What specific problem are you solving?
Climate change is wreaking havoc, and one of its most immediate threats is water scarcity. The situation is dire. According to UNICEF and WHO:
2.2 billion people globally lack access to safely managed drinking water.
Every year, an estimated 297,000 children under five die from diarrhea caused by unsafe water and sanitation.
By 2040, it's estimated that nearly one in four children will live in areas experiencing extremely high water stress.
Global AI operations could require 4.2 – 6.6 billion cubic meters of water withdrawal. This is significant, potentially exceeding the total annual water withdrawal of several countries
Today, less than 0.5% of water is available fresh water on earth. Climate change acts as a major catalyst, exacerbating existing water scarcity issue. This can lead to social unrest and conflict as competition for this vital resource intensifies between communities, industries, and agriculture. Contaminated water due to changes in precipitation patterns and saltwater intrusion can increase the spread of waterborne diseases.
What is your solution?
Here’s a revised version under 200 words, keeping it clear, compelling, and to the point:
---
ExaWater generates clean drinking water from air—at scale. Our patented technology captures moisture from the atmosphere and purifies it without using any absorbents, desiccants, refrigerants, or harmful chemicals. Unlike traditional systems, we rely on a sustainable process that doesn’t extract from ground or surface water sources.
It’s a common myth that air-to-water units dry out the air. In reality, atmospheric moisture replenishes quickly, and the process gently cools the surrounding area, offering a net environmental benefit.
Our modular systems produce 2,000–20,000 liters of water per day, and can scale to millions of gallons to meet commercial, municipal, or industrial demand.
We are:
- Sustainable: No depletion of existing water sources—our solution is water-positive.
- Efficient: No large infrastructure or pipelines required.
- Scalable: Flexible enough for communities, yet powerful enough for cities.
ExaWater is not just an innovation—it’s a shift in how we think about water access. We provide a new source of clean water while protecting existing ecosystems. Designed to integrate with renewables, our solution offers a green, resilient path toward global water security.
Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
ExaWater is on a mission to solve global water challenges by generating clean water directly from air—no ground source needed. Our technology provides a reliable, scalable, and sustainable solution to communities and corporations alike.
We help people in water-scarce regions—from Coachella Valley to remote villages in southern India—access a new source of drinking water, independent of infrastructure or natural water bodies. Our modular systems can also support refugee camps and indigenous communities, delivering clean water where traditional methods fall short.
In drought-stricken areas, ExaWater offers water security without drawing from depleted or polluted sources. And for corporations aiming to be water-positive, our solution helps offset usage, enhance sustainability, and strengthen local impact.
ExaWater is designed for underserved populations facing limited infrastructure, rising water costs, and climate-driven resource decline. Our units are mobile, flexible, and built for even the hardest-to-reach places.
By unlocking a new, renewable source of water, we enable:
Better health and hygiene
Local food production
Economic resilience
