Smart Water ATM

Our Smart Water ATM projects aim to revolutionize water access in communities in Nigeria. Through the installation of innovative water dispensers, equipped with cutting-edge technology, we are ensuring clean and accessible water for all.

Project Overview

Our cutting-edge water ATM ensures the delivery of purified water while offering real-time monitoring of field data and essential process parameters. This guarantees stakeholders access to consistently high-quality water. Powered by solar energy and connected to the cloud, our solution allows remote tracking of both water quality and quantity, contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions during water supply. Furthermore, our innovative approach minimizes the use of plastic bottled water, actively promoting a circular economy and mitigating environmental degradation caused by plastic bottle waste.

Operational Principles of our Water Stations

  1. Raw Water Intake:

    Water flows into the raw water tank, by a small pumping system.
  2. Water Treatment Unit:

    The water undergoes treatment within the Water station, ensuring the removal of harmful elements to meet safety standards.
  3. Advanced Treatment Technologies:

    Various treatment technologies, such as iron, arsenic, and fluoride removal, are employed based on specific requirements.
  4. Fully Automated Treatment Unit:

    The treatment unit operates fully automatically, featuring auto backwash, auto flushing of filters, and timely on-off systems for seamless functionality.
  5. Solar-Powered System:

    The entire system relies on solar power, with a solar panel system connected to the Water station.

Social and Economic Impacts

By implementing our water stations, we aim to bring about profound social and economic changes:

  1. Reliable Drinking Water:

    Communities will have access to a reliable source of drinking water, significantly reducing the occurrences of waterborne diseases, and improving overall health statistics.
  2. Healthcare Cost Savings:

    Families will experience savings on healthcare expenses related to the treatment of waterborne diseases, contributing to improved financial well-being.
  3. Reduced Work Absenteeism:

    Water-related illnesses often lead to work absenteeism. Our initiative aims to diminish such occurrences, promoting a healthier and more productive workforce.
  4. Youth Empowerment and Job Creation:

    The development and construction of water ATM stations present opportunities for sustainable local jobs. Engaging youths in these initiatives empowers them, fostering skill development and creating a positive impact.
  5. Youth Engagement in Policy and Advocacy:

    Youth involvement extends beyond construction. We strive to engage young minds in policy and advocacy, providing a platform for them to influence positive changes in their communities.
  6. Social Entrepreneurship Development:

    Our initiative goes beyond infrastructure; it nurtures social entrepreneurship. By encouraging innovation and community-driven solutions, we pave the way for sustainable and impactful ventures.

Join us in fostering a future where communities thrive with reliable access to clean water, improved health outcomes, and empowered youth actively shaping positive changes. Together, we can create lasting social and economic impacts that transform lives.

Progress Update

As of January 2024, we have successfully identified 150 communities with low access to potable water to implement Smart Water ATM projects. These projects not only provide a reliable source of clean water but also empower communities with sustainable water management practices.
