Watergen presented an atmospheric water generator in the Watergen Emergency Response Vehicle at the resort that will ‘provide clean drinking water to guests and the community’, Hilton said.
Watergen’s atmospheric water generating systems make water from air, and is expected to tackle the issue of drinking water shortage to bring about a more sustainable environment.
“Clean drinking water is not only for emergencies but for all year round,” said President of Watergen USA Yehuda Kaploun.
