The waterseer is a centralized system

that “extracts water” from the

atmospheric air through the natural
condensation occurring due to the
natural cooling of soil under the
ground.

Our Aim
Field Test
The focus of this initiative is to
refine the WaterSeer potable
water condenser.

A proof-of concept of the

WaterSeer by the Vici labs, device
was tested in 2014.
Cost of model: <Rs.1000

Proposed specifics of an Industrial waterseer
 Made of industry-grade material (like steel)
 It would be buried 5-9meters below the ground, where
temperature would be constant at 12°c
 The estimated cost is about Rs.5000
 Will collect upto 45litres
 To meet demand multiple Waterseers can be planted to
create an orchard
 Due to its practicality and ability to provide a basic human
need which is currently underserved, government grants or
subsidies can be expected to aid its production
