Deployment of a sustainable digital water kiosk network

10亿人无法获得清洁饮用水。这个问题在撒哈拉以南非洲快速增长的城市社区中尤为严重，那里的人口增长速度超过了配套水基础设施的发展。为了解决这个问题，Majicom正在开发一种最先进的水亭，通过使用太阳能来存储、净化和分配清洁的、负担得起的清洁水。它以我们灵活的净水工具包为基础，专门为资源受限的环境而设计。我们的创新净化器利用阳光(直接或通过太阳能电池板)，使我们的售货亭能够以超低的功率和成本运行。这与一个数字生态系统相结合，该生态系统协调对使用和性能、收入分享、数字支付和奖励的远程监控。这些售货亭将安装在坦桑尼亚的大学校园里，将以瓶装水50%的折扣向最终用户(学生)提供水，同时向大学提供收入分享。该项目将专注于将Majicom新颖的先进材料支持的净化技术开发成用于现场测试的功能原型，并设计制造用于2023年商业试验的数字售货亭架构。Majicom的使命是通过使用太阳能和避免一次性塑料(我们的目标是到2023年每年减少1570吨二氧化碳)来创造更好的当地健康结果和显著减少二氧化碳排放。该项目将支持英国在研发和制造方面的高技能工作，并加强英国作为水和环境技术领域技术领先者的地位。

One billion people lack access to clean drinking water. This problem is acute in rapidly growing urban communities across Sub-Saharan Africa, where population growth is outpacing the development of supporting water infrastructure.To solve this, Majicom is developing a state-of-the-art water kiosk, that stores, purifies, and dispenses clean affordable clean water via the use of solar energy. It is underpinned by our flexible water purification toolkit, specifically designed for resource-constrained settings. Our innovative purifiers utilise sunlight (directly or through solar panels), enabling our kiosks to operate at ultra-low power and costs. This is combined with a digital ecosystem that coordinates remote monitoring of usage and performance, revenue sharing, digital payments, and rewards. These kiosks will be installed on university campuses in Tanzania and will offer end-users (students) water at a 50% discount vs bottled water whilst providing universities with a source of income through a revenue share.This project will focus on developing Majicom's novel advanced-material-enabled purification technology into a functional prototype for in-field testing, and the design for the manufacture of the digital kiosk architecture for commercial trials in 2023\.Majicom's mission is to create better local health outcomes and a significant reduction in CO2 emissions through the use of solar power and avoidance of single-use plastic (we aim to save 1570 tonnes of CO2 per year by 5 ). The project will support highly skilled jobs in the UK for R&D and manufacturing and strengthen the UK's position as a technology leader in water and environmental technologies.
