Sustainable Water Management Strategies by Akvo

India faces a growing water crisis, with 70% of its water polluted (NITI Aayog). At Akvo, we believe clean water is essential for public health, environmental restoration and economic growth. It is key to building a sustainable, pollution-free India.

Our Founder & CEO, Navkaran Singh Bagga, outlines strategies for sustainable water management:

Harnessing Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) Technology

Akvo’s Water Block extracts clean drinking water directly from the air, providing a decentralized, eco-friendly solution. Modular and IoT-enabled, it can be deployed in urban rooftops, rural schools, and remote areas, reducing dependence on groundwater.

Circular Water Management

Promoting water reuse through treatment and recycling ensures minimal waste and sustainable water use across agriculture, industries and households.

Community-Centric Solutions

Empowering communities through:

  • Water User Associations
  • Micro-Irrigation
  • Rainwater Harvesting

These grassroots initiatives ensure efficient water management and long-term impact.

Policy and Public-Private Collaboration

Strong policies like Jal Shakti Abhiyan must integrate technologies like AWGs. Public-private partnerships can accelerate infrastructure development and sustainable water solutions.

Education and Awareness

Raising awareness about water conservation helps change behaviors – reducing waste, encouraging rainwater harvesting and promoting sustainable practices.

Conclusion

At Akvo, we are committed to delivering innovative solutions like the Water Block to secure clean water for all and build a pollution-free future.

Abu Dabhi – Sustainable agriculture with atmospheric water generation

Posted on by admin

Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE
Usage: Unfiltered water generation for agricultural use
Setup Type: AWG (Atmospheric Water Generator)

Background

In the arid environment of Abu Dhabi, where water scarcity is a constant challenge, the Ministry of Presidential Aairs sought a sustainable solution for agricultural water needs. Traditional methods were either too expensive or environmentally unsustainable. A forward thinking approach was required to support local agriculture without straining limited water resources.

Solution

Akvo introduced a specially designed single-phase AWG system that could generate 300 liters of water per day. This innovative solution harnessed ambient humidity to produce water, bypassing the need for energy-intensive desalination or expensive water imports. The unfiltered water was ideal for agricultural applications, providing a fresh source of hydration for plants and landscapes around government facilities.

Impact

– Resource Optimisation: Enabled the Ministry to utilise a renewable source of water, significantly reducing the ecological footprint associated with traditional water sourcing methods.
– Operational Eiciency: The single-phase system was easy to install and required minimal maintenance, making it a practical solution for sustained agricultural support.
– Strategic Resilience: By adopting atmospheric water generation, the Ministry enhanced its water security strategy, ensuring a reliable supply even under adverse climatic condition.
