasing population and rising temperatures, fresh water sources are under tremendous pressure.
About 97% of the water on planet earth is salt water and that leaves us with about 3% of freshwater out of which only around 1 or 2% is fit for human consumption. With increasing population and rising temperatures, fresh water sources are under tremendous pressure. Continue reading “Depleting Sources of Freshwater”
The State of Water in India
According to a report in the Times of India on World Water Day, March 23, 2018, Bengaluru could soon join Cape Town as two of the top metropolitan cities that are inexorably moving towards ‘Day Zero’ or a situation when taps run dry. Continue reading “The State of Water in India”
Why is there dire water shortage in some parts of the world?
There is an abundance of water in the atmosphere. 71% of the earth is covered with water. There is water in the atmosphere as well, in the form of water vapour. At any given point of time, there is a staggering 37.5 million billion gallons of water present in the atmosphere in the vapour form. Then why is it that there is a scarcity of water in certain parts of the world? Continue reading “Why is there dire water shortage in some parts of the world?”

Ensuring a perennial source
Akvo, an atmospheric water generator system, is one of the perfect alternatives to combat the crisis of scarcity.
With the increasing rate of different kinds of environmental pollution, availability of fresh water has now become a distant dream. More than half the population in India have poor or no access to safe drinking water. Continue reading “The Statesman”

Eye-popping products at EZCC show.
Drinking water out of thin air. That is what one of the stalls claimed to produce with a machine called Atmospheric Water Generator.
WATER FROM AIR
Drinking water out of thin air. That is what one of the stalls claimed to produce with a machine called Atmospheric Water Generator.
“You don’t need any natural or artificial source of water be it a tap, a tank, a pond or a river,” smiled the man at the counter.
AKVO, a Calcutta-based company, manufactures drinking water using a air-to-water technology which replicates the natural process of condensation by simulating the dew point, which allows it to produce water continuously.
The machine produces water ranging from 30 to 1,000 litres, depending on the product specification, from atmospheric moisture in the air and filters out the dust and micro particles in air through a powerful organic filtrating process. It reportedly has litle maintenance cost, unlike other purifiers.
“Decline in rainfall, depletion of fresh water resources and increase in population are posing great threats to humanity. In the days to come, when we will have to face water scarcity, such a product would be a blessing,” the company official at the stall said.
The machine that produces 30l daily will cost Rs 60-70,000 and will be available in a couple of months. The 100l Akvo is available in the market and costs about Rs 1 lakh. Orders are coming in from Dubai and South Africa, he said.
