Public Funding for Dryden Aqua LTD.

Water treatment issue in Brazil is a multifaceted problem, however high operational costs, poor sensing & filtration technology alongside excessive water losses exacerbate the current situation and limit resources spent on other value adding projects. Aquárius Solar aims to integrate latest technological innovations with an Internet of Things (IOT) solution and solar technology to deliver clean, affordable and high quality water services to the urban population in Brazil. Integrating a smart system for sensing technology & filtration systems offers unprecedented real-time oversight on the quality of water and the technologies proposed drastically reduce cost for the water utilities providers. As part of connecting context-specific sensing technology to an IoT and ICT backend, our consortium will build a state-of-the-art real-time bio-sensor that does not exist in the market and is an output of our project. Furthermore, distributed power systems allows proliferation to areas with unreliable grid connectivity. Aquárius Solar has the potential to be a holistic, disruptive, modular tehcnology, increasing efficiency and reducing costs whilst providing many social benefits.
