Mayim Water Project -
creating sustainable water solutions for Central Africa
March 11, 2016- Vancouver BC, Point Roberts WA-
Investorideas.com, a digital global news source covering leading sectors
including renewable energy and water, reports on the Mayim Water Project,
creating sustainable water solutions for Central Africa – Sub region, as World
Water Day approaches.
This year’s theme for World Water Day #Worldwaterday, being held March 22,
2016 is Better water, better jobs.
The Mayim water project represents a business and
investment opportunity, while ensuring better water quality to a large
population currently spending too much for water. The 2014 World Bank data
estimates a total population in the DRC of 74.87 million and 12 million living
in Kinshasa, the capital city. With the
average family spending between: $45 to $70 a month for drinking water, Mayim
is planning on offering a better and more affordable solution.
Mayim water distribution system was established in
2014 as Esobecorp water management program. Founder, Mr Jeremie Katunda, tells us that ,” Unlike most of
Southern African countries facing water crisis, scarcity and drought due to
climate change, the Central Africa sub region enjoying plenty of freshwater with
constant rains, but water crisis in this area is mainly the consequence of lack
of adequate water infrastructure and maintenance policy.”
He points out that “The major challenge facing the
sub region in relation to water management is the lack of a leading model and
coordination among authorities, stemming from an unclear definition of roles
and responsibilities.”
Mayim’s primary products include 750 ml still water
bottles and 1 000 litres still water in intermediate bulk containers (IBC).The
IBC can be attached to supply a household piping system or just a kitchen
faucet. Esobecorp’s services also include
water resource management and project management.
Jeremie has big ambitions for market penetration in
cities like Kinshasa for Mayim and also notes, “ Sub-saharan Africa water
demand is projected to rise by at least 3 per cent annually until the year
2020, a rate about equal to the region's population growth rate. “
World Water Day is an international observance and
an opportunity to learn more about water related issues, be inspired to tell
others and take action to make a difference. World Water Day dates back to the
1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development where an
international observance for water was recommended. The United Nations General
Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day.
It has been held annually since then. Each year, UN-Water — the entity that
coordinates the UN’s work on water and sanitation — sets a theme for World
Water Day corresponding to a current or future challenge. The engagement
campaign is coordinated by one or several of the UN-Water Members with a
related mandate.

Video Release: Globe2016 in Vancouver Session; Water
Integrity - Infrastructure & Innovation
“Canada is sleepwalking into
an uncertain future” - Howard Wheater, Director of the Global Institute for
Water Security at the University of Saskatchewan
March 8, 2016 - Vancouver BC, Point Roberts WA -
Investorideas.com, a digital global news source covering leading sectors
including renewable energy and water, reports on the recently held GLOBE 2016
Conference & Innovation Expo (#Globe2016), held in Vancouver last week.
Leaders from around the world gathered to discuss
key topics in sustainability, including water. In this panel session, “Water
Integrity: Infrastructure & Innovation”, water scarcity and water security were
discussed.
Climate change, pollution, the way land is managed
and drinking water problems all demonstrate a host of issues here in water-rich
Canada.
Howard Wheater, Director of the Global Institute
for Water Security at the University of Saskatchewan, told the audience that “the
Canadian Government recently reported it will be spending $1 billion a year on
floods and droughts. Globally, we may have 6 billion people in water scarce
areas in just a few decades time. Most Canadians think that applies to rest of
the world but is not an issue here because we have lots of water.”
He also points out the degradation of water quality
across Canada. With all the challenges, he also pointed out that smarter
technologies for land and water management could provide solutions.
“When it comes to assuming responsibility,” he says
“the Federal Government does not take strong responsibility for managing the
water; it lies with provinces and they have mixed levels of capability.”
He also went on to say “Canada is the canary in the coal mine for global
warming. We are seeing some of the world’s most rapid rates of warming.”
Karen Bakker, a Professor and Canada Research Chair
at the University of British Columbia said, “One of the truths about water
issues is that they are global in scale but they are locally expressed.”
She narrows in on one region as an example; the
Peace-Athabasca Delta. The Peace-Athabasca Delta, located in northeast Alberta,
is the largest freshwater inland river delta in North America. “Not far from
there is major hydraulic fracturing activity and not far from that, one of BC’s
largest wind farm projects and also in this area, one of the sources of major-proposed
LNG pipelines. When you look at this, you get a sense of the water nexus. In
one of Northern Canada’s most important food producing regions, you have
intense competition for water; water for energy, food, drinking - and water for
nature.”
Water
Integrity: Infrastructure & Innovation Panel Session
This session brings a solutions-oriented outlook on
water security trends to ensure access to water and catalyze economic growth.
Join leading experts to learn how investment, emerging models of delegated
water governance, innovation and technology deployment are scaling solutions
and addressing water scarcity. Take away
key insights on how cross-sector partnerships create opportunities for
sustainable business and effectively conserve, manage and distribute this vital
resource.

Water crisis creates new marketplace as watercluster.com

SANTA MONICA,
California, June 19, 2015 —Finding the world’s most innovative
water solutions just became easier with watercluster.com, an on-line deal platform to connect

compounded by record drought on the West Coast.
“Southern
California is a key, dynamic market for innovation and the perfect place to
introduce a new paradigm for matching new water technology, talent and services
from around the world,”says
founder Thomas Schumann, who was inspired
to launch the on-line venture by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Water
Technology Innovation Cluster Program.
Schumann seeks “disruptive
collaboration”through the on-line
site, which allows members to work together and match needs with solutions in a
real-time environment. The watercluster.com

“This industry needs
a dynamic marketplace where resources can quickly be matched and deployed to
address the growing need for new water solutions,”says Erik Hromadka,
CEO of Global Water Technologies. “We look forward to
being part of this exciting new venture.”
Schumann’s
decision to launch watercluster.com in
the Los Angeles market allows
him to leverage the nation’s largest Metropolitan

America’s water challenges.
Focusing
on creating social good and financial value watercluster.com promotes
