The AquaBot provides push button operation, easily dispensing an accurate amount of water to each user at an affordable rate which benefits the community and sustains the operation of the system for many years into the future. Each AquaBot is placed in a location that benefits the maximum number of people and is installed in conjunction with a deep and properly drilled well, ensuring a constant supply of water.

The AquaBot is constructed with a tower and platform supporting a water storage tank. This storage tank supplies water to the community taps located at the base of the AquaBot. Solar panels are mounted at the top of the tower to ensure security and maximum exposure to the sun. Sustainability is at the core of this system. The AquaBot is integrated with a metered token system. Each community member who wishes to use the water is supplied with an electronic token that activates the water taps. No caretaker needs to be present for people to have access to the water.

Money collected from the AquaBot is automatically deposited into a Management Fund Account. This money is available for maintaining and repairing the system.

Communities are engaged from the beginning of the AquaBot project, so they understand its purpose and support it.

Many communities can afford to pay the small fee for their water, this is established by conducting a survey in each community. We conduct a comprehensive baseline survey before any site is chosen for an AquaBot.
