Generate. Store. Distribute. Secure. Your own independent water supply—produced from the air, stored on-site, and available whenever your family needs it.

GENAQ’s 500 L/day class models are listed around 502–506 L/day, using about 5.1–5.5 kW and 0.24–0.26 kWh/L under certified chamber conditions.

During periods of severe drought, governments may be forced to introduce progressive water restrictions as growing demand from communities, businesses, agriculture, and AI-driven data centres competes for limited water resources.

While no one can predict future rules, past Australian droughts provide a guide.

Households Could Face:

  • No garden watering during certain hours or days

  • Restrictions on sprinklers and irrigation systems

  • No washing cars with hoses

  • Limits on filling swimming pools

  • Reduced pressure on water supplies

  • Water-efficient appliance requirements for new homes

  • Higher water pricing for excessive use

Businesses Could Face:

  • Limits on landscape and garden irrigation

  • Restrictions on pressure cleaning

  • Water-use reporting requirements

  • Mandatory water-saving technologies

  • Reduced water allocations for some industries

  • Higher commercial water tariffs

  • Restrictions on non-essential water use

Agriculture Could Face:

  • Reduced irrigation allocations

  • Water trading costs increasing

  • Restrictions on surface water extraction

  • Bore and groundwater monitoring

  • Increased competition for available water resources

Why Some Experts Are Concerned

Australia's future water demand is expected to increase from:

  • population growth

  • climate variability

  • industrial development

  • manufacturing

  • mining

  • AI and data centre expansion

Recent reports have highlighted that large data centres may require substantial water supplies for cooling, prompting calls for improved water planning and management. However, governments have not announced that households or businesses will lose water because of AI. Rather, the concern is that all users will be competing for the same finite resource during drought periods.

Why Businesses Are Looking At AWG

For many businesses, AWG is not about replacing all water use. It is about securing an independent drinking water supply that is:

  • available during restrictions

  • not dependent on dams

  • not dependent on town water

  • scalable for offices, farms, workshops and remote sites

  • compatible with solar and hybrid energy systems

The key question for Australian homes and businesses may become:

If water restrictions return, how much control do you want over your own drinking water supply?

What would it mean for your family or business to own an independent water supply generated from the air — not just today, but for decades to come?

Why pay ever-increasing water bills when you could generate your own clean drinking water from the air — day after day, year after year?
