Become water-sensitive; every fifth child in the world confronts water scarcity.

Water stress had been worsened by decades of mismanagement, over-extraction of groundwater, and poisoning of freshwater supplies. Water stress has also been compounded by rapid population increase, urbanization, climate change, and extreme weather occurrences, resulting in a reduction in accessible quantities of safe water.

The world's water crisis isn't just coming; it's now here, and climate change is only exacerbating it. It is a human right to have access to safe drinking water. So, according to UNICEF, 2.2 billion people around the world still lack access to safe drinking water? If 2.2 billion of those individuals do not have access to safe drinking water, that means nearly one-third, of the world's population does not have safe drinking water. Statistics like these should numb us.

While everyone feels the effects of water scarcity, the most vulnerable children suffer the most. Children and families in vulnerable areas are confronted with the double-edged sword of dealing with severe water shortages while also having the poorest water services, making access to adequate water particularly vulnerable to climate shocks and catastrophic occurrences.

Every child has the right to grow up in a clean and safe environment. Children who have access to clean water, basic toilets, and proper hygiene habits not only thrive but also have a healthier start in life. According to a recent survey of 24 developing nations in Asia and Africa, more than 3.5 million children regularly retrieve all of their families' water. They carry approximately 45-pound buckets of water for more than 30 minutes each way. Children in underdeveloped nations walk an average of 3.75 miles per day to collect water, which equates to 6-7 hours per day.

When wells run dry, it is the children that miss school to go fetch water. Droughts reduce food availability, causing hunger and stunting in children. Children become ill from waterborne infections when floods occur. When water resources are scarce, children are unable to wash their hands to protect themselves from sickness.

Waterborne infections like dysentery and rotavirus, which cause severe diarrhea, are caused by contaminated water. Proper health and hygiene habits can save lives, particularly in underdeveloped countries where the poorest children are most vulnerable. Diarrhea is the most common cause of illness in children resulting in a newborn dying every minute and a child under the age of five dying every 12 seconds.

Despite COVID-19 putting the spotlight on the importance of hand hygiene to prevent the spread of disease, three billion people worldwide, including hundreds of millions of school-going children, do not have access to handwashing facilities with soap. We all have a part to play in lowering our water consumption's consequences on our water-scarce world. It is critical that we invest as a society in technology that will ensure that all residents of the world have access to clean drinking water in the future.

How is Maithri Aquatech’s mission to protect humanity and a vision to change the world is working? We believe that supplying clean water is a comprehensive activity at Maithri Aquatech. We adopt a methodology that transforms communities physically, socially, economically, and spiritually, simply providing clean water isn't enough. This is accomplished by investing in people, adopting safe water solutions, partnering for long-term success, and imparting hope.

The approach is building Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) systems, which are reliable sources of clean, safe water in areas where water is scarce, inadequate, or contaminated. A method for extracting drinkable water from the atmosphere is atmospheric water generation (AWG). These systems do not require a water source, operate off the grid, do not waste water, and offer clean drinking water as needed. They don't rely on finite natural resources and don't emit any carbon emissions.

The amount of water vapour in the atmosphere is enormous, and atmospheric water generation is a method of harvesting that vapour to produce safe drinking water — the higher the humidity in the air, the more water that may be produced. The water produced by our AWGs is pure, free of contaminants, and provides an environmentally beneficial approach of supplying safe, pure water.

Water scarcity is a serious problem, and acceptance of AWG technology might provide a large source of clean water. AWGs can supply safe, pure water and aid with water security, guaranteeing that everyone has access to safe drinking water independent of municipal infrastructure failures or climate change. Small residential devices that can produce 25 litres per day to big units that can produce over 10,000 litres per day, AWG systems come in a variety of sizes. The air temperature and the amount of water vapour (i.e., humidity) present have a considerable impact on the rate of water production.

Our specialists at Maithri take the mission even further as we believe it is just not enough to provide clean water by establishing water systems and then walking away; compassion necessitates us to connect with the communities we serve and teach them how to be sustainable so that they may succeed in the long run. Maintaining a long-term monitoring and evaluation plan is one approach to accomplish so.

We gathered an authoritative panel of water industry professionals to examine distinct problems, possibilities, and possible paths ahead to better grasp what the future of water management might bring. Our monthly webinars addresses scenarios that spark strategic debates, foster collaboration and technological development, and encourage new and inventive ways of thinking.

We believe that people who have hope live in a world where they are free to thrive. We build optimism in the people and communities we serve by providing safe water solutions. It is easy to limit ourselves to thinking about safe water solutions while considering strategies to offer clean water. However, delivering clean water entails much more. To be genuinely successful, it needs investing in people, developing safe water systems, teaching for long-term sustainability, and inspiring optimism. We can end the world water crisis if we work together.

We must act immediately to handle the water situation and prevent it from worsening. Only through innovation, investment, and collaboration, as well as ensuring that services are sustainable and robust to climatic shocks, can we ensure water security for everyone. We must take action to save our planet.

Water availability, quality, water treatment options, and water reuse decisions we make today have an impact on the future living standards of communities all over the world. What is going to happen? No one is aware. However, it's critical to think about the options. Talk to our experts and learn more.

The Climate Crisis Is Not Waiting for Us. Can We Afford To NOT ACT?

Existing dangers to our well-being are worsening, we are witnessing stronger hurricanes, rising seas, longer droughts to name a few. The impacts of the climate crisis are far-reaching, and a large majority of people in the world do not even know the truth about what is happening to our planet or what we can do.

Climate change is a man-made disaster. Our climate is changing primarily as a result of increased levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), caused by human behaviors and necessities such as the burning of fossil fuels and the cutting down of trees for domestic and industrial purposes, among other things. Burning fossil fuels and cutting trees have added hundreds of billions of tonnes of heat-trapping CO2 into the atmosphere throughout the decades, where it will remain for millennia. The increased carbon and heat are more than the Earth's perfectly balanced ecosystems can tolerate. All of this is human-created.

