amanw

Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Amanow contributes directly to several of the seventeen goals adopted by the United Nations. We list only those our activity actually touches, and we say how.

Contribution

Seven goals our activity touches

Claiming alignment with all seventeen goals says nothing. These seven are the ones where a deployed Amanow installation produces a measurable effect.

Water where the network does not reach

Drinking water produced on sites with no network connection, and sanitary use covered alongside it.

Solar, and no batteries

Solar operation with water storage rather than battery storage, removing fuel logistics entirely.

Infrastructure where none is planned

Resilient infrastructure deployed where conventional networks are not economically reachable.

Communities equipped without waiting

Enclaved communities equipped without waiting for a network extension decision.

A direct substitute for bottled water

On sites that currently depend on it, litre for litre, with the plastic avoided counted in the monthly report.

No draw on stressed resources

Water supply that does not draw on aquifers or surface resources already under stress.

Carried with institutions, not alone

Deployment carried with public institutions, local teams and financing partners.

Footprint

What we do not claim

Producing water from air consumes energy, considerably more per cubic metre than pumping from a network. That is the honest trade-off of the technology, and it decides which comparison is fair.

✕What Amanow is not

A low-impact alternative to a functioning network
A reason to postpone a planned connection
A solution for irrigation or industrial process water

✓What Amanow is

The alternative to trucking water over long distances
The alternative to bottled water, litre for litre
The alternative to having no reliable supply at all

Where a connection exists or is planned, it wins, and we say so. On the sites we equip, none of the three alternatives above is low-impact either: that is the comparison that applies.

Measurement

What we will publish, and when

Contribution claims are worth what the measurements behind them are worth. The proof of concept measures four indicators. Each will be published with its method, its date and its source.

Goal 6 Water produced on site m³ per year measured from the proof of concept

Goal 12 Bottled water displaced litres per year measured against the previous supply

Goal 13 Water trucking avoided deliveries per year measured against the previous supply

Goal 17 Local operators trained people per site recorded at handover

None of these figures is published yet. The proof of concept under way at a public university in Morocco is what will produce the first set.

Impact is what an installation produces, not what it claims.

The proof-of-concept results will be published with their sources.
