About this project

eWATERservices (hereafter referred to as “eWATER”) is a private water operator providing 24/7 access to clean water in Kenya. Using smart technology and local operational excellence, eWATER installs and maintains water systems serving drinking water to rural communities sustainably. Many rural communities throughout Kenya have no access to a reliable source of clean water. Instead, they collect water manually from unsafe sources such as hand-dug wells, rivers, canals, lakes and rainwater. The collected water is subsequently treated/boiled by using fuels such as charcoal and firewood, a practice that contributes to the generation of GHG emissions. The purpose of the project is to reduce the GHG emissions from boiling water through the installation and operation of eWATER Smart Taps™ and Smart Water Systems. The taps are connected to piped water systems. In Kenya, all the organizations and systems have a solar energy-powered Internet of Things (IoT) technology that delivers water. The water is previously treated by eWATER’s Smart Chlorination System which automatically doses the correct amount of chlorine into the water system. Through this technology, using fossil fuel-based practices to treat the collected water would not be required, as it complies with national standard guidelines and the WHO International Requirements for drinking water The project equipment is anticipated to be a new installation or substitute broken water systems that are not sustainable, not sufficient and/or have become inoperative due to the lack of adequate maintenance. The project is seeking voluntary emission reductions (VER)
