Isingeniso
Njengoba ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu kubhebhethekisa ukuswelakala kwamanzi kanye nokungcola, ukutholakala kwamanzi okuphuza aphephile kuye kwavela njengenselele ebalulekile yomhlaba wonke. Phakathi nalesi simo esibucayi, abahlinzeki bamanzi abaselona nje izinto ezisetshenziswayo—seba ngamathuluzi aphambili ekulweni nokuphepha kwamanzi. Le bhulogi ihlola ukuthi imboni yokukhipha amanzi ibhekana kanjani nokungalingani komhlaba wonke, ubuchwepheshe obusebenzayo bokubhekana nezinhlekelele, futhi ichaza kabusha indima yayo emhlabeni lapho abantu abayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili bengasakwazi ukuthola amanzi ahlanzekile.

Okubalulekile Kokuvikeleka Kwamanzi

Umbiko we-UN's 2023 Sustainable Development Goals Report wembula amaqiniso asobala:

• Inkinga Yokungcoliswa: Ngaphezu kuka-80% wamanzi angcolile aphinde aphinde aphinde angena endaweni ezungezile engalungiswanga, engcolisa imithombo yamanzi ahlanzekile.
• I-Urban-Rural Divide: Abantu abayisi-8 kwabayi-10 abangenawo amanzi ahlanzekile bahlala ezindaweni zasemakhaya.
• Izingcindezi Zesimo Sezulu: Isomiso nezikhukhula ziphazamisa amanzi esintu, njengoba u-2023 ephawula unyaka oshisa kakhulu emlandweni.

Ukusabela, abahlinzeki bamanzi bayaguquka besuka ezintweni zikanokusho baye kwingqalasizinda ebalulekile.

Ama-Dispensers Njengamathuluzi Okuphendula Inhlekelele

1. Izindlela Ezintsha Zokusiza Ezinhlekeleleni
Izinto eziphathwayo, ezisebenza ngogesi welanga zisatshalaliswa ezindaweni ezikhukhula/zokuzamazama komhlaba:

• I-LifeStraw Community Dispensers: Nikeza amalitha angu-100,000 amanzi ahlanzekile ngaphandle kukagesi, asetshenziswa emakamu ababaleki ase-Ukraine.
• Amayunithi Wokuzihlanzela: Abahlinzeki be-UNICEF e-Yemen basebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-silver-ion ukuvimbela ukusabalala kwekholera.

2. Izixazululo ze-Urban Slum
E-Dharavi yase-Mumbai nase-Kibera yase-Nairobi, iziqalo zifaka ama-dispenser asebenza ngohlamvu lwemali:

• Amamodeli we-Pay-per-Liter: $0.01/litha amasistimu ngeI-WaterEquitykusiza abantu abangu-300,000 abahlala emijondolo nsuku zonke.
• Izaziso Zokungcoliswa kwe-AI: Izinzwa zesikhathi sangempela zivala amayunithi uma kutholwa ukungcola okunjengomthofu.

3. Ukuphepha Kwabasebenzi Bezolimo
Umthetho wase-California wango-2023 we-Heat Stress ugunyaza ukufinyelela kwamanzi kubasebenzi basemapulazini:

• Amaloli e-Mobile Dispenser: Landela abasebenzi bokuvuna e-Central Valley izivini.
• Ukulandela umkhondo we-Hydration: Omaka be-RFID emabhejini abasebenzi bavumelaniswa nama-dispensers ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukudla ngehora.

I-Tech-Driven Equity: Ukufinyeleleka Okunqamulelayo

• I-Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG):Izindlu e- WaterGenamayunithi akhipha umswakama emoyeni, akhiqiza amalitha angu-5,000/ngosuku ezindaweni ezomile njengeSomalia.
• Blockchain for Fair Price: Abahlinzeki basemaphandleni base-Afrika basebenzisa izinkokhelo ze-crypto, bedlula abathengisi bamanzi abaxhaphazayo.
• I-3D-Printed Dispensers:I-Refugee Open Wareisebenzisa amayunithi anenani eliphansi, amayunithi ezindaweni ezingqubuzanayo.

Isibopho Sebhizinisi Nobambiswano

Izinkampani ziqondanisa izinhlelo ze-dispenser nezinjongo ze-ESG:

• Uhlelo lukaPepsiCo “lokuFinyelela Amanzi Aphephile”: Kufakwe ama-dispensers angu-15,000 ezindaweni zase-Indian ezicindezelwe amanzi ngo-2025.
• I-“Community Hydration Hubs” ka-Nestlé: Ukubambisana nezikole zaseLatin America ukuhlanganisa abahlinzeki ngemfundo yenhlanzeko.
• I-Carbon Credit Funding: I-Coca-Cola ixhasa ngezimali izihlinzeki zelanga e-Ethiopia ngezinhlelo ze-carbon offset.

Izinselelo Kumthelela Wokukala

• Ukuncika kwamandla: Amayunithi angaphandle kwegridi ancike kubuchwepheshe belanga/bebhethri obungahambisani.
• Ukungathenjwa Kwamasiko: Imiphakathi yasemakhaya ivamise ukukhetha imithombo yendabuko kunobuchwepheshe “bangaphandle”.
• Izikhala Zesondlo: Izindawo ezikude azinabo ochwepheshe bokulungisa iyunithi enikwe amandla yi-IoT.

Indlela Engaphambili: Umbono ka-2030

1. Amanethiwekhi e-UN-Backed Water Dispenser: Isikhwama somhlaba wonke sokufaka amayunithi angu-500,000 ezindaweni ezinobungozi obukhulu.
2. I-AI-Powered Predictive Maintenance: Ama-Drones aletha izihlungi nezingxenye kuma-dispensers akude.
3. Ama-Hybrid Systems: Izikhiqizo ezihlanganiswe nokuvunwa kwamanzi emvula kanye nokugaywa kabusha kwamanzi ampunga.

Isiphetho
Imboni yokukhipha amanzi ime empambana mgwaqo obalulekile: ukuthengiswa kwezinto eziqhutshwa yinzuzo kuqhathaniswa nomthelela wokuguqula abantu. Njengoba izinhlekelele zesimo sezulu zanda futhi ukungalingani kuya kujula, izinkampani ezibeka phambili izisombululo eziyingozi, zokuziphatha ngeke ziphumelele kwezohwebo kuphela kodwa futhi ziqinise ifa lazo njengabalingisi ababalulekile ekuzuzeni ukuvikeleka kwamanzi emhlabeni jikelele. Kusukela kumalebhu aseSilicon Valley kuya emakamu ababaleki aseSudan, isikhiqizi samanzi esithobekile sizibonakalisa siyiqhawe elingalindelekile empini ephuthuma kakhulu yabantu—ilungelo lamanzi aphephile.
