Water Mission
Supplying Clean Water & Related Engineering
In 60 countries and counting!
2,800 safe water solutions built.
In 1998, Molly and George Greene established Water Mission with the aim of alleviating the hardships faced by communities without access to adequate water filtration. Presently, they work on designing secure water and sanitation solutions in various developing nations and disaster-stricken regions across the globe.
Water Mission has a top 4-star rating from Charity Navigator and holds the Platinum Seal of Transparency from GuideStar. Charity Navigator is America’s largest independent charity evaluator, and the four-star rating is earned by only 1% of all charities rated by the organization. This distinction reflects Water Mission’s commitment to accountability and transparency.
They design customized solutions for each community they serve and partner with the recipients throughout the process.
“The Water Mission global team has engineered comprehensive safe water, sanitation, and hygiene solutions for people in rural communities, disaster and emergency situations, and large-scale refugee settlements…. Water Mission’s full-time team of engineers at international headquarters and in-country offices provide a wealth of expertise.”
“We have provided safe water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) solutions in 60 countries and have over 450 staff members working around the world in permanent country programs.”
Equipping Services
Pump Selection and Solar (PV) Design
They offer a variety of submersible and surface pumps, including solar-powered pumps.
Remote Monitoring Technology
Water Mission combines remote monitoring technology with their proprietary Monitoring and Alerting Platform (MAP) to provide instant, reliable data on the performance of safe water projects around the world. It can measure flow rate, chlorine level, system pressure, well depth, and more. The online MAP provides real-time insight into acute technical issues and long-term performance trends.
Storage and Distribution
Their product catalog includes steel towers for elevated water tanks along with bladders and tap stands made by Evenproducts. They can consult on the storage design of safe water projects to ensure proper volume and elevation are achieved.
Water Quality Test Kits
Consistent quality testing is part of their ongoing operation and maintenance strategy. Their product catalog includes four different test kits: Disaster Response Test Kit, Water Quality Test Strip Kit, Membrane Filtration Water Test Kit, and Arsenic Test Kit.
Water Treatment Systems
The type of treatment system required depends on the water source and community needs. Water Mission offers four options.
The Living Water Treatment System (LWTS) is Water Mission’s patented, comprehensive water filtration and treatment system intended for use in developing countries and disaster situations, and is capable of treating more than 10,000 gallons of water per day.
The Erosion Chlorinator is a patented water treatment device used to disinfect water from clear water sources. It uses a simple erosion technique that allows for consistent chlorine dosing in a low-maintenance application.
Reverse Osmosis systems are high-efficiency systems suitable for treating borehole water with a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) concentration of up to 10,000 ppm and can be sourced from various channels depending on need.
The Kohler Clarity Water Filtration System is designed for household use in developing countries. The system meets WHO water quality standards and can filter up to 40 liters per day.
