MINISTRY OF HEALTH – The Water Optimization Technologies & Applications (WOTA) initiative in Antigua & Barbuda is making significant strides towards sustainable water solutions.
In a recent meeting, WOTA representatives provided Minister of Health, Wellness, Social Transformation and the Environment, Sir Molwyn Joseph, with updates on the ongoing pilot activities.
Key highlights of the progress include the successful completion of demonstrations for the WOTA Box, conducted between December 7th and 10th, 2023, at prominent locations such as the Department of Environment, YASCO, Pigeon Point, and Fort James.
The initiative has engaged in productive discussions with CHAPA, National Housing, and APUA, demonstrating a commitment to collaboration.
Additionally, the Minister urged the retrieval of data on the daily energy consumption of the Sir Lester Bird Medical Center to evaluate the feasibility of integrating a Renewable Energy system.
Looking ahead, the next steps in this groundbreaking project involve the completion of the Project Proposal, financing by the Government of Japan, approval in Q1 2024, and potential participation in a technology expo at the SIDS 2024 Conference.
WOTA remains committed to driving innovation in water technology, fostering partnerships, and contributing to sustainable development in Antigua & Barbuda.
