Smart Water Solutions is extending its activities

Since April SWS accelerated its activities. The new local councils (Gram Panchayat) were installed and their budgets approved. During the last three months the focus wason improving our market penetration. In the villages home delivery has been introduced as an additional service. New staff was added to our local team and the staff consists at the moment of 3 women and 3 men. The coming months new staff will be hired.

25 potential new villages were selected and the coming period we will sign at least 5 contracts with local authorities together with WASMO (Water and Sanitation Management Organization).

SWS signed a MOU with Banas Dairy a cooperative from Palanpure with four running plants. We will implement a demonstration project to produce drinking water out of the waste water provided by the plant located at the Banas Dairy factory site.

SWS also signed a MOU with the ngo Avval to setup 16 new shops between July-December 2017 and to take care of the operation of 4 existing water shops in the peri-urban area of Ahmedabad. The concept differs from the rural water shop model not only because it is located in the peri-urban slums but also because we will install simple purification machines that deliver 1 litre of chilled water at a time. People pay by using coins.

                                                                                                                                             SWS participated June 9 in the Water4Innovation event in Geneva. We had a stand and also prepared a pitch. The event was also a good networking moment.
