Context Analysis
The Lack of Safe Drinking Waters & Farming Waters is unfortunately a very large Worldwide Problem, Affecting both the First League of Nations & Third World Countries as well. Here in Spain this last 2017 year, entire Harvests were lost due to Summer-Restrictions, same as in California, devastating Farms & Farming. The lack of Safe Waters is Affecting entire Countries & Cities, such as Cape Town & Yemen, it is largely a Contaminated resource in many parts of the World, and the Water Crisis Affects Hundreds of Millions of People Worldwide, also unfortunately Taking much Life yearly along with it.
The Atmospheric Field is readily being Commercialized as Dehumidifiers & Atmospheric Water Generators, unfortunately Proving too Expensive for real Use & Deployment. These Atmospheric Machines are Creating a Niche with their small Home-Office units, rather than Serve an International Market based on Agriculture & Developing Nations. Currently, only the Atmospheric Field is Lagging Behind.
Describe the technical solution you wanted the target audience to adopt
The Atmospheric Field has the Ample Capacities & Capabilities now with Ice, to easily Become a Top Player Worldwide Delivering Waters & Food Security. Humidity & Condensation are well Proven, Running Commercially for Decades now, and the Air does Hold Vast Amounts of Water Vapor to be Condensed as Waters. Humidity & Condensation are as Reliable as Agriculture.
Worldwide Water Wells & Aquifers Have been Supplying most of the New Waters, while the Atmospheric Field is still in its Infancy. Desalination is also by now a Top Player, but not Reaching Inland, as Atmospherically we Do, and also being Expensive.
These New Ice-Based Atmospheric Solutions Provide Entry-Level Pricing Atmospherically for the First Time, Using the most commonly-available Materials Worldwide, mainly Plastics & Glass, Using Flash-Freezing Millimetric Ice for maximum Freezer Efficiency & Best Price, and readily Making this Possible 100% Manually for the First Time now, not requiring any Training.
Type of intervention
Describe your behavioral intervention
There are many Benefits & much Relief to Atmospheric Systems versus Traditional Water Wells & Aquifers. Wells will Provide a Higher Flow of Waters, being cheaper, but also Carrying many Drawbacks, such as Depletion & Contamination. Highlighting:
• No Depletion. Depletion of Water Wells is today´s Main recurring Problem. Atmospherically there´s no Depletion, being 100% Sustainable
• No Contamination. Contamination of Aquifers is also quite a common Pain Affecting very large Areas. Atmospherically, it´s Always 100% Safe
• No Drilling. Alone a Reason to go Atmospheric. Wells are starting to Reach Down Kilometers deep. No need to Drill, Go Atmospheric
• No Sharing. Also a Reason to Go Atmospheric, Enjoying No Limits & No Restrictions & No Sharing. Atmospherically all your Waters are Yours
• No Degradation. With Water Wells they need to Keep Drilling lower & lower.
• No Upper Limit. The Sky’s the Limit Atmospherically, literally.
• 100% Fans. Atmospherically We Double the Waters Harvested using Fans.
• 100% Security. With Wells you may Drill to still Find no Waters.
• 100% Safe, Always. No Surprises & No Arsenic & No Viruses, Always.
Water Wells are not Fully Sustainable, whereas Atmospherically We are in Fact 100% Sustainable. Both Solutions are expected to co-exist, Wells will remain being a Top Player. Water Wells & the Atmospheric Elements are the only Ones Capable of Reaching Inland, versus Desalination.
As needed, please explain the type of intervention in more detail
Desalination is also a Top Player by now, with a few Generations of Improvements under its Belt in these last Decades. Energy Consumption has been greatly Improved, though they do Remain as the largest Consumer of Electricity in Cities, while Providing large Amounts of Waters in return. Desalination unfortunately does Reach Billions in Costs, requiring many Years to Build & Complete the Projects. Desalination will keep being a Top Player as well.
The Atmospheric Field is clearly the only Field lagging behind, as Desalination and Water Wells are at their Peak. The Atmospheric Field does carry many Unique Characteristics, such as Inland Coverage & Summer-Highs & 100% Sustainability, to benefit much from Worldwide.
