Sri Lanka Start-up Bottles Drinking Water from the Air
Dehiwala, Sri Lanka -- October 4, 2017 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- Ranil Somaweera, entrepreneur and CEO of the new company,
Rainmaker Water Pvt Ltd., today announced that the company will use
air to water generation technology from Rainmaker Worldwide Inc.
(OTC:RAKR)
to capture water from the air and then bottle it.
"Sri Lanka has suffered from water shortages as a result of the
over-utilization of tube wells as well as climatic conditions,"
said Somaweera. "The effects of climate change have
transferred some of our ground water into the atmosphere which has
caused many droughts that have limited our access to clean drinking
water."
"We are excited to begin using Rainmaker's Air-to-Water
generators to offer fresh water to the Sri Lankan market. We are
deploying our first unit within the next 60 days. With one
generator, we can produce 3.6 million 500mL bottles annually. We
are planning to deploy 10 units by this time next year to ramp up
production to 36 million bottles as new machines come online."
In reference to Sri Lanka, the U.S. National Library has
published that the primary problems concerning water resources in
Sri Lanka are the depletion and degradation of the resource caused
by various man-made activities. Surface inland waters in urban
areas are polluted heavily with domestic and industrial sewage, and
in rural areas with agricultural runoff. With regard to ground
water in certain areas of the dry zone, there is a high fluoride
content and in hard, rocky, alluvial areas, a high concentration of
iron. In urban over-crowded cities, there is biological
contamination of ground water. Over-utilization, particularly
through tube wells, is another major problem affecting ground water
resources in Sri Lanka.
Michael O'Connor, President and CEO of Rainmaker Worldwide said,
"Rainmaker's Air-to-Water technology is an ideal fit for Sri
Lanka's climate and we are excited that Rainmaker Water PVT will be
utilizing our technology exclusively. The clean water that a
Rainmaker machine will harvest is perfect for bottling and will
have a clean, refreshing taste."
Rainmaker's purpose is to produce clean water for communities in
need so they can thrive and never go thirsty.
