The Watergen device pulls drinkable water from the air

Israeli company Watergen has provided its devices that pull drinkable water from the air to Ukrainians living in the war-torn region of Kherson.

Water has been scarce in Kherson following the recent collapse of the dam in the Nova Kakhovka region, an area of southern Ukraine currently under Russian control.

Watergen has provided five of its generators to Kherson, each of which can produce up to 900 liters of potable water every day.

The devices were donated by American Jewish organizations, Watergen said, in cooperation with the Ukrainian Jewish community led by Chief Rabbi Moshe Reuven Azman.

One of my main tasks in Israel was to visit the "Watergen" factory, which manufactures water installations from the air.

The company said it plans to distribute more of the generators in Ukraine.

Last month’s Kakhovka dam collapse hit 30 towns and villages along the river, and submerged nearly 2,000 homes in the region’s capital city of Kherson.

“These special machines, generously donated by kind benefactors, have been operational in the village of Anatevka for a while,” Azman said.

“Recently, we have been deploying them across multiple cities in Ukraine, including the disaster-stricken Kherson, which faces an acute shortage of drinking water due to the dam’s destruction. This technology is life-saving, and we are committed to distributing it as extensively as possible.”
