Buy Water At ATMs Now!  

Hyderabad: To quench the parched throats of people in the state, a non-profit organisation has launched a 'Water ATM' in Telangana. Safe Water Network India (SWN) has set up more than 150 safe water stations across Telangana.

People can purchase 20 liters of drinking water at any time of the day by swiping their smart cards against the Water ATM in an SWN-facilitated iJal water station.

"The stations are connected via cloud-based technology, enabling online analysis of operational parameters and volumes. Further, many of these water stations run on solar energy and electricity, thereby reducing operating costs," SWN official said.

SWN country Director Ravi Sewak said that they have collaborated with Medak district to conduct awareness workshops on the Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM) mobile app. The drive was supported by SWN and volunteers from Honeywell India, which funds these safe water stations under its corporate social responsibility program.

SWN has established more than 170 iJal safe water stations in Maharashtra, Telangana and Uttar Pradesh providing access of safe water to over 600,000 beneficiaries.
