Moses West Foundation: A Potential Solution to Jamaica’s Water Shortage
The Moses West Foundation, a non-profit organization, has implemented an innovative water technologies to address water issues affecting disenfranchised communities. One such technology is their atmospheric water generators (AWGs), which harness the humidity in the air to produce clean, drinkable water. These AWGs have already made a significant impact, providing much-needed water to local communities in Puerto Rico and the military.
Given the significant water scarcity issues experienced in Jamaica, the Moses West Foundation could offer a viable solution.
Currently, civil engineer, Dick Hooijschuur, has proposed two potential solutions for the water scarcity in Negril, Jamaica – reuse of wastewater and desalination. Wastewater, also known as sewage, is polluted water that comes from human activities and rainwater runoff. It can include substances like: human waste, food scraps, oils, soaps, and chemicals. Desalination involves removing salt from seawater to make it potable. He is also recommending the Norman Manley Beach Park as the site for constructing a desalination plant. Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett said the park is slated to be transformed into a Harmony Park-like public access facility that will provide a much-needed green space for recreational activities.
Dick Hooijschuur acknowledges that his wastewater technology is a subject of considerable sensitivity. In certain U.S. communities, the approach is colloquially referred to as ‘from toilet to tap’. Alternatively, atmospheric water generation technology could represent a safer choice, preserving the Norman Manley Beach Park. Maintaining such green spaces and recreational facilities is crucial for enhancing quality of life.
Jamaica is an Island with lots of natural green spaces and a landscape of mountains, rivers and waterfalls. The climate is described as Tropical, Humid, Rainy, which is the perfect environment to capture water from the atmosphere. This water could be used to alleviate shortages on the Island, and the reduction in transport emissions aligns with the mission for a greener planet.
The introduction of the AWGs in Jamaica would not only improved the living conditions of many residents but has also sparked interest in other countries experiencing similar water scarcity issues.
The Moses West Foundation is a non-profit organization targeting the global water crisis. The foundation aims to bring clean water access and water-health and hygiene education programs to impoverished communities worldwide. Their goal is to combat global water poverty, one community at a time.
He wrote on this Instagram pages, over the past few months our foundation has gained a significant amount of new followers which tells me that you all are ready to learn more about AWG Technology and what it can do for your communities! I am excited to continue to share about this incredible technology. Our mission is lofty but we know with your support we have the power to keep water free – to keep clean water a human right that everyone has access to. I am so close to finishing up rehabbing one of our large machines but the funds to finish the process are running low. I am reaching out to ask for your continued support to help get this machine completed and sent out where it will be needed most. If you are able please consider making a donation to the Moses West Foundation today by visiting the link in our bio. With your help we can continue to provide clean drinking water to those who need it most.
“You can tailor the water however you would like to have it.” Our machines produce the highest quality of water on the market. You don’t have to worry about what you are drinking when you receive water from this technology.
