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.
