Abstract

Conservation of water is very essential as it is the universal solvent, critical, limited resource. Careful use and protection of water resources is important task today because the consumption increases along with increase in population causing depletion of conventional sources. Sustainable water consumption resources by the society that cannot be disturbed by hydrological cycles or ecological components. An increase in water consumption sustainability can be achieved by various means such as, conservation, rain water harvesting, desalinization of sea water, water extraction from air etc. In this present work this sustainability is achieved by condensate dripping water from air conditioning units of domestic use, commercial stores, offices, hospitals and institutions. This is self sustained system based on absorbing moisture from air, compressing it and condensing to water molecules. The study was to estimate the quality of water condensate and its potential uses with bacteriological aspects.
