Slide 2.mp3. The Problem. Less than 50 per cent of the population in India has access to safely managed drinking water. Chemical contamination of water, mainly through fluoride and arsenic, is present in 1.96 million dwellings. It is estimated that waterborne diseases have an economic burden of approximately USD 600 million a year in India. This is especially true for drought- and flood-prone areas, which affected a third of the nation in the past couple of years. Excess fluoride in India may be affecting tens of millions of people across 19 states, while equally worryingly, excess arsenic may affect up to 15 million people in West Bengal, according to the World Health Organization. Moreover, two-thirds of India’s 718 districts are affected by extreme water depletion, and the current lack of planning for water safety and security is a major concern..

Slide 3.mp3. PROJECT OVERVIEW. The Project aims to provide clean drinking water to underprivileged communities which are plagued by the lack of accessibility or affordability for potable drinking water. We provide water at Rs. 4 - Rs. 6 for 20 litres by setting up community water filtration plants in urban slums and rural households. Water is dispensed through water ATM structures with the help of rechargeable digitised Asbah cards. Each plant also generates livelihood opportunities for 2 women e n t r ep r eneurs f r om members of t he community who act as the operators of the plant. Asbah has now been able to set up 21 pla n ts which impact 5 7 , 7 50+ people every single day..

Slide 11.mp3. Z e r o W a s t e M odel Asbah’s RO plants generate waste water in a 1:1 ratio. We are moving towards a environmentally sustainable ZERO waste model, where we either: use technologies such as coagulation and flocculation, biosorption and nanofiltration which limit waste water generation, or retulize the wastewater by routing to a nearby toilet complex or a large storage tank in the slum which residents can use for other non-drinking purposes We set up India’s first community nano-filtration plant in Wazirpur, Delhi Sola r - P o w e r ed M odel Our community water filtration plants are moving towards solar-power operated models, ensuring optimal utilisation of existing natural resources..

Slide 13.mp3. W e have a unique deli very mechanism which can be put in place to ensure that clean water reaches the maximum number of beneficiaries. A delivery person is appointed by the team or the local NGO , who pu r chases water f r om t he plant at Rs. 4 and further deliver it to houses at Rs. 10 , thus, earning a commission of Rs. 6 per bottle delivered. Alternatively, instead of the commission per bottle, he may be paid a fixed amount of salary per month. This is flexible and varies from place to place depending upon various factors..
