1. Water woes | How some institutions in Bengaluru are harvesting water out of thin air
Imagine getting around 100 litres of water every day from thin air when Bengaluru is battling a water crisis. Enter Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG), which uses cutting edge technology to convert water vapour in the air into fresh and 100% microbe-free drinking water. The vapour is converted to water droplets through the process of condensation. The water then goes through multiple filtration processes and is also passed through a mineral cartridge to infuse necessary minerals.
Several institutions in Bengaluru, including government schools and hospitals, have benefitted from this. K. R. Puram Government Hospital was among the initial beneficiaries of this technology almost four years ago. With an installed capacity of 300 litres, the water from these generators is used for the dialysis centre and maternity division in the hospital in east Bengaluru.
