Clean Water Access
from Systemic · host Dan Kimbrough/Park Multimedia
Imagine pulling water out of thin air. It’s actually not that far fetched. Have you ever seen condensation on a cold bottle on a hot day? Well, what you’re seeing isn’t coming from the cold beverage. It’s the warm moisture in the air interacting cold surface and creating water. That’s a crude and basic version of what Moses West, of the Moses West foundation, and his Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) technology are doing. West, a former army ranger turned water innovator, is revolutionizing water access. His groundbreaking technology pulls pure clean water directly from the air, offering a sustainable solution to water scarcity in communities plagued by contaminated groundwater. In this episode of Systemic, I sit down with Mr. West and hear stories from Puerto Rico, Texas, and Flint Michigan. In each, we learn how the AWG technology can produce thousands of gallons of clean water daily, powered entirely by solar energy. Making it a profitable and sustainable solution for many communities. Beyond the AWG technology, we look further and discuss how systemic racism, environmental injustice, and infrastructure have historically disenfranchised marginalized communities of color worldwide. West shares his personal journey from military service to water innovation, highlighting the critical need for educational outreach and technological solutions to address global water challenges. His vision extends beyond his invention, it's about empowering communities and creating sustainable pathways for survival in an increasingly hostile environments. While born in the US, West, as he says, was “raised across continents” and this global perspective, coupled with his early exposure to global inequality and human resilience have shaped his humanitarian mission.
