Wateris a widely available natural resource that is composed of hydrogen and oxygen and is vital for all known forms of life, covering 71% of the earth's surface. Just 3% of our water is potable water which must be made fit for consumption and delivered in a manageable and economic way without waste.
Smarter water, a liquid asset
Fundamental economic role
Water plays an important role in the world economic; it functions as a key element of food and energy production, as a solvent for a wide variety of chemical substances and facilitates industrial cooling, transportation and effluent discharge. Approximately 70% of freshwater is consumed by agriculture.During various processes, water can be subjected to a variety of contaminants such as fertilizers, pesticides, drugs, hormones, metals, synthetic and body care products. The World Health Organization water quality guidelines define than 200 substances found in water, which, when combined with local hydrogeological conditions, result in a wide disparity of country-specific laws and norms.
There is a clear correlation between access to safe water and acceptable levels of human health and standards of living. Access to safe drinking water has improved steadily and substantially almost everywhere in modern times.
Demand rising faster than supply
Useable water for human purposes is such a key natural resource. Demand is rising faster than supply and it is becoming scarcer in certain places. Availability is a major social and economic concern. Currently, about a billion people around the world routinely drink unhealthy water. It is estimated that by 2025 more than half of the world population will be facing water-based vulnerability. A recent report (2030 Water Resources Group, November 2009) suggests that by 2030, in some developing regions of the world, water demand will exceed supply by 50%.
Intelligent disinfection
Critical issues in the provision of drinking water include the minimizing of microbial contamination, and maintaining a correct level of disinfecting agents such as chlorine,where variable concentrations and/or insufficient quantities may result in bad taste and odours.
Safety is increased if multiple barriers are in place and are combined with rapid and in-line (in pipe) detection of disinfection agents such as chlorine.
Philosophy
We are a green technology company committed to sustainability Let's progress from a culture of water supply to one of demand management by developing sustainable and eco-friendly smart sensing solutions facilitating maximum of reusability of water for a cleaner environment
