WaterProducer-Greenhouse™ Project
Benefits
CIDA's Industrial Cooperation Program contribution of 80% of the
total study cost of CAD 200,904 will enable Batavia Greenhouse Builders and
local partners to found a private joint venture operating company, GT Water
& Food Production Ltd., that has investigated thoroughly all aspects of
its business before commencing construction and operation of the water-from-air greenhouse system. Such
detailed groundwork is the key to business success that will make Grand Turk's
people more self-sufficient in their water and food supply, provide
regional socio-economic benefits, and maximize a fair and reasonable return for
local investors.
The WaterProducer-Greenhouse™ is a Canadian water-from-air (atmospheric water vapour processing) technology for
making Water + Food™.
• It grows temperate zone crops at sea-level in tropical regions.
• The greenhouse produces, from the humid outdoor air, its own fresh water for crop irrigation and extra fresh water for a variety of uses by the local population.