Describe your implementation
Atmospheric Water Generators Have been Proving the Humidity & Condensation Phenomena Commercially for Decades now, Worldwide. No Need for us to Repeat that but to Leverage it to our Advantage – being thoroughly Proven at 100%. Highlighting:
• Natural & Manual Design. We are the First Ones to Offer 100% Manual Atmospheric Systems, thanks to Ice. Nature readily Grants Atmospheric Waters with Ice. Today´s Solutions are Automatic only
• Plastics & Glass & Wood. We are the First Ones to Use the most commonly available materials Atmospherically, mainly PVC Plastics & Glass & Wood. Large Price Reductions by using these everyday Materials
• Millimetric Ice. We readily Use Millimetric Ice to run the Condensation Fountains, Obtaining the most Efficient Freezers & Best possible Price
• Condenser-Only. New to Ice, the required Ice can be Sourced locally instead of Purchasing the pricey Ice-Makers. Only Buying the Condenser
• Materials Locally Available. No Need for Shipping & Transport & Foreign Pricing, everyday-safe Materials + Ice available Worldwide everywhere
• Simple & Intuitive. Nature readily Makes it Easy & Simple & Intuitive
Pricing has clearly been the Main Problem of today’s Atmospheric Solutions, and our Solutions do Deliver Tremendous Savings of up to 300% complete, Achieving much Greater Savings in Third-World Countries directly. Our Solutions, being Manually-Run & Simple, also Fit In the Context of Agriculture, as today’s Solution are more of a House Appliance. And there’s the Possibility of just Buying the Condensers alone.
Securing Agriculture at a 100%, along with 100% Food Security, does Bring Much Needed Help & Relief & Economic Improvements, Consistently & Reliably, Year after Year, successfully Improving the Conditions in the long-run as well. Agriculture keeps Standing as the Largest Employer Worldwide likewise, Securing Agriculture also Generates many steady Jobs in return, especially for Young People, Unemployed, and Women.
External connections
The Project is just Started its First Round of Applications towards Grants-Prizes-Competitions, Having currently Applied to over 30 such Opportunities. We are already Expecting News from the likes of the Creating Hope Challenge, USAID Guatemala, Feed the Future, European Social Challenges, CORREOS, Mahou San Miguel, and many other smaller Opportunities as well. More than 20 more Applications coming up in 2018, as well as many more for 2019. Amongst the Upcoming ones in 2018 are the Postcode Lottery Green Challenge, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Misk Grand Challenges, European Social Innovation, St. Andrews Environmental Prize, Chivas, and the Hello Tomorrow Awards. We are currently Hoping & Planning to Secure these most Generous Sponsors & their 100% Free Financing to Undertake the Pilots together.
The Project & Ice Discovery were also formally Validated in early 2016 by the Leading Consultant of Atmospheric Water Generators, the Canadian Roland Wahlgren, see https://www.atmoswater.com/ . Roland and I Have been Working on this Project since, forming the Core of the Team. Roland Produced an Initial Technical & Scientific Report for the Ice Fountains, Phase I, providing in 29 pages relevant & useful Information about the Industry, the Market, Performing SWOT Analysis, Performing his own Successful Tests, and Providing Technical Data & Pricing Matrix. His continued Contributions to the Project & Pilots will remain much Needed & Helpful as well.
Who adopted the desired behaviors and to what degree?
We will be the First Ones to Reach Agriculture & Developing Nations altogether, Internationally representing 80% of the Waters. The other 20% of the Waters, represented by Cities & Human Consumption, is also a Main Market for Us as well. Agriculture & Developing Nations are not Expected to be Serviced by today´s Atmospheric Solutions either.
Carrying Waters & Food Security also Takes us directly into many Crises Worldwide, as mentioned. From Spain & California, to Yemen and Cape Town, to the Global Water Crisis, Affecting Hundreds of Millions of People, and also being a Leading Cause of Death Worldwide - our Atmospheric Solutions can Deliver Waters & Food Security, Helping Fight it at the Root, in an Abundance of Waters, and Leading to Much Economic Prosperity instead.
Today there are about 90 Manufacturers of Atmospheric Water Generators Worldwide, with just 3 in Spain. The original Design, cooling-type, Remains as the clear Leader with about 95% Market Share.
