Climate Change
Climate change is water change. As weather becomes more unpredictable, and severe droughts or floods occur, traditional water systems are struggling to be resilient and maintain supply. The world's largest and fastest growing cities are running out of water, and climate change will continue to deeply intensify this problem.
Rapid Urbanization
The cities in the world that are growing the fastest are also the cities that struggle the most with piped water supply. Many of these cities across the Global South are growing at exponential rates. Without innovative solutions, these cities will struggle to gather the critical insights and form strategic roadmaps needed to improve water supply for their constituents.
Cost
Piped water infrastructure is leaky and outdated. Fixing leaks in piped water supply paired with building new infrastructure for emerging neighborhoods that are disconnected from the grid requires significant capital investment. This comes at a staggering cost, and is often unobtainable across cities the Global South. The lack of capital needed to bring billions of people piped water highlights the need for innovative solutions to reduce costs and improve efficiency in water distribution.
Quality control
Safety and quality of water across the Global South is a fundamental challenge. Waterborne disease is one of the leading causes of death amongst children under the age of 12. Water must be carefully monitored to avoid these health concerns, particularly in underserved areas across the Global South where access to clean water is limited.
Our Solution
Enabling the future of water distribution
Digital
Traditional water infrastructure is notoriously archaic. PowWater is rethinking water systems for the future with a digital approach. From smart sensors to real-time monitoring systems, our digital infrastructure ensures precise control and efficient management of water resources.
Decentralized
In a changing climate, water sources need to be distributed to ensure flexibility and resilience. PowWater sources water from a decentralized network of water access points to reduce stress on water resources and promote resiliency.
Data-Centric
At the heart of PowWater's innovative approach is a data centric framework that analyzes critical insights to drive decision making. We believe that these data are the missing link needed to build water infrastructure for the world of tomorrow.
Resilient
PowWater's distribution network is designed for resilience. We are adaptable to any environmental challenges that climate change might pose. Our approach enables us to ensure that water delivery is always possible, no matter what external factors come our way.
Water: the world's most pressing problem
Over 5 billion people currently lack reliable and safe piped water access, and by 2050 over half of the world’s population (5 billion people!) will rely on the private water market!
