Critical Situations
Water, where it’s needed most.
Communities, schools and hospitals beyond the reach of reliable networks — supplied with drinking water generated from the air, on site.
The Challenge
A crisis of access, not of water.
The air holds more fresh water than all the world’s rivers — yet billions of people start each day without a safe glass of it. Where pipes never arrived, where sources failed, where disaster cut the line, the problem is access. And access is what a machine can deliver.
- Beyond the networkBillions of people live where piped water is absent, intermittent or unsafe to drink.
- Failing infrastructureOverdrawn aquifers, aging pipes and unreliable power turn existing supply into a daily question.
- Disasters hit water firstFloods and droughts contaminate the sources communities depend on — right when need peaks.
- Trucked water is a stopgapBottles and tankers buy time, not security — at a cost that grows with every kilometer.
Why Watergen?
A water source that arrives like relief and stays like infrastructure.
Independent of infrastructure
Water generated from the air on site — no pipelines to build, no wells to drill, no daily deliveries to schedule.
Proven drinking-water quality
Filtered and mineralized on board. In Kerala, government water authorities tested the output and declared it best for human consumption.
Runs on the power you have
Grid, generator or solar hybrid — the first unit in Gaza produces on a mix of solar panels and grid electricity.
Stays with the community
What arrives as relief keeps running as everyday supply — the same machine, serving the same people, years later.
We can not only save millions — but improve the lives of billions.

From the Field
In their words.
Five deployments on four continents — told by the organizations that run them, in lines from the recommendation letters they signed.
Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa
A water point on wheels
In an underserved district of Port Elizabeth, where the few clean sources are overstressed, World Vision South Africa runs a trailer-mounted GEN-M — a mobile water point that goes to the people instead of waiting for pipes.
“The feedback and results of this project were phenomenal, with thousands of people enjoying the water that we brought them with the Watergen machine.”
Gaza Strip
The first water from air in Abassan Al-Kabira
In December 2019, a GEN-M was inaugurated in the town’s municipal building — the first atmospheric water generator in Gaza, introduced with the Arava Institute and its Palestinian partners. With the local grid unreliable, the unit produces hundreds of liters of drinking water a day on a mix of solar panels and grid electricity.
“Watergen’s solution was determined to be the only solution that could provide the amount and quality required.”
Cambodia
Into the national health system
GEN-M units stand at Calmette Hospital and at Kantha Bopha, Cambodia’s largest public children’s hospital — each providing up to 800 liters of drinking water a day. A third, truck-mounted unit was handed to the Cambodian Red Cross by the First Lady, its chairperson, to carry water to the sites of floods and disasters.
“Both hospitals are now able to provide up to 800 liters of pure, clean, and fresh drinking water to staff and patients every day.”
Kerala, India
After the flood, the water stayed
When the 2018 floods contaminated the sources around Parumala Seminary, a large-scale unit arrived through the TATA Trust — and 200 to 300 people have drawn water from it daily ever since. Asked to keep the machine running past the emergency, Watergen said yes.
“The machine is providing uninterrupted pure drinking water to hundreds and thousands of people every day.”
La Guajira, Colombia
A school of 1,500 in the desert
In Colombia’s driest department, two GEN-M units supply the San Antonio de Aremasain boarding school with clean drinking water for 1,500 Wayuu students — installed with Watergen’s partner TX Soluciones, at an event attended by the Israeli ambassador.
“…many of which have expressed interest in acquiring GEN-M machines to help other communities that lack access to clean water.”
