Kerala's First Water ATM
Project Location: Guruvayur Municipality
Year: 2018
The Challenge
Public places experience high footfall and require reliable access to safe drinking water.
Traditional methods often involve:

There was a need for a sustainable alternative.
The Solution

The project was inaugurated in November 2018 by the then Minister for Education, Prof. C. Raveendranath.
The installation demonstrated how modern drinking water infrastructure could:
- Improve public access
- Promote sustainability
- Reduce dependence on bottled water
The Outcome
