WorldWater & Solar Technologies Corp. (WWAT.OB), a leading developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems, has announced that the company will ship 12 Mobile MaxPur solar water and power-supply units to the Euphrates Valley of Iraq These systems have been purchased for $900,000 by The Morrell Foundation, an international charitable foundation that provides clean water to people in need.
The portable Mobile MaxPur systems are able to supply 30,000 gallons of clean drinking water per day and can also provide a source of electric power for Iraqi farmers and their families. Mobile MaxPur is a stand-alone 7-foot cube that opens with the press of a button, unfolding a solar array that can deliver 3.2 kilowatts of electrical power. Furthermore, this system, through the use of the patented AquaMax controls, can also pump and purify up to 30,000 gallons of water daily.
Quentin T. Kelly, Chairman and CEO, stated, “The Iraqi farmers do not have reliable power from the electric grid to operate their irrigation pumps or treat their water for drinking. When we received an e-mail from the Marines at Camp Fallujah requesting water purification units, we moved immediately. Morrell and Millennium responded equally. I understand families are drinking directly from the river, which of course is seriously polluted. Within 30 minutes of Max’s arrival on site, the people will be able to drink purified water from the river and able to start irrigating crops.”
Paul Jeffries, CFO of the Morrell Foundation, added, “Dedicated to providing hope and assistance to people across the world, we are so pleased to work with WorldWater & Solar Technologies Corp. and the U.S. Military to provide this equipment, which we believe will be essential in helping to improve the quality of life to residents along the Euphrates River, as well as enabling them to provide basic needs for themselves. Passionate about humanity and helping others, this is an excellent example of the wide variety of programs that Morrell offers to assist people around the world that have been affected by natural disasters, armed conflict or poverty.”
