A Carbon Credit Solution Empowering Water Security and Health in India.
Project WADI:
India is one of the world’s most water-stressed countries, facing challenges from seasonal variations and a lack of sustainable water resource management. Between 2012 and 2017, the country recorded over 69 million cases of water-borne diseases, with diarrhea being the leading cause of death. In response to this crisis, CEMAsys and CIC have launched Project WADI, a carbon credit project with a mission to provide safe drinking water to rural communities in Madhya Pradesh. This project not only addresses critical water issues but also offers an innovative carbon credit solution for businesses seeking to offset their carbon emissions.

What Is Project WADI?
A Carbon Credit Initiative with a social and environmental Impact
Project WADI is a unique initiative that provides safe drinking water to 30,185 families across the Jhabua, Khandwa, and Barwani districts of Madhya Pradesh, India. Implemented in partnership with Caritas India, this project leverages WADI devices to harness solar power for water disinfection. Beyond its social benefits, Project WADI generates valuable carbon credits by reducing CO2 emissions, offering companies a sustainable and impactful way to meet their carbon offset goals.
The Technology Behind WADI:
Solar Water Disinfection
WADI is an innovative, WHO-approved device designed to visualize Solar Water Disinfection. The process is simple yet highly effective: the device is placed next to transparent bottles filled with biologically contaminated water. By measuring the impact of UV rays, WADI indicates when the water has been sufficiently disinfected by solar power and is safe to drink. This approach not only ensures access to clean water but also replaces traditional methods of boiling water with firewood, significantly reducing CO2 emissions.

Supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Through Carbon Credits
Project WADI aligns with six of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), making it a powerful option for companies looking to integrate sustainability into their carbon management strategies. By participating in this carbon credit project, businesses not only offset their emissions but also support clean water initiatives, improve public health, and foster sustainable community development.
