Seychelles and Indonesia unite on Clean Water for Remote Island Inhabitants

Seychelles Consul General to Indonesia on December 04, 2012 donated to The Indonesian Air Force a renewable technology water machine, an alternative technology to produce drinkable water from the moisture, the air we breathe. This is follow up to the `environmental defence for global friendship` which is launched on October 2009 by the Indonesian National Defence Forces together Seychelles Consulate General in Jakarta attended by 27 ambassadors from foreign mission at Indonesia.
Like Seychelles, Indonesia is an archipelago of 17,000 islands. Clean and healthy water is a basic need for the people especially those in the remote islands, who has no access to water resource. The new water technology is the solution. The simple installation of the machine can harvest about 1000 litres of drinkable water from the air to answer the desperate need of water for a small island with 200 inhabitants.
During the official hand over of the machine at the Head Quarter of The National Air Force of Indonesia, the Chief of Staff of Indonesian Air Force reaffirmed that such assistance is taken into highest consideration and that Air Force can also utilize the machine during recuperation of disasters and the air force personnel station in the remote islands or radar centre throughout Indonesia.
Mr.Barito, Seychelles Consul General to Indonesia presents the compliments from the government and people of Seychelles and the assurance to strengthen the existing good cooperation between Seychelles and Indonesian National Defence Forces, especially in sharing the best practice at times of peace, where the good discipline and leadership of the military can set an example of environmental resilience for the community, something so vitally important for our collective future.

The handover of the water machine is made possible by the patronage of EG Water (Essential Green Water) and Seychelles Consulate in Jakarta as part of the social care program to provide clean and healthy water for the people living in urban slum of Indonesia and for the isolated communities.
EG Water is a niche technology improvised by mother- nature on moisture process.  The technology is withdrawing air and through a process of ultrafiltration. The Water is further purified by series of filters to ensure proper and optimum performance. The water result is ready to drink and has been approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) standard. Further, EG Water Technology is designed to be energy efficient and is equipped with micro computer and electronic controls to ensure proper and optimum performance. The result is high quality good tasting water.
Earlier this year, a Seychelles University SYLP students has undertaken internship at EG Water Singapore, and acknowledged that healthy water by eco-friendly technology is important to make a better future for living.
