Remote Waters , a new Chilean company, has emerged as a promising solution to address the problem of water scarcity in rural areas. The company has created a system that can purify 1,000 liters of water per hour , benefiting up to 100 households with each unit.
This innovative system not only contributes to improving public health, but also generates positive impacts on agriculture, trade, and education within the affected communities. Furthermore, it seeks to mitigate conflicts arising from water scarcity.
So far, Remote Waters has implemented seven of these units in Chile, marking a significant transformation in the lives of thousands of households.
Solar technology at the service of water
Remote Waters focuses particularly on rural and remote areas where access to clean drinking water is scarce and expensive. The company has designed modular water treatment and desalination systems specifically suited to these regions. These solar-powered systems transform non-potable water sources, such as brackish or seawater, into safe drinking water.
Once purified, the water is stored in pressurized systems or elevated tanks for easy distribution. A key feature of these systems is their ability to be operated and monitored remotely, reducing maintenance costs and improving the efficiency of troubleshooting. These systems are available for both purchase and lease.
Remote Waters: Expanding Horizons and Strategic Alliances
Pablo Cassorla, founder and CEO of Remote Waters, has ambitious plans. The company is in negotiations with major corporations to explore financing opportunities and expand its business model to other Latin American countries. The goal is to franchise the brand and increase its capacity to provide clean water to various communities.
This project is in line with UN Sustainable Development Goal number 6, which aims to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
Recent innovations in this field range from solar nanogrids that provide water and energy to digital technologies for water treatment. The Remote Waters initiative stands as a prime example of how technology and innovation can play a significant role in addressing pressing global challenges.
