Watergen provides water from air to an orphanage in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, May 2019

31 August 2022

Uzbekistan is a country in desperate need of a secure water supply as it is “double landlocked,” and Bukhara in particular has recently been experiencing serious water shortage.

Kyrgyzstan and Tajikstanhave, in recent years, insisted on making hydro–power dams at the headwaters for the two main rivers bringing freshwater supply into Uzbekistan, Amu Darya and SyrDarya. The dams undermined Uzbekistan‘s ability to use both rivers as sources for freshwater.

Watergen provides clean fresh drinking water created from the GEN–M AWG to hundreds of children and staff living in an orphanage in Uzbekistan’s city of Bukhara.