How did you impact natural resource use and greenhouse gas emissions?
As our Atmospheric Solutions Contribute directly to an Abundance of Waters & Food Security Worldwide, We directly Contribute to long-term Prosperity & Sustainability, Making Waters readily Available where presently at Risk. 100% Water Security & 100% Food Security, for Life.
We also Fight Greenhouse Gas Emissions directly by being Atmospheric, being able to Source the Waters where Needed, at the Point of Use, rather than Trucking it & Transporting it. Internationally, Trucking Waters is at Peak Level and expected to remain so, also as the Needy Population Resides Rurally, where once again Atmospherically we can Reach Everywhere.
These are the 2 Main Ways in which these Atmospheric Solutions can Directly & Beneficially Impact our Natural Resources & Greenhouse Gas Emissions – Providing Full Food Security likewise. While it is not a 100% Solution with magic properties, it may still be the best general & overall Solution, easily Covering more than 80% of the Needs.
What were some of the resulting co-benefits?
In our Specific Case, Achieving True Water Security First & Foremost its quite the Prize already – but in Fact Thanks to Reaching Full Water Security, we also Reach 100% Food Security, this also Leading to Economic Prosperity & Sustainability in return. In Fact, Watering Livestock & Cattle also becomes a problem in Developing Nations especially over Summers.
Clearly Achieving 100% Food Security is quite the Gift Internationally. Malnutrition & Hunger do remain as major Impediments Internationally, in turn diminishing Economic Prosperity and long term Economical Improvements & Benefits.
All Coupled together, being able to harvest Successfully Season after Season, Year after Year, does lead to much Economic Improvement, both in the short-term and in the long-term. Agriculture also keeps Standing as the largest Employer Worldwide, and Sustaining Agriculture will also lead to Maintaining & Creating many new Jobs in return, especially for Young People, Unemployed, and Women.
Sustainability
For the most Part and on the Long Run, these Atmospheric Solutions will rely upon Market-Based Revenue for its Sustainability & Prosperity. We are the very First Ones to Make the Atmospheric Field Economical for the First Time, and these Solutions can Achieve Truly low & cheap Pricing in Third-World Countries directly, Sourcing the Materials locally, and Pricing & Servicing the Atmospheric Solutions in local Currency.
For Starters though, the Project is just Completing its First Round of Application for Grants-Prizes-Competitions, having by now already Applied to 30 such Opportunities – as such we do Expect to Start the Project with 100% Free Financing, Carrying us for the First 2 Years. More than 20 more Application still in 2018.
Return on investment
Having ready Access to Waters is relatively priceless, as both the First League of Nations & Developing Nations are constantly Suffering & Losing from not Having enough Waters. Just this 2017 Summer here in Spain, entire Harvests were lost due to Summer-Restrictions, likewise in California, Having lost entire Harvests & Farms due to Aquifer´s Restrictions. And unfortunately, the Situation only Gets Worse Internationally, Adding much Life Lost as well due to Drought & Contamination.
In all the Cases of Restrictions & Contamination & Life Lost, ROI does not really Compute against the Benefits Gained & the Life Achieved. We are First at Providing Entry-Level Pricing Atmospherically, and we Expect Amazing ROI just Based on Harvests alone.
How could we successfully replicate this solution elsewhere?
The Atmospheric Field Truly Grace us with their True Worldwide Reach, Reaching & Covering the whole World, Inland as well, finally also Covering Africa & Asia as well as the Rest of the World. These Atmospheric Systems will Work in Every Farm & Field, in every Town & City, and in every Country & Continent without Exception, True Worldwide Reach, see attached Map for Productivity.
Atmospheric Water Generators & Dehumidifiers Have been Running Successfully Commercially for many Decades by now. Unfortunately, their very High Prices alone Have critically Affected Sales & Market Entry. Today´s Atmospheric Water Generators are not Reaching Agriculture, neither Locally & Internationally, or Developing Nations altogether. These Solutions are Becoming more of a Household Appliance than an Agricultural & City Solution. As our Ice-Based Solutions are Manually-Run by default, Using Plastics & Wood on the smaller sizes, We are alternatively Best Suited for Agriculture & Developing Nations.
