Watergen GEN-M’s generators produce clean drinking water for future sustainability.
Israeli technology is set to convert air into clean drinking water for Native American communities in the United States.
The effort is part of a collaboration between Israeli and American enterprises.
A crowdfunding campaign is underway to supply four Watergen GEN-M water generating machines to Native American communities in need.
The GEN-M atmospheric water generator requires no special infrastructure except for electricity and collects water by cooling collected air at its dew point. The water then goes through physical, chemical and biological treatment, followed by a mineralization process to ensure cleanliness and pleasant taste.
The campaign was launched by Israeli water-from-air tech company Watergen, Native American nonprofit Bright Path Strong and Native American-owned distribution company 4D Products & Services.
Each dollar donated will be matched by Watergen and 4D until the goal of $400,000 is reached. StandWithUs, an Israeli education NGO, will promote the campaign on multiple platforms.
“Access to clean drinking water has been a challenge for Native communities for decades,” said Chris Taylor, Bright Path Strong co-director. “This has amplified the effects of the ongoing pandemic in our communities, leaving them among the most hard hit and vulnerable.
“Thanks to Watergen, StandWithUs and 4D Products & Services, we are not only spotlighting these issues but creating real and practical solutions that will sustain our communities into the future.”
Michael Mirilashvili, Watergen president, said this project is a critical part of the company’s goal.
“When I took control of Watergen, I did so with a clear vision — to guarantee the best quality drinking water to every human being on the planet through the deployment of the company’s revolutionary drinking water from air technology,” he said.
