water ATMs

Gurugram-based Vibha Tripathi and Advait Kumar co-founded a water-tech startup called Boon to ensure clean and safe drinking water is accessible to everyone.

Technology growth won't stop anytime soon, and this can only be attributed to the people of India and their innovativeness.

Even as the IT-hub is a highly developed urban city, thousands of its residents still do not get pipeline access to drinking water and are heavily dependent on bubble tops.

The initiative taken up by both the North and East Delhi Municipal Corporations is currently under the process of identifying sites where the ATMs can be installed.

Roads will have 50 smart card-enabled public bicycle sharing points, 30 e-rickshaw stands, 35 e-toilets, water ATMs, 420 sensor-based smart dustbins and 50 designated vending kiosks.

Slum-dwellers in Bhubaneswar will now have access to clean drinking water with the help of water ATMs in the city. The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation is planning to distribute smart cards that will enable users to get water from these ATMs.

Pi-lo water vending machines are making pure drinking water accessible and affordable to all. They are also attacking the plastic menace created by bottled water.

Deeya Shroff, a student of Class 11 at Dhirubhai Ambani International School in Mumbai has started an initiative to set up water ATMs in rural areas across the country to provide clean drinking water to people.
