(OTC: RAKR) announced the signing of a Water-as-a-Service (WaaS) agreement with Jamaica’s Northern Caribbean University (NCU). Rainmaker will supply up to 5,000 liters of water per day for 3 years through their established Air-to-Water technology. Harvesting fresh water from airborne humidity with zero chemicals, Rainmaker’s Air-to-Water innovation offers NCU a cost-effective and sustainable solution to one of the institution’s most perplexing issues — drought and water scarcity. Rainmaker’s decentralized and hybrid grid / solar-powered AW-GS25 unit will be installed at the cafeteria on main campus in Mandeville, located 100 kilometers west of Kingston. NCU is an esteemed academic community of 5,000 students, faculty and staff with its main Mandeville campus nestled in Jamaica’s mountainous parish of Manchester. The university is faced with the challenge of acquiring a reliable clean water supply, which has been attempted through rainwater collection and other conservation methods to-date. NCU President Dr. Lincoln Edwards commented, “Due to lengthy seasonal droughts with unpredictable rainfall, we began searching for alternative solutions to supply our campus with consistent, high-quality drinking water. With NCU’s elevation more than 600 meters above sea level, we cannot easily access seawater to desalinate. Rainmaker’s Air-to-Water technology and Water-as-a-Service platform is the ideal approach to provide clean water with zero carbon footprint.” Rainmaker’s patented AW technology is the ideal solution where no water exists. With absolutely no feedwater, expensive piping or truck transport required, AW’s compact and scalable units are distributed directly to consumption site. At a cost competitive over other existing technologies, AW units can be powered by solar, wind, or grid electricity, or a combination, and produce up to 20,000 liters of water per unit, per day. Rainmaker CEO Michael Skinner stated, “This WaaS agreement with NCU is an exciting milestone after a decade of R&D and product testing. Our Air-to-Water tec...
