Dutch Rainmaker provides THE most sustainable products for water production or water purification. Our systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly stand-alone wind turbines that produce fresh water from air or fresh water from salt or brakish water, whereby no energy is consumed and no chemicals are used. Especially in locations where a good infrastructure and electricity is lacking, our simple and reliable systems are needed for water production.
Our challenge
One of the goals of the United Nations Millennium Development Program is to achieve a 50% reduction in the number of people who do not have access to safe drinking water by 2015 (WHO/UNICEF, 2000). Especially in locations where there is no or limited infrastructure and the available surface water (if there is any) is polluted or brakish, practical solutions for safe water supply and desalination are needed.
Some facts:
- Less than 1% of the total water resource in the world is potable water.
- The use of potable water has increased in the last fifty years by more than 500% mostly because of agriculture.
- Half the population of developing countries live in water poverty.
- Over two billion people do not have access to sufficient drinking and sanitation water.
- Every hour, 240 children die, by lack of good sanitation and good quality of water.
Especially in locations where a good infrastructure and electricity is lacking, simple and reliable syst ems are needed for water production. With the Dutch rainmaker concept we provide this solution.
