Assessment of Atmospheric Water Generator for Rural and Remote India
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 2
Abstract
With increasing human population drinking water demands are going to constantly increase which is expected to deplete water sources at ever increasing rate. United Nations SDG goals recognize this issue and identifies access to safe water is essential to human health and to environmental sustainability and economic prosperity of human kind. To cater to this need Government of India has initiated a program called “Har Ghar Jal” to provide safe drinking water to every household premise in India by 2030. In this paper, current national scenario on drinking water and its challenges are analyzed for rural and remote areas of India. Alternative water source namely atmospheric water has been assessed and atmospheric water generator (AWG) technology requirements have been reviewed for “Har Ghar Jal” program. Finally, AWG technological challenges for meeting the requirements have been identified and solution space for the challenges have been defined. The assessment suggests AWG technology would be able to meet all technological challenges for “Har Ghar Jal” targets and AWG has negligible effect on environment.
