Water for everyone: Solutions for everyone.
Water shortage is a worldwide problem that is growing worse. World population is growing and with it the need for water. By the year 2025, two-thirds of the world population will inhabit countries and regions where not enough water is available for everyday living.
Although two thirds of the Earth's surface is covered by water, only 2.5 percent of the Earth's total supply of water is fresh and suitable for drinking. The remaining 97.5 percent of the water on Earth consists of saltwater.
Worldwide there are currently approx. 10,000 to 15,000 large desalination plants, located only where the required infrastructure and enormous investment funds are available: in the big cities and densely-populated regions of the world.
Millions of people, mostly living outside and away from the big cities and not fulfilling these technical and financial requirements, will continue to suffer from water shortage.
HelioAquaTech offers optimal solutions of drinking water supply for these people: by desalinating seawater or groundwater from wells, springs and coastal waters. Independent of any infrastructure, independent of conventional energy, but exclusively with solar energy.
Many people can ensure their own water supply with HelioAquaTech Solar Desalination Systems. Independent of municipal or private water suppliers with their high prices.
The WHO says: "Water is a human right, everyone must have access to it."
HelioAquaTech is contributing to the cause.
.
Water is becoming scarcer worldwide.
3.3 million people die every year by drinking contaminated water.
5,000 children die every year from diseases caused by polluted water.
In regions where water is in short supply, women have to walk up to 5 hours daily to fetch water miles away.

The green way to drinking water
The HelioAquaTech Solar Desalination System is the environmentally friendliest technology for the production of drinking water from saltwater. It requires neither electricity nor gas, only solar energy. It protects flora and fauna, since filtered-out salt is reclaimed and not returned to the sea.
Right to water is a human right
The World Health Organization (WHO) supports and initiates many projects to provide billions of people in the poorest countries of the world access to clean water. Read more about those projects at the official website of the WHO.

Winner of the Global Energy Award
One of the most important awards concerning environment and ecology, was presented to the Solar Desalination System in 2009. The system was nominated again for the award in 2010.
