Description:
The company was formed for the creation of the concept being proposed in the Disaster relief arena. As mentioned in my attached presentation, just prior to Hurricane Katrina making landfall, the Corps of Engineers purchased 198,000,000 half liter bottles of water for distribution. This not only costly, but a serious impact on an already environmentally impacted area.
So for the past few years I have been researching alternatives and I recently formed this company in the hope of applying my expertise to the problem of supplying potable water to disaster areas utilizing the one thing that is abundant in hurricane and flood stricken areas, water. The challenge obviously is recovering the already contaminated and poor quality flood water available, and a method of processing the water in a cost effective method. The technology to accomplish this task is available, and frankly I am amazed that someone has not assembled this concept earlier.
