CSIR-IICT has signed an MoU with Maithri Aquatech Pvt Ltd to make a low-cost atmospheric water generator (AWG) with indigenous technology inputs.

AWG is an eco-friendly source of freshwater, which uses heat exchange for condensing moisture from the atmoshpere. It is estimated that every litre of water extracted from an AWG conserves two litres from surface or ground sources.

The IICT-Maithri Aquatech collaboration hopes to fabricate the first unit of 1,000 litres/day and launch it in August. Subsequently, they will take up production in larger numbers to be set up in rural and coastal areas to benefit populations in regions where it is required the most, say Arun Tiwari of CARE Foundation and S Chandrasekhar, Director of IICT, who are piloting the project.

here is company details.
