According to the latest 2022 WHO report, at least 2 billion people globally use a contaminated drinking water source contributing to over 485,000 diarrheal deaths every year. And while discussions about water scarcity and water stress around the world are at an all-time high, very little is being done on a global scale to affect change. Among the places hardest hit is India, which ranks 120 out of 122 countries in water quality index & 133 out of 180 nations for its water availability.
Enter Plasma Waters. Plasma Waters’ patented technology uses its unique low energy cold plasma in a continuous flow system that eliminates harmful bacteria and viruses from water and serves as a fast-acting solution for monitoring water quality in real time. It is able to produce safe drinking water from any source for communities. Plasma Water Solutions LLC announced the launch of its wholly owned Indian Subsidiary which was set up in Sep. 2022, with a mission to provide safe drinking water & chemical free agri solutions in India.
Using this technology, the company can generate Plasma Activated Water (PAW) in a continuous flow as a solution for agriculture. Usage of PAW has the potential to bring in disruptive results from better seed germination, to disease management, faster growth, better & higher yields and also a higher shelf life of harvest thereby providing higher income to farmers while keeping the environment non-contaminated. The agricultural run-off does not contaminate either the surface water or the underground, leaving the planet safer for future generations. The roots’ growth & higher roots biomass would help in reducing the carbon footprint too in a big way.
According to a 2019 Weforum.org report, 70% of the surface water in India is unfit for consumption while 40 million liters of wastewater enter rivers & other water bodies with a miniscule fraction adequately treated.
Plasma Waters’ technology solution portfolio is providing a substantial contribution to address the safe water shortage and to boost sustainable, high yield agriculture in India, NOW.
