WaterPure International Offers AWGs to Fight Hydrological Poverty; Suggests UN Test AWGs in Global Regions Suffering Water Shortages

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
WaterPure International, Inc. (OTCBB:WPUR) management team
proposes its Atmospheric Water Generators (AWGs) be used in the fight
against hydrological poverty. Worldwatch Institute describes
hydrological poverty as the effect of population growth on water-short
countries sentencing millions of people to water-shortage poverty
difficult to escape. WaterPure suggests that the United Nations should
test some AWGs in those global regions suffering the most from water
shortages and water rationing. AWGs from WaterPure are water-cooler
type devices that extract moisture from the atmosphere through a
condensation process transforming the moisture into three to five
gallons of absolutely pure chilled or heated healthy drinking water
each day

"Hydrological poverty is very real in today's world. I have
instructed my team to contact the U.N. and offer to set AWGs in
water-short regions to provide drinking water for the townspeople. A
single AWG unit should generate more than enough pure clean drinking
water for one person. When a number of AWGs are used, they can be
expected to further help the situation," notes Paul Lipschutz,
Chairman of WaterPure International.

About Atmospheric Water Generators

The WaterPure Atmospheric Water Generator extracts moisture from
the atmosphere through a condensation process and transforms it into
absolutely pure, healthy drinking water. Multiple air and water
filtration systems remove particulate matter smaller than .01 microns.
Utilizing high intensity UV (ultra violet), it eliminates any
microorganisms including bacteria and viruses. Operating on standard
110v power in the USA, it is extremely efficient and uses a minimal
amount of energy to produce water. Depending on local electricity
costs, a gallon of WaterPure water costs about 8 cents to produce. The
unit requires no plumbing, water lines, or pipes and is easily
installed. Driven by a microcomputer control system, it will stop
generating water when full. The WaterPure purification system employs
special filters to remove any unpleasant tastes or odor that may be
present in the air. The result is fresh and delicious drinking water
in its purest form.
