Water is a common element for 16 out of 17 UN-SDG It is now evident that future cities will have only two sources of water; 1. Sewage Water and 2. Atmospheric Water. For urban areas, this would be a reality in near future, and in areas where sewage water isn’t available atmospheric water would remain the only solution.

Earth’s atmosphere has approximately 1.4^17 liters of water and is continuously being replenished by humid air currents traveling globally. Finding efficient ways of collecting water from the earth’s atmosphere is a must To solve the eventual water scarcity and safeguard the future of humanity. VayuJal Technologies makes Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) to make a liter of water by minimum energy spending and is today able to provide water at 10-20% less energy cost than a market alternative.

A group effort led by Xylem – India, with VayuJal Technologies, International Center for Clean Water, Vigor Energy, and Gram Vikas; has installed grid-powered and solar-powered VayuJal’s AWG units in Orrisa in varying AQI locations. Solar-AWG installation is proof of generating decentralized stand-alone water sources at the point of use and the same can be replicated anywhere globally.

Further, water generation performance from the VayuJal unit with different AQI, different power sources, and different ambient conditions is being recorded. Field team- Gram Vikas is keeping track of performance and the system is now being maintained and monitored.
