The Project involves testing the viability of the Bangladesh market for community water systems (“CWS”) based on Ultra Violet (“UV”) and Reverse Osmosis (“RO”) water purification technologies. Initially up to 50 units will be set up and operated as a pilot (the “Pilot” or the “Project”). Successful functioning of the Pilot will lead to scaling up of the business model to several hundred units over the next 4-5 years. The business concept involves setting up modular CWS across different clusters of villages in Bangladesh. The modular CWSs will tap raw water from nearby river, ponds or underground resources. Purified water will be sold at the CWS directly to rural consumers. The water purification equipment for the Pilot phase will be procured from WaterHealth International India.
