In urban areas, drinking water, pollution, traffic congestion and garbage clearance are top concerns for voters, reveals the survey.

India goes to the polls next month and while environment is not the number one priority for voters, it does feature among the major issues that voters, especially in urban areas, are concerned about.

  1. Dear Friends in Water professionals, My colleague and I are working on a flash water vaporiser, which will create clean potable water it's project name is "Water Wall", we have had a small successful trial and are now conducting further research. The water will be produced from the atmosphere and it is not from humidification or desalination. We will be looking for any potential partners who are capable in terms of research assets and marketing ability to help us to bring this to market. We have aspirations of providing the units to individual homes and it  is envisaged that it could be used for agri use and for leisure facilities such as gardens, golf courses and new housing developments which have a large amount of landscaping. Thank you all for your kind consideration, best regards Paul Bergin.

    1. Hi Paul, the best way to get visibility of your product on The Water Network is to create an organization and product in the business exchange. This is no charge. To promote it to targeted members is easy for a small fee per month, just click "sponsor Now"

    2. Dear Chandra, Thank you for requesting further information and details of Water Wall. We will shortly be starting a project at Liverpool John Moores University, Mechanical Eng Dept.To enhance and work on the prototype. Water Wall itself, will be based on creating fresh potable water from the atmosphere and making it accessible enough to be placed outside the homes of people who need it most. This could be in single 8'x4'x2' sections for small households or we have aspirations of multiple ones for high rise buildings. One of our ideas is that by utilising reusable plastic containers, we can help stop plastic waste and help make the finished product as econmonical as possible, the market for this is huge, not just for India but most of the world too! If you would kindly send me your email address to my personal one, Pbergin2@aol.com, then perhaps we can discuss our plans in further details etc.I look forward to your feedback and questions. Best regards Paul
