The Water Pyramid

I was shocked to read the Newspaper Headline "Fill your water buckets today". The Bangalore water supply is shutting all valves to link the new water supply to provide 100 million liters of drinking water to the Bangalore city.

The Big Question is "How far can we survive like this?". It was then I stumbled into Acumen Fund's monthly report & the projects they support.

Aqua Aero Water Systems (AAWS) is project supported by Acumen, that has patented a technology the “Water Pyramid".

Aqua-Aero WaterSystems has developed the WaterPyramid concept for tropical, rural areas. The WaterPyramid combines state of the art technology, capacity building and local entrepreneurship in order to achieve a long lasting (financial) sustainable situation. The WaterPyramid makes use of simple technology to process clean drinking water out of salt, brackish or polluted water. Most of the energy needed to clean the water is obtained from the sun. The application is designed for tropical or subtropical regions around the world, where flat ground space is available together with abundant radiation from the sun.

Benefits:

• Drinking water made easily available
• For remote and local application
• Low operational/maintenance costs
• Can be used for income generation
• Workforce can be locally recruited and trained
• WaterPyramid can be locally produced
• Based on Appropriate Technology
