ASB Georgia successfully tested the SkyHydrant water filtration system at the Kura River near Borjomi and the Tbilisi Sea. This innovative solution is essential for providing clean drinking water during emergencies, when access is limited.
“The SkyHydrant system can produce up to 500 liters of safe drinking water per hour, making it an ideal solution during emergencies,” says Clemens Von Heimendahl, the Country Director of ASB Georgia and Armenia. “With the dimensions of your water storage, you can easily calculate the total capacity and ensure that each household has access to clean water as needed. This system’s ability to transform contaminated sources into drinkable water is vital for supporting communities during natural disasters and humanitarian crises.”
The SkyHydrant system was procured under the project ‘Stronger Together – Cooperative Action to Respond to Cross-border Emergencies between Georgia and Armenia,’ funded by the Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO). The project aims to enhance disaster risk management systems, with a special focus on health emergencies in Armenia and Georgia, through capacity building and establishing cross-border cooperation mechanisms.
ASB Georgia is committed to making a significant and lasting impact in vulnerable communities, ensuring they are better equipped to face emergencies and safeguard their health and well-being. Through the implementation of the SkyHydrant system and other innovative solutions, ASB Georgia continues to lead efforts in improving disaster resilience and access to essential resources in the region.
