Maithri Aquatech at the Berkeley Innovation Forum hosted by UC Berkeley and NASA.

Aquatech had the honor of getting invited to participate in the prestigious Berkeley Innovation Forum, co-hosted by University of California, Berkeley, Haas School of Business and NASA Ames Research Center. This event was a global platform that brought together industry leaders and innovators from across the world, to explore the transformative power of open innovation in nurturing a sustainable future for our planet.

During the event, our CEO Mr. Naveen Mathur was invited to speak about our groundbreaking ‘water from air’ technology as part of the Innovators Round Table panel, to an august gathering of global leaders and academia.

We were also thrilled to showcase our MEGHDOOT® Atmospheric Water Generator at the NASA Ames Research Center, California, a testament to our commitment to sustainability and innovation.

We are proud to be part of a community that values innovation and sustainability for the sake of our future generations.

Make water from air and make a difference!

Water woes | How some institutions in Bengaluru are harvesting water out of thin air

Imagine getting around 100 liters of water every day from thin air when Bengaluru is battling a water crisis. Thanks to a technology called atmospheric water generation, several institutions in Bengaluru, including government schools and hospitals, have regular water supply source on their premises.

The Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) uses cutting edge technology under which water vapour in the air is converted into fresh and clean drinking water, which is 100% microbe-free. The vapour is converted to water droplets through the process of condensation. The water then goes through multiple filtration processes and is also passed through a mineral cartridge to infuse necessary minerals.

K. R. Puram Government Hospital was among the initial beneficiaries of this technology with the installation of two AWGs almost four years ago. With an installed capacity of 300 liters, the water from these generators is used for the dialysis center and maternity division in the hospital in east Bengaluru.
