AQUA PEARLS

Sustain­able Water Systems

With any dona­tion you can make a differ­ence.

 

Support b.water­MIS­SION, a project of AQUA PEARLS For You and Planet Blue Foun­da­tion. With this project, we have set ourselves the goal of building wells in mainly rural areas of Africa, thereby ensuring the access to clean drinking water. With b.water­MIS­SION, the basis for the sustain­able and reli­able imple­men­ta­tion is already set. Now it is our (joint) task to build as many taps as possible.

Our targets for the building of taps:

Creating aware­ness, that water – the elixir of life – is of VALUE.

Ensuring sustain­able oper­a­tion via online moni­toring and on-​site main­te­nance:

  • Construc­tion of several thou­sand taps in the next few years
  • Access to safe and clean drinking water
  • Ensuring, that nobody has to walk further than 150 m to the next tapping point

“Before the tap was only open at 9am to 12pm and in the evening also 5-6pm. It was so diffi­cult for us, honestly. It’s so perfect now, because anytime you need water you can get it, even at midnight.”
Asanatou Mballow, Female Villager, Jarreng

How it works

The b.water­MIS­SION tap is an intel­li­gent water dispenser which ensures, that the oper­a­tion is tech­ni­cally moni­tored. All income can be tracked, controlled, and used trans­par­ently by private orga­ni­za­tions or author­i­ties to be able to pay for the ongoing main­te­nance of the systems.

Payment via mobile phone and NFC tech­nology

The villagers can use their mobile phone to purchase a b.water­MIS­SION credit, which is saved on the b.water­MIS­SION tag. With remote prepay­ment, trace­able water credits can be sent to the taps by author­i­ties, the local villagers, but also by donors all around the world.

The b.water­MIS­SION tech­nology even works in rural areas with poor data connec­tions, as low-​bandwidth mobile connec­tion is used. In remote areas, the NFC tech­nology enables the consumers to load the credit directly on the tag and there­with source water from the tap.

Bene­fits of clean water:

  • Improve­ment of the general health of the popu­la­tion, espe­cially in rural areas
  • Chil­dren can go to school instead of carrying water over long distances

Bene­fits of a sustain­able water system:

  • Less waste of water and access to the taps 24/7
  • Short distance to the taps

BWT Distance Award

Meter by meter - drop by drop - let's change the world together!

As part of the BWT Distance Award, every meter jumped in all indi­vidual compe­ti­tions in the current season counts. One tap is built every 18,000 meters.
