Since Shakru has a small net worth, the people who come to lobby him to invest have never stopped, most of them are extremely unreliable projects, which can be said to give full play to the characteristics of Indians' big brains, so Shakru did not agree to any of them, but the lobbyists he met this time were a little hesitant to say him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On this day, Shakru had just been in the office talking to the director of ZEE TV's "Current Affairs Interview" program about doing a special interview for Priyanka, when a tall and thin, neatly dressed, and Sven young man came, although Priti had already told him just now that this was a time to fight the autumn breeze, but because this young man gave Shakru the first India very well, so Shakru planned to listen to his thoughts.

However, this favor was ruined when Shakru first saw the name of the project, and even Shakru felt that this young man was the first unreliable project he had encountered, because the project actually sold water in India, and it was selling pure water to the poor in the slums.

So Shakru didn't even have the desire to turn it over, frowned and said: "Mr. Shah, I think your idea is a bit whimsical, if it is for the rich class of Thatchi or VOSS mineral water, there are still some markets (Saatchi bitter mineral water from the Czech Republic 500ML160 bottle), but you are targeting the poor in the slums, do you think they have the money to buy pure water?" Moreover, the municipal government has water trucks to deliver water to various slums every day, so they should not have the need to spend money on water. ”

Shah shook his head and said, "Mr. Pandit, you are of noble birth, you must not have lived in a slum, and I don't know how far the water shortage has been. Because the water truck is limited every day, in order to get enough water, we have to get up at four o'clock every day to go to the water supply point to line up, and when the water truck comes, everyone is flocking to it, it can be said that taking water every day is like a war, and few people can fill the water.

And the water that has been painstakingly grabbed is not clean, but much cleaner than the water taken from the ditch. Every time you grab water, you have to use several layers of gauze to filter it, and even then, you still feel small particles in your mouth.

According to our team's research, most of the diseases of slum residents are related to unclean drinking water, so it is more cost-effective to spend some money on clean drinking water than to spend a lot of money on treatment. ”

India is now experiencing extreme water scarcity due to urbanization and industrialization, with water sources near cities running out on the one hand, and undrinkable sewage on the other. This, coupled with the fact that more and more people are moving from rural areas to cities, has led to an increasingly tight supply of drinking water. (In the next 20 years, 2.2 million people are expected to move from rural India to cities, most of them in slums, and this is only going to grow.) As a result, in many areas, slum dwellers rely on clean water brought in by trucks sent by the government to survive. Just like tankers carrying oil, clean water is transported to various slums at fixed times every day.

Hearing Shah's explanation, which made some sense, Shakru went on to take a look at the specific measures of the project, and after a look, he found that it was quite reliable.

Shah designed an automatic water dispenser similar to an ATM. The source of this clean water is groundwater near local settlements, but the water is inherently inedible, and Shah uses a set of water purification filters designed by himself at each water distribution station to purify the water in multiple steps.

This is similar to the water purification process in a waterworks. First of all, the water is stored in a tank placed at a high place in order to create sufficient water pressure, and then the water is fed into the filtration and purification assembly underneath, in addition to the steps of filtration and decolorization, activated carbon to absorb impurities, and adding chemicals to sterilize and disinfect, the machine will also use reverse osmosis and ultraviolet light to repeatedly purify and disinfect the water to ensure that the water that could not be consumed meets the drinking standard. The water is then divided into clean containers and transported to the tanks of the various "automatic water dispensers" for storage.

More akin to ATMs, Shah's "automatic water dispenser" uses a credit card to get water. People can buy IC cards and recharge them, and when they want to get water, they just need to bring the card and bucket.

Shah believes that in order to meet people's needs to buy water anytime and anywhere, this model of stored value IC cards is relatively ideal. "On the one hand, it's safer to do so. Since there is no cash transaction, there is no need to worry about someone breaking the 'automatic water dispenser' to grab money. On the other hand, the IC card makes it easy for people to take water on demand, and it is also convenient for us to collect statistics and adjust services in time according to people's needs. Electronicization also ensures cleaner water storage. ”

In addition, Shah has adopted IoT technology to add remote monitoring devices to water filtration equipment and "automatic water dispensers". In this way, the two sets of devices can provide real-time feedback on the operation of the equipment. If the water filtration equipment is malfunctioning or the water quality drops, it will immediately notify Shah to send personnel to repair it. When the remaining water volume is lower than a certain standard, the "automatic water dispenser" will constantly remind the water station to add water quickly, so as not to completely empty the water tank. In this way, Shah is able to ensure that people can buy clean drinking water 24 hours a day, with less manpower.

Shakru feels that Shah's goal is very realistic, which is to provide residents with the clean drinking water they need to live their lives from the perspective of community service. Through intensive professional equipment treatment, instead of simple household purification, it can produce better water purification effect and relatively low cost, and improve the drinking water dilemma of Indians. There is no step to the sky to try to clean up the waters, clean the rivers and other big projects.

But even so, Shakru still does not plan to invest in this project, first, the investment is too big, and secondly, he feels that it will take a very long time for this project to be profitable to complete, and it will definitely not be able to make a profit in one or two years, so this is not attractive to Shaklu, who is used to doing fast-in and fast-out business.
