eWATERservices is a private water operator providing 24/7 access to clean water in Sub-Saharan Africa. Using smart technology and local operational excellence, we install and maintain water systems serving the poorest communities sustainably. To date, we have provided 699,000,000 litres of safe drinking water to 265,000 people in The Gambia, Ghana and Tanzania via our pre-paid communal water taps.Project "HHM" will create, test and manufacture a net zero carbon pre-paid NFC and mobile operated household water meter for rural and peri-urban areas in developing countries. We will complete the design, development and production of the prototype eWATER pre-paid household water meter for export and expansion into developing countries.The project will aim to reduce the carbon footprint of the product by centralising the production of the meter in the UK using the-MTC as net zero consultants to drive the manufacturing process to net zero. Our vision is to support the global market for pre-paid meters, especially to those underserved in rural areas in developing countries. Our objective is to move our innovation from prototype to field trials, while creating a net zero manufacturing process that will support growth towards exporting millions of meters. We will focus on ensuring the design and the component selection is robust for the harshness of Africa and the manufacturing process will be net zero and serve the UK economy.Our unique innovation combining pre-payment using NFC payment devices and mobile comms through bluetooth ensures that water systems in developing countries are sustainable; enabling a massive reduction in wasted water resources. This ensures the environment is protected and the valuable water resource is conserved. Ultimately our service has alresady been shown to reduce global Carbon emmisions.

eWATERservices是一家私营水务运营商，在撒哈拉以南非洲地区提供全天候清洁用水。利用智能技术和卓越的本地运营，我们安装和维护供水系统，为最贫困的社区提供可持续的服务。迄今为止，我们已经通过预付公共水龙头向冈比亚、加纳和坦桑尼亚的26.5万人提供了6.99亿升安全饮用水。“HHM”项目将为发展中国家的农村和城郊地区创建、测试和制造净零碳预付费NFC和移动操作家庭水表。我们将完成eWATER预付费家用水表原型的设计、开发和生产，并出口和推广到发展中国家。该项目旨在通过使用mtc作为净零顾问，将电表的生产集中在英国，从而减少产品的碳足迹，从而推动制造过程实现净零。我们的愿景是支持全球预付费电表市场，特别是发展中国家农村地区服务不足的地区。我们的目标是将我们的创新从原型转移到现场试验，同时创造一个净零制造过程，以支持出口数百万米的增长。我们将专注于确保设计和部件选择能够适应非洲的恶劣环境，制造过程将是零排放，并为英国经济服务。我们独特的创新结合了使用NFC支付设备的预付费和通过蓝牙的移动通信，确保了发展中国家的供水系统是可持续的；大规模减少水资源浪费。这确保了环境得到保护，宝贵的水资源得以保存。最终，我们的服务已经被证明可以减少全球的碳排放。