The Last century rose the average world temperature by more than 1 degree Celsius with two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1975. On its face, this might not seem like a lot, but with each degree Celsius increase in temperature, the atmosphere stores 7% more water vapour, resulting in catastrophic rainfall events that wash out essential crops, as well as devastating hurricanes that bring strong storm surges, floods, and lightning strikes.

It is true that even if we stopped releasing carbon pollution today, we'd still be dealing with the effects of climate change for a long time. The pollution that has contributed to our current crisis remains in the atmosphere for tens to hundreds of years; climate change is not a phenomenon that can be stopped in its tracks suddenly. Now that we all agree that humans are creating this problem and as a result, the atmosphere is storing 7% more water vapour creating disasters, can we now look at a brighter side?

What we need is a transition to a just inclusive, and climate-stable ecosystem that will improve overall public health outcomes. Create systems that are climate-smart and energy efficient to ensure that our communities are safe, healthy, and long-lasting.

We cannot change human behavior overnight, maybe not even in decades, but maybe we can use this extra water vapour in the atmosphere thanks to us. So, what do we do with this? We understand the importance of water availability for the ecosystem. Hence let us consider the possibility that atmospheric water technology brings for a global climate crisis.

The central principle of Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) technology is the extraction of moisture from the surrounding air to produce water. An Atmospheric Water Generator cools the air below its dew point, then removes the ambient moisture from the air as potable water by putting it under pressure. It's comparable to a dehumidifier in many ways, but it generates drinkable water instead.

Warmer regions with a high amount of humidity are ideal for AWG technology. In chilly climates, it is less effective. Now, who can benefit from atmospheric water generation technology? AWG enables those who are experiencing natural or man-made water shortages to reduce or eliminate their problems. The minimal cost of construction and parts availability make this technology very appealing. Many places lack the financial resources to invest in a cutting-edge water treatment system, but they can design and manufacture AWG devices. Moreover, it is applicable for areas whose freshwater supply has been polluted to great extent or an area that is dominated by agricultural activities.

200,000 trillion litres of water vapour is held in the atmosphere we breathe. It would reach halfway to the moon if we put it all into a 1x1 kilometer column. If healthy humans require 1 litre of pure drinking water per day, the world's 8 billion people's daily drinking water needs could be satisfied utilizing only 0.000004% of the water vapour in the atmosphere.

The challenge is finding a cost-effective way to make that water vapour available in liquid form to those who need it most – those who rely on bottled water or don't have access to reliable piped water. Atmospheric water generators are a novel technology that generates “Water from Air”, it takes water vapour from the environment and converts it to liquid water. Phase change, or the conversion of water vapour to liquid form, is the process through which atmospheric water is produced. Researchers have been trying to figure out how to tap into the massive amount of water ready to be retrieved in the atmosphere for quite some time. The goal is to develop phase-change devices that can capture water vapour from the atmosphere and convert it to liquid at a low cost.

We need something that doesn't affect ground or surface water if we want climate-proof drinking water, thus phase change devices are a good option. When traditional water supply systems are destroyed or out of function for several days due to natural disasters, atmospheric water producers have a lot of potentials. It's exciting to think about re-inventing drinking water supply chains. Drinking water for disadvantaged people can be detached from standard water treatment and piped water infrastructure using this family of devices.

As a result, personal water ownership, like what has been happening with distributed renewable energy systems, is a possibility. This is also known as energy storage in a glass. In any case, it's turning up to be a potentially game-changing approach to addressing water security issues in the world.

Atmospheric Water Generators (AWGs)

The technology pulls “water from air" and converts it to pure, safe drinking water. In these times, Atmospheric Water Generators are critical for everyone who wants pure and clean drinking water without the risk of municipal contamination or the expense of carrying and storing bottled water. As a result, plastic water bottle waste and the necessity for water bottle/container deliveries are eliminated, lowering the ‘carbon footprint.' Water from air is the purest and most abundant water supply in the world. Atmospheric water generators produce safe drinking water from the air we breathe simply and reliably.

AWGs can provide you with the solution to your water needs and in doing so will help reduce ‘carbon footprint’ and achieve both an ecological & economical answer to the ever-increasing water crisis.

Maithri Aquatech is reinventing water access and water purification with decentralized, sustainable, and highly scalable water solutions. Maithri Aquatech distributes ‘state-of-the-art' Atmospheric Water Generators that produce the purest, most natural drinking water possible directly from the humidity in the air we breathe.

Maithri Aquatech's MEGHDOOT AWGs are designed for domestic, industrial, and commercial usages producing water ranging from 50, 100, 250, 500, 1500, 3000 and 5000 litres per day (lpd). Maithri’s MEGHDOOT AWG systems are decentralized sources of water, as they are both a water generation and purification solution in one and they also provide re-mineralized water with customized solutions. The filtration mechanism is state-of-the-art, ensuring that they dispense quality, re-mineralized drinking water.

Maithri’s AWG systems are used in industries, construction, farms, hospitals, hotels, residential, rural areas, navies, fisheries, defense, educational institutes, and many more. These systems require no water source, can work off the grid, do not waste any water, and yet provide clean potable water as per requirement. They do not rely on delicate natural resources and produce no carbon emissions. As powered by renewable

energy, there are zero emissions both directly and indirectly.

Experts at Maithri Aquatech deliberate on the real issue every day- humans historically were satisfied with ground and surface water. But now, there is a serious scarcity due to our erratic and irresponsible behavior.

Where do we go? Where do we tap into? Surplus air around the blue planet seems the only quick, feasible and reliable option.
